    So last night I was going to use the toilet, and it was the bathroom that Micki had taken her bath in. Stupid me didn't check it afterward. I slipped on the floor and all of my weight ended up on my right foot. I don't know what the hell I did to it, but I know I screwed up some muscles and I think I broke my big toe. It hurt like hell, so I taped up my toes and wrapped up my foot. Later on the wrap was killing from pressure so I took it off and my toe and part of my foot was purple and swollen, so I did the whole ice thing and then rewrapped it. It hurt so bad I couldn't sleep. I took the wrap off and slept a little here and there, and pretended to sleep most of the night.

    This morning it was no longer raging purple/blue/black, but rather had no color at all. It still hurts like hell and I can't walk on it. I don't know what to do anymore.

    Yes, I am an idiot who managed to injure myself by trying to urinate in my children's bathroom. I don't know how I keep doing these things to myself. I always end up with the worst injuries from the stupidest situations.

    Any ideas on what I might have actually done to myself or what I can do to stop this from hurting so damned much without having to go to the ER? I don't want to pay the co pay over this.

    Go to the doctor! At the least, s/he could give you some decent pain medication. You'd also have peace of mind knowing exactly what's wrong with the toe.

    totally....give the girls to trace for 48 hours and enjoy a vicodin bing off your feet, on the couch and in front of the tv.

    To make matters worse, I just remembered that my best friend is supposed to be coming out here this weekend from Missouri. She just broke up with her fiance and I am supposed to take her dancing at the club behind our apartment complex. I couldn't dance right now, even if I wanted to. I can hardly walk to the toilet and back, so I don't see how I am going to be able to walk to a club! God I need a drink and a shirt for Sherri that say's "I'm with Klutz".

    You can scoot around the dance floor, dragging your cast around.

    Now, limp to the ER, byatch!

    go to the doctor!

    big toes are *important*, and that thing is surely broken!


    then buy some Turtles chocolate. It worked for me.

    it was terribly sprained, but not broken. I thought for sure it was

    The RN that did the initiail exam was pretty sure that I had broken it between the two knuckles and maybe dislocated it to boot, but everything came back clear on the x-rays. It is a bad sprain and he laughed at me. See, if it was broken it would have taken about 6 weeks to heal, but this sprain is going to take 6-8 months to heal. It will feel fine and then boom, it's back again, for about 8 months. He told me next time I was going to do something like this to just do it right and break it.

    I have this retarded shoe that I have to wear that places the weight differently so I can walk on my foot (and amazingly it doesn't hurt when I do this) I just have to put my weight on the outside of my foot. I am supposed to stay off of it as much as possible for the next 48 hours and continue to do the ice today and then ice/heat tomorrow.

    Yeah, I can see it now. Me in my dork shoe at the club with Sherri, I climb one legged into the cage and do the humpty dance! Watch me do the humpty hump! Yea!

    let me see the shoe
    ...please? :)

    If spunky finds his digital camera I will have him take a picture! It is basically a hard plastic sole with blue sides and velcro. It's so 80's! I hate it. The thing is that my temp agency is ready to put me back to work as a photographers assistant again (I loved that job, it was so much fun and so easy for the money) and I have to get back on my feet all day if I am going to do this job next week. I had to decline $320 this week. It sucks. I am such a klutz!
