fisherguy Posted July 11, 2005 Report Share Posted July 11, 2005 Well i accidentally walked into my bed frame...and broke my toe pretty bad. I have done it before, and it hurts, but normally not a big deal...except i have my physical testing for the police coming up. So now i am going to have to do the run, and the obstacle course woth a mangles swollen toe. I just tried...and i can't run worth a darn right now. So it either heals at record pace, or i postpone the test. I knew something like that would happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turkeygirl Posted July 11, 2005 Report Share Posted July 11, 2005 Re: What a shocker...i hurt myslef Sorry to hear that. If I were you, I'd go see a doctor, unless you did that already. Keep off that toe for awhile to let it heal. Good luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fisherguy Posted July 11, 2005 Author Report Share Posted July 11, 2005 Re: What a shocker...i hurt myslef No doctor...i don't want to sit in an emergency room for 5 or 6 hours unless i have to. I finally got the nerve up to sort of twist it back into place so it is more or less straight. Pretty nasty cut on it, i will wait and see if i need to go for stitches. I think it was teh bone that ripped the skin Unless i need stitches no point in seeing a doctor since i doubt they will do anything for a toe.

christsavedme Posted July 11, 2005 Report Share Posted July 11, 2005 Re: What a shocker...i hurt myslef Man that sucks. If you are bound and determined to do the test you can grit your teeth and wrap it tight as you can get it to the toe next to it. I know it is going to hurt but at least you would be able to function. When is your testing? If you do go to the Dr. they may not do anything but give you some pain meds, stitch the cut, and wrap it, and tell you to stay off of it.....that is if it doesn't need surgery.

fisherguy Posted July 11, 2005 Author Report Share Posted July 11, 2005 Re: What a shocker...i hurt myslef Toe surgery? hahaha this is Canada's wonderful socialized medicine. All i wil get is stitches and tylenol 3, and i will go for that if i have to. We can hardly get serious surgeries done, i can only imagine how many years i would have to wait for toe surgery.

Shaun_300 Posted July 11, 2005 Report Share Posted July 11, 2005 Re: What a shocker...i hurt myslef yeah, waiting 5 or 6 hours at EITHER the Queensway Carleton Hospital, or the Ottawa Civic Hospital definetly isn't out of the question..... Dude if it gets really bad, gimme a ring, i could bring ya to the hospital here in Arnprior, you wouldn't have to wait near as long. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

billygoat Posted July 12, 2005 Report Share Posted July 12, 2005 Re: What a shocker...i hurt myslef Well, bad news fisher, they won't stitch that toe after 24 hours due to risk of infection. As far as the break, your right, they won't touch it either. So here is what you need to do. Since you will be testing for the police, you probably don't want any narcotics? Get tylenol and ibuprofen and alternate them (providing you don't have any stomach issues). Buddy tie your toes together (the broken toe with the next largest toe). Get some "New Skin" or strips for your toe, to cover the cut and "pull" the skin back together. Then keep it iced the next couple of days. Best of luck, and I hope it all works out!

[/ QUOTE ] Chris...i wonly wish i could blame it on the dark...it was the middle of the day, my light was on, and well i dunno how i managed that one lol. I finally had to go fet it checked out because it kept bleeding more. The Dr. agreed it is a mess. He froze it, cleaned it, set it back into place, and put one of those tape stitch sort of things to hold it closed. I am supposed to be careful and keep swabbing it with alcohol till the cut heals, then tape it to the next toe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Team Realtree Posted July 12, 2005 Report Share Posted July 12, 2005 Re: What a shocker...i hurt myslef Have broken, cracked or jammed all of my fingers (and thumbs), but nothing with the toes other than a jam or two. Heard when they break it is a terrible pain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fisherguy Posted July 12, 2005 Author Report Share Posted July 12, 2005 Re: What a shocker...i hurt myslef yup, i think anything that is head injury related, or anything that bleeds a lot gets you to bumped up the line. SO next time you have a sick kid get out some makeup and make it look like they bumped their head too. lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
