My First (Probably) Broken Bone

For you Twit followers, you probably read about my Monday night…um…incident.

I was making a cake for a dinner on Tuesday. While I was cleaning up the kitchen, Clumsy Ashley decided to make an appearance, and I tripped. As I was trying to catch my balance, my foot slammed into the wall.

Ouchie.

My immediate reaction was that my little toe was broken. Then I decided I was probably being dramatic, and it was just bruised or jammed.

I hobbled around yesterday, and my toe turned all colors of the rainbow. Seriously pretty stuff. Today, it looked like this.


So pretty!

I went to the doctor today to have it x-rayed. The doctor said there was a “suspicious area” on the x-ray that was “probably” a break but she couldn’t confirm 100% that it was a break. But probably was. Very clear stuff, let me tell ya!

She sent the x-rays off to be read by the radiologist, so in the mean time, we’re treating it like a break. I have to elevate, ice, and tape it.


Anyone have any ideas on how I can make this a little less ugly? Not sure I can rock the “taped up” look. :)

Honestly, as clumsy as I am, it’s a miracle that this hasn’t happened before now!

Don’t forget to enter my giveaway! It ends tomorrow!

    Colorful tape? Stickers? Ribbon? No… BEDAZZLE it…;) haha. Okay, maybe not funny…. but I hope it heals quickly and so sorry you hurt yourself. But your first broken bone? Wow… Maybe you’re not as clumsy as you think?

    Ouchie. :( So sorry you hurt your toe. I’ve never broken anything but I’ve completely messed up almost all the ligaments in my left knee. Spazzes unite!

    I totally feel ya! I broke my middle toe on the 4th of July by stubbing it on a chair. I could probably never do it again even if I tried haha. At least you went to the doctor. My hubby told me there really wasn’t much I could do. Hope it gets better fast!!
