It sure does smart when you run into something with your toe in the dark. You wouldn't think it would cause all the damage it did. I was going into my office about 6 am and couldn't see too well. I didn't expect a box to be in my way. Guy had moved some boxes that I had just got from UPS. Trundle bed for the grand kids. He was needing to open a closet door to get a jacket. Of course being a man he couldn't put them back where they were.
I was walking in my office and my toe came in contact with a hard box. My middle toe. I didn't know anything could hurt that bad. It hurt really bad for about an hour. As time passed it started swelling and then the top of my foot as well as my toe turned black and blue. It kept spreading. It wouldn't wiggle at all so I figure it is broken.
I went to the doctor. She said if it was broken and she was sure it was there really wasn't much they could do. She told me to go get an X Ray but I did not want to go to Rosedale which was a ways from where I live. Just for them to charge me $30 even with insurance and lay on a hard table getting another X Ray of my foot. And for what reason if it didn't help anyway to get it. So I didn't.
It is gradually getting better but it sure does hurt when I put a shoe on or walk a long ways. You never know until something like this happens how nice it is to be able to walk without pain. So afraid someone is going to step on it. That would hurt.
I am hoping tomorrow it will be a lot better but if not I will hobble along the best I can..
