LIGHTNING STRIKES TWICE
I’ve often claimed to be my own anecdote. But if I can’t laugh at myself…and so on and so on and Scooby dooby dooby do.
Although I don’t like to share my physical trials and tribulations, sometimes a situation presents itself that’s too ridiculous not to share. For example, some may recall post about my minute clinic excursion for a mouth ulcer last year that led to a trip to the ER for an abnormally low heart rate.
My story begins during the last week of April when I slipped and stubbed my left big toe before going of to work. I thought nothing much of it as I donned my shoe. No bruise, no swelling. It was uncomfortable but not unbearable the rest of the day. Imagine my shock and amazement when I removed my shoe that afternoon.
X-rays showed that I’d fractured it at the top joint.
A month later, another x-ray showed that my poor broken digit hadn’t healed. My sentence was another four weeks in the stylish, open toed “oxford.” Ironically I haven’t had much pain with this one. For this I’ve been thankful.
This brings me to this past Friday morning. As I blissfully stepped out of the tub after a refreshing shower I banged my right toe against the sliding-door track. Sharp pain. But I’ve done that before many times over. Nothing to worry about, right?
Instead of subsiding, the pain grew steadily worse as did the swelling and discoloration. By yesterday morning (Saturday) it had swollen more. My husband insisted on taking me to the local ER.
Before all was said and done I warned the ER nurses about my heart rate which for me is normal. (49 for those curious readers.)
A tech came in and snapped four different x-ray views. I prayed for a diagnosis of simple bruising. Go home put ice on it.
No such luck.
The PA came back and showed me one of the x-rays on her iPhone. A lovely little fracture in the middle of the joint where foot meets toe.
So I look forward to returning to work Tuesday wearing not one, but two, ortho boots.
Sigh. Off to take my pain meds.
L’chaim.
Ouch! So sorry for the double boots, but drink up the pain meds.
Hope you’re better soon.

Poor little piggies! If there is a bright side to any of this (besides the pain meds), at least it is summer, and your toes won’t freeze as they heal in those lovely open-toed ortho boots. I would suggest, however, that you start shopping around for some steel-toed boots. Sounds like you might need them once you’ve finished with the ortho ones. 😉 Best wishes for a speedy recovery.

This reminds me of two times my Dad has hurt his feet. His fingers are absolutely massive so he asks me to just check them every so often and being the Lil chiropodist I am, I usually agree and help him.
On one occasion he was wearing man-sandals and decided it’d be the perfect type of footwear to take the wheelie bins out in. The wheelie bin went over his left foot and it had stolen his entire toenail in the process.
The second time took place three week after he lost his left toenail to a bin.. he was heading into the kitchen from the living room and he managed to kick the corner of a marvel hearth, thus splitting his right big toe open and it was gushing!

So sorry to hear of your mishaps! I have had a couple that involves toes. Only was was my little toe both times. The first was on a New Year’s Eve. Another staff member ran over it with a stretcher with a patient on it. It was an accident, of course.:-) It was black and blue underneath. I didn’t get it xray as there is nothing you can do about the little toe. It hurt for months! The 2nd time my little toe got dislocated because my partner and I ran into each other. His BIG toe jammed in between the toes. I snapped it back in place myself, taped it to the next one and iced it. It hurt for weeks! A long story, I know. Sorry. Heal soon.

I know exactly how you feel. I used to walk around the house with no slippers on, until my fourth toe on right foot found one of the legs of an octagonal table. I howled in pain, and it turned out to be the first bone I had ever broken. Fast forward a couple of years and we were laminating the floor. I am so glad I wore slippers. I stood on a piece of laminate with one foot and kicked it with the other. Apparently I did not swear which, considering the pain, was a miracle. That saw my second ever break. This time my third toe on my left foot. A year later, I was wearing steel toe cap boots, and I stubbed my foot into a pot hole and my foot slammed into the front of the steel toecap. Another howling pain. This time it was the big toe on my right foot. That was the messiest of them all. I kept the toenail for a while as well. It is still at a funny angle now.
Thankfully [touch wood] it has been at least five years since the last mishap, and I can’t walk as fast as I did then.
