I can't walk!

I broke my toe in the bathroom last night. Kicked the trim on the door -
hurt like a you-know-what.

The good news is I can still ride my bike, do pilates and lift weights
(no lunges). I buddy taped it and it really only hurts when I go
downstairs. I can get around the house and function. But when I tried to
walk with my PM friend this noon, we had to turn back. It didn't only
hurt, my whole gait and stride was off. I'd have other problems to deal
with if I kept that up. Does anybody know how long it'll take to heal?

Thank goodness I got that bike! I rode almost 12 miles tonight, songs
blasting, sun going down. My average speed wasn't as good as it has been
but I was just happy to be out.

My big toe took 4-5 weeks, my pinky toe only 3 weeks before I could go back
to normal activity. The pinky toe wasn't broken as badly as the big toe
was. (two separate incidents)

I hope it gets better soon!

Thanks, me too.

I heard it crack. The dog came running when I yelled. Surprisingly, it
didn't swell or get very bruised looking.

Last time I went downstairs last night, I thought I'd be a cripple this
morning. Thankfully that didn't happen.
