My toe...is NOT broken!!

Well, my clumsiness got the best of me Monday night. Our realtor had just come over so we could make an offer on the house and I was pushing the highchair away from the table. Somehow I managed to stub the 4th toe on my right foot - bad. It hurt so much but I couldn't yelp in pain or cry because our realtor was there. No one knew what I had done I hid it so well. While we were sitting at the table I knew my foot was hurting . I took my sock off (inconspicuously) and checked it out. It was swollen and already bruising. Now, I've stubbed my toe several times in my life time and NEVER had a toe bruise. This one is pink and purple all over, top and bottom as of today. It's been sore. I called the doctor this morning and they said they did want to check it out. My appointment was a 3:40. I walked out at 5:20. I saw the doctor, had 3 x-rays on my foot, (I was triple shielded and they only got x-rays of my foot) then went back upstairs to the doctor. No fractures. Just a bad bruise. Whew! (I had trouble getting a good picture of the bruising. A lot of the bruising is underneath my toe.) If you haven't read my other foot post about my clumsy foot stabbing you should read this!

I "stubbed" my pinkie toe just Monday night, but luckily I didn't break it either(you rubbing off on me???). I have broken that same toe three times catching it on chairs. I don't know how you kept from screaming....that is practically what I was doing...not to mention my lamaze breathing. Hey if it worked for childbirth, why not a broken toe?...ha ha!
