Addendum: TWO broken toes
Mar. 11th, 2005 07:22 amOwie owie owie...
I don't know that I've ever been in this much pain. Last night was the kind of fun that's not... there's something about sharp shooting pain that makes it really tough to stay asleep.
And now... I can barely even hobble around. The toe next to the little toe is also swollen and hurts even worse than the one I thought was broken last night. That toe also seems to have some sort of bump on it now, too. Of course, we had them taped together last, since I thought it was the stable one. Beginning to think my decision to not go to the ER last night and wait to get in to my regular doctor today may not have been the best choice. Owie...
When I first got up this morning, it was bad enough that I nearly woke up
rackham to take me to the ER. Then brief rationality kicked in and I realized that even if we went, I'd still likely get in to to see my doctor sooner, even with having to wait for her office to open and for a free appointment slot. Unless we were lucky and there wasn't anyone else at the ER.
Took some more Advil and I've now got ice on it, both of which seem to be calming the EXTREME STABBING PAIN. Sheesh. I'm being such a wimp about this... I had no clue broken bones hurt this much. And I just keep thinking of my mom after her accident last year, with six fractures in her spine, a broken sternum, and a crushed hand. I'm surprised she didn't demand to be completely doped up all the time.
All I know is that I definitely want crutches... even hobbling around, walking on the inside of my foot, is way too painful.
