There's definitely something wrong

With my toe, that is.... Urgh.

It's pretty spectacularly bruised and still sore. Not huge throbbing pain or anything, but definitely sore. It's a little bit swollen, too, but it's not bent out of shape or anything. When I slammed into the couch, I whacked my toes in such a manner that they just went how if you curl your toes down. So it didn't get smashed sideways or anything. Which is something. Hubby is picking up some first aid/athletic tape and the store and I'm gonna try taping it for the next few days, see if that helps at all. I don't think it's actually broken since I can move it somewhat without it hurting. So, that's something. I'm not gonna bother going to the ER or anything since they can't do anything for broken toes anyway. So, I guess we'll see how it goes.

Oh no! If it means anything, when I bruised/sprained my ankle back in late July, it took a little over a month before *all* of the pain/swelling went away. The way it was still swollen, one of my friends thought I might have fractured it. But not long after that it cleared up.

Hope it takes much less time for your toe to heal completely! *hugs*

Thanks! The swelling seems to be down even more today. So, I think it's on its way to healing. I'm just going to try and stay off it as much as I can and hope that helps. *fingers crossed*
