help.....just broken my toe!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[talcy0]

...OMG just walked into bed..........
sticking out an angle......can't look at it

If you think it's broken, go to A&E.

Hold a cold compress against your toe - a bag of frozen peas wrapped in a teatowel is good -

keep your foot elevated when possible, and don't walk on it!

am very scared...they'll need to put it in correct position...carrying on as normal....packed lunch making etc...so as not to freak dds out

don't be scared, they'll give you pain killers.

Is there someone who can help you? You really need to rest your foot and get to A&E

dh on way home, belgo

friend taking dds to school...toe is sticking out at 2 0clock iykwim

Which toe?

You do need to go to A+E so they can point it in the right direction and tape it. A broken toe isn't that big a deal, but it shouldn't be sticking out ...

Am wincing on your behalf........

Oh God - poor you. Can't believe you are managing to carry on as normal!

Agree you should get to A&E asap.

next to my little toe right foot....am shaking...feel sick....just need dds to go to school

sit down, put you feet up. Don't worry about the sandwiches. Just don't want you fainting!

dh just got home...he say it dislocated

ouuuchhhh

let us know how you are!

[Grin]

just got back from A&E
Clean break....had to pull it back into position and strap it.

Bloody hurts now!!!

Thanx for keeping me calm

I hope you're stocked up on painkillers! Take the maximum dose to keep on top of the pain. Keep your leg rested up elevated, but do move it gently to keep the blood circulation going.

Hope it gets better soon

oh sweetie !! it is very painful, isn;t it?? make sure you milk it for all you are worth

have broken toes several times......take it easy, get DH to nurture you !

thanks belgo, thanks lulumama.

Feels such a fuss over a toe.....but it is very painful.

What'd you go and do that for?? Breaking a toe! How hard did you have to whack it to break it - I'm thinking a couple of weeks off work would be good?

sounds good weebles...

thanks to all...

dd2 stood on it when she got home from school....need big protective slippers

Ouch at it being stood on!

How is it today?

Piccie on my profile.....took on way to hospital...

Thanks for asking

still, i bet your lovely DH has been comforting you.... i'm still sure i know him from somewhere

lulumama, yes, he's very attentive

quick take a pic and put on profile
then take pain killers and go to A&E.

Oh I see you have done it...sorry great minds and all.
