You can tape one toe to another to stabilize it. I broke my toe from trying to fix my toilet and had propped up the lid top and it fell over on my toe. How lucky you were not seriously hurt as your mom and kids could not have helped you out very much. I hope you don't have too many aches and pains tomorrow. I hope you feel better soon!

Ouch! That sounds so painful. The toilet cover - that is big and heavy! I'll bet that made you sick to your stomach when it first happened.

I feel so sorry for you. Hope your sore toe and all of the other body aches and pains you're going to have go away quickly. A good soaker will help a lot of it. I would definitely recommend milking it for awhile.

Luckily I couldn't fit anything else in my hands or most likely I would have had one of my kiddos or Bella. I am usually carrying one or the other.

I'm pretty banged up. Pulled a muscle in my right thigh, bruised both knees and feet, and not sure what I did to my big toe on my left foot but it's hurting pretty bad! I layed at the bottom of the stairs for ten minutes trying to figure out how that had just happened and if I needed a body cast! I will be okay though, close call! lol

I tripped going UP the stairs with a load this afternoon... I thought of you.

Yes if you have Rub A535 I recommend you use that, or icy-hot. It used to be my life saver when I rode (and subsequently was thrown into obstacles by) horses. Have the DH give you a nice massage with it, and go to bed. Add wine if you so desire.

Feel better.

Lol It's an epidemic!
Update! Saw the dr and they did an xray and all seems to be fine! It's not broke. Idk how?! It hurts so bad when I even put the tiniest bit of pressure on it. It was an urgent care place, not my usual. He said I probably just bruised it real good! I could have told him THAT at the least! Anyways, Ibuprofen for the pain and lots of rest! Atleast that's what I told my husband!

Well, I am so happy it's not broke!
Honey, can you bring me a drink and hand me the remote? HAHAHA Turn that table for a minute!!!!

Good news, no surgery! Some couch-time with the foot up, the big screen, some good movies and a Yorkie on your lap will help tons.

Glad to hear you saw a doctor and that your toe isn't broken. I hope it heals quickly. The more you stay off it, the faster it will heal.

How are you feeling?

Besides her very sore toe, I imagine she's doing very well milking it. We probably should ask how her husband is doing? JK

I hope you really are doing ok.

Oh my goodness, ya'll have me laughing right now! He bought me a sonic burger and fries tonight with a raspberry sweet tea! It was sooo yummy!

Actually, I went back to the dr yesterday. MY dr this time. It was just hurting so bad, and sooo swollen and gray and blue looking! I started googling stuff about broken big toes and about fell out of my chair (no pun intended ) in horror! All these things about blood clots, and surgery! I thought well that figures, I will be the one in a million that this actually happens to. So I tried to gather and collect my thoughts as I was near a panic attack, so I could go back to the dr.

I get there, they do another xray and tell me it's JUST a sprain. lol NO broken bones. He kept looking at my toe, then the xray back and forth. He was amazed at the way it looked and expected it to be broke, but couldn't find it. I've got an ugly shoe though now. He said with torn ligaments and tendons it could take weeks to heal. Anywho, the moral of the story is to never let your mind runaway with you from stuff you read online. I am usually good about this, but for some reason was NOT yesterday!

I'm MUCH better today, but still sore a little bit. My toe itself is still very sore! Thank ya'll so much for checking on me! Hugs to the both of you!

glad you are feeling better. Take care of yourself!!
