I'm not having a good weekend! Max nearly getting hit by a car and I got my wing mirror snapped off, I've now gone and broken my little toe :(

I caught it on the corner of a wall when I was in the kitchen, and heard it go crack! sat down on the sofa and within 45 minutes it's swollen up and turned purple! :shock: God know's how I'm going to drive to work tomorrow with 1 wing mirror and a dodgy toe :roll: at least it's on the same leg as my bad knee otherwise I'd have two bad legs lol

Ouch!!! You must be accident prone, Hayley!!:roll::lol:

How on earth do they treat a broken little toe ....... they can't very well put it in plaster, can they? I really hope it start to feel less painful for you very soon ......
((((hugs))))

Oh, ouch! That's so painful; and there's nothing much they can do with a little toe; can't splint it! Grit your teeth, take a painkiller and drive carefully tomorrow; (((hugs))) !

You aren't having a very good run off luck are you. Hope the toe eases quickly. I don't think they do anything for broken toes anymore. They just let them heal on their own.

I lost my wing mirror the other week as well. Took the car through the car wash and it washed it right off. I wasn't amused as I had only had the car 2 days.

It's amazing what they don't do anything for any more, isn't it? Broke a rib quite a few years back when I was working for the doctors, and they said they wouldn't tape it, just let it heal by itself!!! Hurt like the devil, too....

Maybe I should wrap myself in bubble wrap and stay in bed from now on :lol:

*wanders off to find some lollipop sticks to splint her toe!*

Rotten time you're having lately :(
I'd recommend a good stiff gin if it weren't for the painkillers! Sit still and do nothing....... get waited on!

MrsH. I relied more on the good stiff gin than the painkillers with my rib.......:-D
