I have just spent 2 hours of my life at the doctor's office and then across the hall in Xray and I don't know anymore than I did before I got there.

No shit...the doctor looked at it, felt around the base of my toe and the side of my foot and asked if it hurt where she was feeling. Nope. She touched my toe and I whimpered. She told me toes heal within 3-4 weeks and that unless it's broken by the joint, there's really nothing to be done. If it is broken by the joint I could possibly need to see a podiatric surgeon.

With that being said, she sent me to xray and told me that I didn't need to stick around. She said she'd read the films today and call me if there was concern. My appt. was at 2pm and it's now past 5:30pm - I haven't heard from her.

She told me to just wear comfortable shoes and take Ibuprofen or Advil and that was that.

Well gee, somehow I KNEW this was going to be the case but I was being told I needed to get it checked and it could be broken and there could be possible infection...soooo, I went. While all of that was true, I could have wound up in a bad situation, so far it looks as if there's no problem at all.

I was telling Jeff's neighbor about my ordeal - he sells insurance so of course all he could talk about was the great insurance lead he's gotten recently. This discussion was supposed too be all about Meeeeeee, not his work!
