I broke my toe
I totally broke my pinky toe this morning.
Starting like every other morning, the alarm went off and I got out of bed to hit snooze. As I was passing the bed, I hit my toe on the corner of my bed frame. I hit right between my 4th and 5th toe. I jumped and internally swore and hopped around. Then the annoyance of the buzzing overrode any pain, and I turned off the alarm and curled back into bed.
I noticed later on that my toe was still sore. Upon closer inspection, I saw a small dark bruise. I mentioned this to a friend. She immediately told me to call the doctor. I poo-poo’d this thinking it was just a bad stub.
Later I noticed that the bruise was getting blacker and blacker and starting to wrap around my toe. This raised a flag or two. But when I curled my toes and was wrenched in pain, I though, damn it’s broken.
I have spoken the the doctor and another friend with a history of broken toes, and they both said to buddy tape it and if it gets worse, get x-rays.
So my black and blue pinky toe is taped to its buddy the 4th toe, and I officially have my first broken toe.
