I broke all the toes on my right foot when were in the Philippines. A huge can of tomatoes fell from a high shelf and hit my foot (I had told everyone a milliontyzillion times "NEVER store anything heavy over your head." Boy! did everyone feel guilty! Ha!)
Off to Clark AFB hospital to be told by the orthopedist Dr. Swetherick (at least that's how it sounded...) that broken toes are "about the most painful break we can't put in a cast or do much else for."
I was told to avoid bending the toes -- yeah right --and take aspirin for pain. Siiiiigh.
My sincere sympathy and try not to bend the toes!
