I have broken my toe...Yes, its one of those times in your life when you wish you could tell some amazing story that involves saving babies playing with puppies from a fire. Unfortunately, it was nothing that dramatic. I was rushing through my living room to grab a textbook as I was hurrying to my first day of ENT, and caught my sweet little baby toe on the ottoman.
I've stubbed my toe before, this was different. I heard a crack. It immediately started swelling. I stuffed it in a shoe, and headed off to the hospital. But walking was miserable, and I watched it slowly turn purple. It is now a nice necrotic diabetic toe color, or for those who are not blessed to know what this looks like, think serious frostbitten toe, with a pretty intense margin of blue.
But, surgery stops for no toe, so my toe and I spent the day in the OR.

What did that little toe ever do to you.
I had to make an example out of it to the other toes so they won't get out of line.
