Geeky Cat Miusings

Some of you may remember that I broke my toe on December 10. It hurt a lot at the time but it slowly improved but it is still hurting me, though the pain is usually not that bad. I thought I would consult the doctor about the pain and the slow healing of the toe because she said it is possible that I may be wearing high heels again by New Year’s Eve. Well, that day has come and gone and wearing heels still hurts. I know it is not good for my toe if I wear high heels but my toe hurts even in my flat boots. So I went to my doc today and she asked me to take off my boots so that she can have a look. So I removed my socks and quickly brushed off the sock lint that gathered between the toes while she looked at her notes to see which toe was fractured, even though it should be obvious to anyone which toe is affected because of the misshapen lump. She touched it and bent it and she asked me to curl my toes. She then wrote down some notes in my file and asked if I would like an x-ray. I asked if she thought getting an x-ray was a good idea…what would we do with the information after all? She agreed — the x-ray report would only state that the toe is improving and we would do nothing but stay off high heels and avoid kicking tires for a while. She suggested I wait another 2 weeks (which is the 2 month anniversary of the injury) and return to her if the toe still hurts. I am not sure what we would do if the toe continues to hurt but in the meantime, I will sit and wait.
