So this lovely cake ended up being the demise of my left foot.
I was trying to squeeze around the end of the table and behind my mother when my toe caught the edge of one of these
I went down, I cried, I exclaimed that I just broke my pinky toe (in perfect overly dramatic fashion) and single foot-edly managed to ruin the end of the celebrations.
We went home, I iced, I aleived, I went to bed hoping it would be all better in the morning...
It wasn't. It was purple, it was swollen and I could not put any pressure on it - so off to Avon Urgent Care we went (they know us well) - and three x-rays later I found out I have a Non-displaced fracture of the proximal Phalanx.
Fancy huh!
Simply put - I broke my pinky toe and now I am the proud owner of a pair of these
and this stylish new shoe
and an appointment with an Orthopedic specialsit for later this week!
Yeah me!Check out more lessons learned this week at Musings of a Housewife

OUUUUUCH! I can feel your pain. What a bummer - feel better.
Ow! Poor little piggy - she really went wah wah wah. I didn't know they could fix pinky toes. I hope you're back in your regular shoes soon. Cute pedi!
Ouch. Hope you heal quickly!
Hope it gets better soon. Sounds like a good reason to just lie around for a little bit and chill out.
Oh poor Terra! I know that has got to hurt..........ouch! I hope you heal quickly, and you know you might be able to milk this for some waiting on you hand and foot....no pun intended. Take care.
oooo ouch.. this post made my toes hurt just reading it! I hope it isn't bothering you to much right now! Let us know what the orthopedic specialist says! At least your toes are painted all cute!
I sure hope that it was good cake...
Ouch - but beautiful toe nails :)
Great you got some crutches too, to ensure you get lots of sympathy.
Hope it does not hurt too much.
Broken toes are the worst! So sorry for the mishap! Rest. But I must say your pedicure is fabulous!
Oh noes! I'm so sorry to hear that! The cake is lovely though. As is your pedicure. :-)
Way to go Terra.
What a total bummer! I hope you're back on your feet (pun intended) soon!
YIKES! At least it was for cake, though. I mean, I'd rather not break my pinky toe at all (and I'm sure you agree...) but if it was going to happen, I'd rather that it happen for the greater good of cake vs. doing the laundry...
Hope you are all healed up very soon!
Girl, at least you get to show off that cutie patootie pedi!
Feel better soon!
(We SOOO love Jack Russell Dog Detective! Darren's been reading it aloud to us. Review pending... :) Thank you!)
that is too bad hope you get to feeling better soon
OH NO! I hope it gets better soon!
Oh no! Sorry to hear about your injury! :) Great WW picture today, btw!
Oh, no! ouch, ouch, ouch! Hope you feel better soon!
First...hahahahahahahahaha
I am so glad I am not alone! lol Do it all the time, have broken each toe at least 3 times. It hurts like crazy!
I am a bit in shock that they are sending you to the ortho...was it a REALLY bad break?
Aww honey, I'm so, so sorry!
I was just thinking the other day, I gotta get over to Terra's place to see what's been going on. Apparently a lot.
And I'm sorry, even pinky toes hurt -- and it's so hard to keep them protected from getting them bumped again. Hang in there!
Wish I lived close so I could bring you some coffee or muffins or Panera or something yummy you like! :)
Thinkin' of you and hoping for a speedy recovery!
