Oh no! I hope you're feeling better soon... I too know about being scared... we can be quite fragile depending on the situation...Hugs...

We use to have a Siberian Husky...i swore it was out to kill me!! I use to always be tripping over him and falling. THEN when he passed away... and there were no dogs in the house..i realized....IT WAS ME!! I WAS THE KLUTZ!!! I fall everywhere. I fall in showers. I fall on the stairs..going down AND UP! So I definitely feel your pain! Glad you are ok...take it easy for the rest of the day!

Two years ago this coming June I fell down the stairs holding Matilda and Kalina. They were unhurt but I broke my back, so I feel your pain. Get well soon.

Get a big mesh clothes bag with draw string. Toss it down the stairs first then just drag it to the washer. Safer.

May I re-word your quote?:

Get a big mesh bag with draw strings.
Aim it down the stairs...directly at the one with the most clothes in it..and throw!
Then you drag both to the washer

Oh my God!! How are you today? I am so sorry that happened to you.

Sookie · 03-09-2011, 12:50 PM

I'm fine except if I am very tired. Otherwise I made a full recovery.

Bellasmom30 · 03-09-2011, 12:52 PM

Yorkiedaze and babbsiam, you two crack me up! lol The dumb part about it is, I already have one of those in my room for dirty clothes. I was actually carrying down the baby's bedding for his crib to wash. You see, he took his diaper off this morning in his crib and did a doodie.

Yorkitalkjilly, it's the middle one. I've put ice on it and taken some meds and the purple is really not so purple anymore, more red than anything. I'm gonna have to go to the dr to be sure though when my hubby gets here. It sure does hurt still, and I can't put any pressure on it. I had such big plans today. Was gonna steam clean my carpets and do a bunch of laundry. Guess this gave me a reason to stay on YT all day though.

My husband is treating me like a queen though. He keeps calling and asking if I need anything and how I'm feeling. May have to milk it a bit.

Glad it's the IP joint and glad you are still going to the doctor just to be on the safe side. I know this part is hard for a busy mom, but if you can do the old RICE thing - rest, ice, compression and elevation, it will help your pain.

Yes, go see the doctor. I was under the impression that for broke toes there really was nothing they could do. But after reading this thread and what has been suggested as possible scenarios...I would go.
Milk it baby, I am with ya!!!

Oh, yes, I forgot the most important part - the milking!

Sammy Mommy · 03-09-2011, 01:21 PM

That is so scary. I hope you feel better soon. Try to relax and have some time to elevate your foot so the toe gets better.

Patti · 03-09-2011, 01:32 PM

Scary. I hope you feel better soon.

RachelandSadie · 03-09-2011, 01:37 PM
