How did I manage such a feat, you may wonder? I stubbed it on the corner of the wall while trying to get to Eva because she was crying. The sound of a toe breaking is a special sound. I've never broken a bone before, but I knew it was broken as soon as it happened.
I'll be posting pictures from California soon, but until then, enjoy these pictures from today. Or don't look... I understand it's kinda gross.
Normally my pinky toe lines up with all my other toes.
The arrow is pointing at the break.
I drew a line over the break for your viewing pleasure.The doctor at the Instacare laughed when I told him I wanted a picture of my x-rays for my blog.
For those who are still reading... no cast, just "buddy taping" where they taped my pinky toe to the next toe. 2-4 weeks of that, and then hopefully it will be nearly healed. The doctor did say it will probably hurt for about a week. Too bad the only thing he told me to take was tylenol and ibprofen... it's not doing much for me.

OH MAN! That totally sucks! I'm so sorry! I hope you heal quickly!
I broke my next to the pinky toe one summer. It was a shopping cart accident. Someone cut me off at the store and I stubbed it on the wheel of the cart. Yowza.
that is quite a feet!- excuse my phun.
not fun at all!!!!! I hope you feel better sooner than later- even though the drugs aren't much help now- that's the only good thing about pain- it eventually goes away. that would be very very sad if it didn't!
--- cringe----
mental image of birthing pain not going away....
Bummer about your toe. I totally would have gotten a picture of my x-ray too :-)
did you swear?
I would have.
I don't even want to know what it sounds like to break a toe! I gave up on ever taking Tylenol or Ibuprofen years ago, when they never worked well enough for the relief they promised! I hope that it is near the end of the constant pain.
So sorry, Nancy about your toe. I hope it heals soon.
Hey Nancy,
Stop by my blog Gofita's pages when you get a chance. I have an award for you! you can link to it from my other blog!
Hope it feels better soon.
It may be a small toe, but I am sure it hurts big time! Feel better soon.
Are you feeling better? We're pretty booked the next two weekends...but we could do a weeknight if you guys are up to it. I know it gets late fast when peeps have to get home from work first and a little baby has to go to bed as well! So let me know what works for you!
