i can't believe what i did!
i stubbed my toe last night and BROKE IT!!!
it hurts sooo bad but i can't walk!!!
HOW IN THE WORLD CAN I HAVE A 3 MONTH OLD BEAGLE AND NOT WALK!!!
and my puppy sitters went away today for a week...
i'm so mad at myself... i'm supposed to take snoopy to puppy school tonight and i have to walk her and stuff still
guess i'll be walking (LIMPING!) through the pain! its so gross looking :S ughhhh worst timing ever

Ouch! Having broken a toe myself, I know how badly it hurts.

The bad thing is that there really isn't anything that can be done for it. All I can suggest is putting ice on it, and an OTC pain killer. Hope the pain lessens soon.

Poor Carrie....

I hope your toe heals up fast!! Did the doctor give you any pain meds?

 

[woojiebear]

haha thanks- i just had to post my frustration at how this is the worst timing ever!!!
considering i've also never broken a bone in my life!
i think someone is trying to teach me something haha.... but i didn't need doggy lessons to get any MORE challenging :S
interesting that you have a broken toe also!! heal fast!
and thanks...since i won't be staying off of it it will prob take awhile to heal. I have some t3s that i'm trying not to take.. and well...ibuprofen and ice. haha.
when life throws you lemons......

thanks!

Poor you!

Sometimes it helps if you tape the broken toe to the toe next to it -- to add some stability. I hope you are making up a good story!

 

[Murphys Dad]

Been there done that and all I can say is it will heal in a few weeks. Till then, try walking more on the heal of you foot and where large comfortable shoes with an extra pair of socks when you can.

Ouch! Hope it heals fast!

owweee...ive had a broken toe before, hit it on a underwater rock while swimming in a waterfall in hawaii....I limped around the rest of the week.

Open toed shoes help, you can buddy tape 2 toes together (but I found this uncomfortable) It heals up in a few weeks, but it will continue to be painful for a few months when you put pressure on it. Ice and Motrin are always good!!

Hope the toe heals fast. Does Snoopy react to your limping about? Everytime I pretend to walk strangely in front of Boeing, he runs to see if it's some kind of a game I want him to play

 

[woojiebear]

hahah awww no snoops doesn't react to my limping but i think it might help her to stop pulling? cuz i just CAN'T walk any faster! haha. when i did it she freaked out though because i screamed and fell to the ground... she started trying to nip me everywhere! kinda the opposite reaction i was lookin for! hah.
thanks for the tips... i have it tensor bandaged which seems to help and am wearing sandals.
at our first puppy school class today only about 5 dogs stepped on it lol. wow! you never realize how much you bang your toes!

at least the underwater in hawaii is a great story haha... all i have is uhhh i walked into the wall!... what a horrible story haha.
thanks again! drugs and ice here i come! haha
