Yep, for sure the toe is broken. I decided to see my doctor this morning. It was hurting big time today, and still swollen and many shades of purple, blue and red. I just wanted to make sure that nothing else was going on, so went, had x-rays, and sure enough the little piggy is broken clean through. She said it was aligned great, and the fact that I had Birkenstock sandals on was a good thing. The foot bed is hard enough to keep the toe straight and the fact that it's cupped up around the toe kept it where it should be. So Sherry, good call.
I will be going to the hospital for my shift, and have permission to wear the sandal on just one foot. Not my style but it works. The doctor said I should not put my foot into a closed shoe for at least two weeks and that it would be a month or more before I am good as new. She said I could expect it to swell more than it has and it will get better in time. This is the first time in my life that I have ever broken ANYTHING. This hurt like heck, and I cannot imagine breaking anything bigger. That's it, and here is a link to Michelle's picture of the poor little piggy.
