Slippery When Wet

[stormdog]

I do not have relevant experience to compare it too, but I think I may have broken my left big toe yesterday. Walking from the wet, freshly cleaned carpet into our tiled entryway, I slipped and bashed my toe in the wall. It still hurts a lot today when I try to do much of anything with it.

I know there isn't really anything to be done for broken toes, and it may not even be technically broken, but it's awfully inconvenient timing regardless as I try to move all sorts of everything around getting ready to sell the condo.

I had a bunch of broken fingers after a motorcycle accident years back- all what they call 'greenstick' fractures and all you can really do is let them mend and take painkillers.

Ooh, that sounds awful. At least I don't have to use my toes to type or pick things up...

If you have broken a toe, buddy tape it to the toe next to it (i.e., tap the two toes together). If it is really bad, you can split it with a Popsicle stick, but buddy taping will likely suffice.
