and lost. In my 28 years, I've never had a broken bone......until my foot decided to pick a fight with an inanimate object. I was walking by, just minding my own business, when my foot (seemingly) involuntary reached out and kicked the vacuum cleaner....and kicked it hard. I'm pretty accident prone, and have stubbed my toes a lot, but when the pain didn't go away I knew something was wrong. Then the bruising showed up and it still hurt to walk on it. I knew it was broken. But there isn't much doctors can do for a broken toe so I decided to tough it out. But on Saturday I had two friends-who are doctors-tell me to go in and get it checked out. So I did. It was indeed broken. I got fitted with a sweet ortho shoe, got physical proof of my first broken bone (an x-ray), and was sent on my way. Now I just need to cook up a better story than "I kicked my vacuum". :)
Now it's time for gross pictures!
This is from Friday-the day it happened-notice the bruising by my 5th toe.
This is from Saturday-the bruising is worse.
And this is my sweet ortho shoe I got fitted with. 4-6 weeks and I should be all healed.
