Earlier this summer, I had the distinct pleasure of breaking my first bone. I wish I could say it was while doing something dangerous, heroic or otherwise horrendously amusing. But, the truth is.... it was the result of my flip-flop-clad feet and clumsy nature colliding with the bottom of a ice cream parlor door. OUCH.
I didn't get an immediate picture after the accident. In hindsight, I wish I had. You can imagine my right pinky toe parting from the rest of my foot at a right angle. (it hurt so bad when it happened, I was sure I had ripped the toe completely off and was afraid to look).
After about 36 hours of keeping it taped in place, it looked like this:
The position got better, but the colors starting coming out after that.

Ouch! I remember when you said you broke your toe awhile back. Glad it is healed. High heels now baby. :)
I did the same thing last year. Took two months before I could wear normal (work/Sunday) shoes again. Glad yours is all better!
I'm pretty sure I broke my pinky toe years ago at a dance. Mosh pit in sandals = bad idea. Anyways, every now and then it still aches a bit or feels weird but not in a major way. This has happened less and less the longer it has been since the incident.
I'm glad you are healing up. Even if you don't have a humorous story to tell, at least you have gory pictures! :)
may I just say ou w ch! glad to hear you're mended!
