Yesterday morning, Sissy woke me up earlier than I would have liked and upon leaving the bedroom, I was yawning and shuffling along. I know this house like the back of my hand, so I wasn't concerned about inflicting bodily harm.
I was OH SO WRONG. We have an older house, which means our heating/cooling vents are not flush mount to the floor, but rather semi wall mounted, on the floor, but have a half of a triangle shape.
In my half sleep stupor, my little left pinky toe cracked into the corner of that vent. The pain brought me to my knees and I spilled the cup of water that is my ever present BFF.
Ok, so at first, it just was a little on the sore side, but then... it started to swell and change colors.
This morning 3/4 of my foot is swollen and bruised. My toe was black yesterday and this morning, it's more purple. I can move it and walk on it (not well - I kinda have to walk on my instep). I don't think anything is broken, but the Evil Twin wants me to get it checked out.
I see my regular doc today later on.
What do y'all think? Medical attention necessary or just ice that mofo, build a bridge and get over it?
And an extra value-added side view:
Momma needs to repaint her toenails and do something about the cuticles, but at this point, I'm not so concerned about the glitter or even proper trying to look decent with my feet. So, try to block out the hideous toe care. I've been busy, y'all!
Hooligans, have a great Wednesday. I'm off to get a shower and get ready for my stunning foot appearance at the docs office.
Love,
Holy cow! That looks like a bad sprain -- hope nothing is broken!! :(
ReplyDeleteI broke my pinky toe about 22 years ago, on my right foot however. Mine was broken and initially was black then turned a shade of purple. I'd get it checked, mine actually felt better after they immobilized it. And don't get me started on the drugs.... :-)
ReplyDeleteOuch... hope nothing major is wrong and they hook you up with some drugs.
ReplyDeleteOuch...Just Ouch!
