My first broken bone

Well, after living almost 31 years, i've finally broken a bone. I fell down my stairs around 4:45am on Thursday morning and landed on my right pinkie toe. Confirmation came in yesterday afternoon when I went to the podiatrist. Yup, it's broken. Not only did I break my toe but I broke it in the joint. Now i'm in a surgical shoe but at least I can drive. The doctor also told me that I could develop Arthritis in that toe when I get older because of the way I broke it. Isn't that just lovely? Well, of course my wonderful husband found it quite amusing that the toe broke because I am always making fun of him for being accident prone. I can't believe how much a broken toe can hurt but my 9lb. puppy jumped on my foot last night and I screamed, it wasn't pretty. So, lets see how this goes. He said it may take 6 weeks or longer to heal. I am such a clutz!!

I broke my toe a long time ago. They made my duct tape a block of wood under my shoe. Did I mention this was junior high. Yeah, I wasn't popular and that didn't help. Feel better.

Oh, man. Broken toes REALLY hurt. The worst part is, you don't even get a cast for people to sign. I hope your foot feels better soon!
