I think I might have broken my toe today. Stephen and I were rough-housing, and I ran into the living room. I, being brilliantly talented and not a bit clumsy, hit my toe on NOTHING AT ALL (or the floor, I'm not really sure which) and cracked my baby toe on the left very well. The pain was excruciating. I cried, it was that bad. Stephen reached to touch it, and I screamed when he did. I told him I thought he was broken. He said that it was not, I had just jammed it really well. After hobbling my way into the bedroom and moaning for a bit on the bed, I managed to touch it. Dear god. Moving it was impossible. It just hurt too much.
I looked up the symptoms of a broken toe. Mentioned excruciating pain (which I had,) inability to put weight on it (which I could do, though it hurt really badly,) severe bruising (none.) So I just dealt. We got ready to go for a walk. I put on 2 pairs of tight socks (hurt to put them on, but felt good after) and took some ibuprophen. We hobbled out of the door.
This is what we discovered when we got home and I took of my sock.
It is also really really swollen. And still painful. So, I think I either broke it, or really seriously bruised it. Looks awfully purty, doesn't it? I am so proud of me. Still clumsy. I was worried that I was growing out of it.

How's the toe now? I hate to say it, but your toe looks an awful lot like my pointer finger on my right hand did when I broke it in 2006. I ended up needing a cast like contraption for a month and it has not felt quite right since. I had help from my dog in breaking my finger, but I think it was my stepping on the finger in the process of being yanked by the dog and and trying not to fall on the tiny baby in the snuggli that did me in. I have not attempted to take a walk with dog and baby since this event.
I hope your toe luck is better than my finger luck. Heal well, Christi
