Wow. This can mean a lot of things. But today it means it's official. They're broken! Well, as official a it can get without an x-ray. A little internet research by my trusty assistant Sloan led to some info that stated you cannot actually know if a toe is broken without an x-ray.
But signs are swelling, bruising and extreme pain. Got that. Lol
It's no better today, worse actually and I am TRYING not to feel sorry myself. I am surprised that I do even...it is really not my nature. But I keep thinking, how long will it be before I can plan badminton with the girls again? Chase them? Manage stairs or not guard my foot so carefully that I am constantly hyper-sensitive to movement of myself or others.
Wow. Toes. Who knew? :(
I don't think I can make it back to Eustis today like this. I have driven on it but I think it is actually just too dangerous...if I had to slam on the brakes or something..plus it swells terribly when I sit instead of lay. Lie. Lay? Whatever.

Aww man! Bummer!
Let the girls take this time to bless mama which they obviously know how to do anyway... but now you NEED it!
Ouch! I probably broke one of mine in high school (jumped, landed, "crack", couldn't walk...)It takes a long time, so rest up! I remember soaking in warm epsom salts water for the swelling and that made it feel some better.
we'll miss you tomorrow morning but I am glad to know you are resting and have people caring for you!
Pain Medicine, and lots of it is my suggestion =0
I hope you're feeling a little better and that you had a safe and not too uncomfortable ride back home! I actually saw your email and hadn't seen the blog yet...so I had to find out why your toes were hurting!
