Just about broke my big toe earlier, in fact I might actually have broken it. I got up from my desk after doing my lunch notes and my foot got caught in the straps of my work back pack on the floor. Proceeded to trip and stopped myself falling by reflexively slamming my toe and foot into the ground absolute full force. Oh man did I want to yell, but I’d only just gotten the kids to sleep and I was right outside their door. It’s really fucking sore, like proper really doesn’t feel right sort of sore…I think I actually went into shock for a couple of minutes, couldn’t stop shaking, got really really cold and felt like I was going to throw up. Currently icing and it’s numb which is nice. When I move it I can feel a horrible icky pain in the toe, on the top of my foot and up my shin a bit…I don’t think that’s good.
I’ve broken a bunch of toes, mostly by kicking bed posts in the middle of the night. Smaller ones hurt like a bitch immediately but aren’t much of an issue later. Tape it to the next one and admire the strange colours. A big toe is fundamental to your balance, so might want to get that looked at propper.
Oh nasty. If you have some tape and you can touch it, try taping it to the next toe, to splint it and protect it from movement. And yep, get to a hospital when you can.

Guess I’ll see how it is in the morning…
