The toe saga....

Anyone remember when I fell on my bike 4 days after we left on our trip this summer (back on 6/20/12) in New Orleans?  Well, I figured I broke my toe, but I've always heard that there's not much you can do for a broken toe so that's what I did, not much.  Actually, I did nothing for it.  So here it is almost 3 months later and it is still swollen and discolored.  Guess I should probably have it checked out.  So I did that today.  Loved the podiatrist - she was really great!  Dr. Kristi Conway is her name.  I got the expected x-ray which showed the expected fracture.  Thankfully, it is just below the joint, and the bone looks like it is healing just fine.  But the discoloration and the swelling is still there, so she wrapped it and told me to keep it wrapped every day, only taking the wrapping off at night.  She wanted to see me back in 4 weeks, but I told her that I'd like to wait 8 weeks, and if the swelling hasn't gone down by then I would keep the appointment.  She said that sounded reasonable.  Like I said, I like this doctor!  So, the moral of the story is, if you break your toe, at the very least keep it wrapped!  :-)  Hope everyone is having a great week!  Blessings.
