He's (she?) so cute! Looks rotten already! :lol:

 

He. We named him Charlie. And our other dog's name is Angel.

 

How precious!!!

 

I couldn't help it, Raven. It fell out. :lol:

 

WAY COOL!

 

Today is National Lighthouse Day.

 

Ok, you mom's out there. Is there anything the doctor can do for a broken big toe?

 

Nope. from past experiences!

 

Fajitas and beer. I once cleared out a Dunkin Donuts after having that for lunch.

 

Excellent, but beware of the Starburst blastoff!

 

Hard to say Kaci, but I don't think there is much they can do. I had one several years ago, hurt like the devil but I didn't go 'cause everyone said there wasn't anything they could do. But, I think it may have ultimately led to me having to have bunion surgery a couple years ago (both feet had a curve, that one suddenly got much worse, no proof it was the broken big toe, but foot doc said it was a possiblity) I think it's a crap shoot one way or the other, if it's a guy and he hasn't got to wear heels, :lol: I'd probably just wait and see. Good luck either way!

 

It's ME :shock: That is what i thought too but DH is pushing me to go to the dr - working barefoot today - gotta love my job

 

LOL! Been there, done that! Good luck with it! What did you do?

I was an idiot, went to step over something in the floor and came down on mine wrong, it swelled like crazy and turned black and blue all the way to my ankle! :shock:

 

Out on the water this weekend being pulled behind the boat on one of those round things you lay down and hold onto while flying across the ocean and my toe slammed down on top the water and friggin broke it. It has swelled like crazy and is black and blue but not all the way to the ankle Thank God. Your's sounds worse than mine.

 

Yours sounds pretty bad, at least you were having fun when you did it! Keep it elevated and ice it, I'm sure you already knew that. :wink:

I went around in slippers for a couple weeks, a girl's gotta do, what a girl's gotta do!

 

Kaci,

Save yourself the co-pay. Popcicle sticks (any flavor will do - me, Jen, or Beezor can eat them for you if you need :wink: ) medical tape and a sock for a good while. Let's say a week then see how it is. Take Motrin for the pain and discomfort.

You want to secure it to the toe next to it... maybe 2 of them for good luck. You want the sticks on the top and bottom of your foot. So you can't wiggle it (LIKE YOU PROLLY WANT TO! :lol: ) You will probably have to break the sticks in half so that they don't stick out.

I broke my toe back in High School. I was in a nursing class so I had basic first aid and such down pat. I did the popsicle sticks thingy then went to the doctor with my contraption on... he said he couldn't charge me for the exact same thing. He just didnt' have the heart and sent me back home. All he did was tell me how many motrin I could take and that was it! He said once I could walk on it I would be ok...

Toes are just funny like that! :lol: Good Luck babe!
