Of all the dumb things...

...I broke my toe. The pinky on my left foot! I tripped over a vacuum cord while holding one of the twins...and did everything possible not to drop her (which I did NOT thankfully). Still, my baby toe got caught. The pain made me think that maybe it had been sheared clear off and I'd have to get on my hands and knees to look for it. (I can laugh about it now) It's black and blue, swollen and I couldn't get my shoes on (except flip flops) so I went to my doctor and she took xrays. She said NO exercise for a WEEK and if it's a bad break and doesn't get better, I may have to be in a case. I refuse to not exercise and forget the cast! You can't catch me, neener neener! I will buddy tape it to the next toe, swallow some pain meds and be on my way...well, slowly....and....hobbling a bit! So that's the way my morning went. Hmmph. (limping around) Chele

So sorry about your toe Chele, I know the pain I have broken mine twice in the past. Hope you feel better soon. try to have a good weekend. Rosemary

Thanks, Rosemary! Chele

Awww Chele, I hope your toe feels better soon. At least flip flops are in style What a way to start your weekend. Take Care Kay

Thanks, Kay! Chele

So sorry to hear that Chele. Yes tape it to the next toe that helps. My brother broke his toe last year & did the same thing. Hope your feeling better soon. Carly

Thanks, Carly. I guess if I had to break something, a toe would be preferable. Chele

OUCH! Darn vacuum! Big hugs, Beth

Pretty dumb, eh? I vacuum twice ...sometimes three times a day, so sometimes I keep it out. I just didn't realize the cord was lying across the floor! Thanks, Chele

...and no benefit of an epidural!! I'm happy you got your bloodwork....yay! Chele
