I Broked Me Toe

[amyb]

I twisted my ankle while jogging a few years back and it was 2 hours before I had to pick up my son and my hubby was out of town. Of course, I didn't go to the doc and my ankle was so swollen/black and blue. By the time I could call the doc, there was nothing he could do (I had already wrapped it). I also found out there is more of a chance you could do more damage to the ankle, but knock on wood, that hasn't happened yet.

Geez, I hope your toe heals as quickly and painlessly as possible. Although with all the kiddos around, I know your poor toe will get more than its fair share of "bumps". Strange how a broken toe or finger seems to be the only one you keep banging into things.

Never broke a bone, but did manage to dislocate six bones in my left foot by jumping off my grandmother's roof.

Sorry to hear That you slacked off and did not have clothes folded where
you would not have broken toe.



Hope your toe gets better. I have pin in right tibia I can predict the weather too.

[RejectionMan]

toes i imagine are just like fingers after breaking. there is nothinga doctor can do, and they are never quite the same.



broke 2 fingers in my first 2 rugby practices last year.... fortunatly I set them right way while the addrenalin was running, and the pain was blocked. But I feel your pain (everytime I push a key that is)

Sorry to hear, Mayet. I think you must have the worst luck of anyone I know. Perhaps after a babysitter is requisitioned a liberal application of alcohol will help to dull the pain?

[Mayet]

Well after this time my toe has gone through the colours of the rainbow to hang between green and yellow bruising over the last few days.

it WAS much better, it will never be straight again but I was rather proud of the toes progress until I dressed my three year old for shopping yesterday and I had just put his shoes on when he decided to jump on my toe...

Suffice to say i screamed and the toe is a lovely shade of bringht reddy purple again today.


Hi Guts dear.... hows it going........

I don't drink so I thought banging my head against a wall for half an hour might numb it....

The worst pain I have ever experienced was a broken toe.
Some idiot pulled right out in front of me, so I had to lay down my bike. The brake pedal smashed my big toe into the side of the engine case.
My toe:
I'll never forget that pain.
Close second: toothaches.

[Mayet]

Oh no puhleeeeeeeeeese don't mention toothaches. I have a wisdom tooth threatening to cause me great pain at the moment.

Isn't it funny though that the pain of an extremity like foot or hand/arm injury can be so radiatingly painful.

and teeth and oh I do remember the collarbone when I did that one in too,

Same sorta thing, car pulled out in front of my bike, I had to drop the bike to avoid the car and I slid along using my shoulder and helmet as a brake. I only had a skirt on to so the gravel rash was.. well umm, did I have any skin left.........

Whats everyone elses most painful experience of injuries?

[Guts3d]

A toothache as well???? Perhaps it is time to sacrifice a live chicken...

[Duke of Rezin]

I once stepped in a basin of boiling water to above my ankle on a job. Had to wear a burn garment for several years but it kept the scars compressed enough so I didn't need any grafts. Hope that never happens again.

[Mayet]

AWell heres the pics...it's gonna be bent for life.. I got me a broked bent toe...

[Platypus]

The pain killers are blurring your vision too...

[Mayet]

Oh no thats called poor man's cwappy cam

[amyb]

where do I get that cwap cam? Looks painful though. Are you taking it easy? Ok, stop laughing, being a mom means no rest even though one is injured etc...

[Mayet]

Toes pretty good actually, It only twinges when i stand on it wrong, or the kids stand on it for me.

Kids went back to school this week after summer hols and the little ones started daycare a couple of days a week so its been great actually, I have been using the time to play catch up and relax without someone physically peeling back my eyelid and opening my eye and peering at me, saying are you awake mummy.
