make sure I do it right! My toe is fractured in not just one place but two. I'm all taped up between the toes and on the foot with a lovely surgical shoe to complete the ensemble, a prescription, orders to elevate and ice the tootsies and an appointment card for a recheck in a month. Probably looking a healing time between 4 and 6 weeks if I'm lucky. Looks like someone will need to volunteer to walk Otto and other assorted household tasks around here at least until I can get a shoe back on my foot.

Interesting way to spend the last couple of days of vacation!

Your vacations are always interesting! Glad you got it checked and hope it's not too painful. I'm guessing it must be hurting or you wouldn't have gone to

Oh Susan...so sorry to hear this. When you hurt that much, you have to get it checked out! That is not a good way to get some rest. You must have done some job on those tootsies to be in a surgical shoe.


Hope Otto gives you a break and someone else steps up to take over for you for his walks.


Hang in there...

Ouch, ouch, ouch.........glad you got it checked out. But man........ouch! Rest it, take it easy and let the others pick up the slack. Thank goodness it is summer and the shoe of fashion is the open toe flip flops!
