Yes, there was a previous post with a similar title. In fact, the subject is pretty much the same too. I hurt my toe. The SAME toe as a few months ago, but this time worse. I didn't think it could be worse, but it is. I dropped a chair on it. Didn't think a chair could do so much damage. When it hit my foot I started screaming. I'm not a crier when it comes to pain, but I do scream and have been known to swear. This was pure screaming and since the pain didn't stop neither did the screaming. Totally worried Bray who burst into tears and Ty was on the couch with a 103 degree fever and was in desperate need of meds. I looked down to see blood pouring out of my sock. I grabbed my foot to put pressure on it and tried to calm down the baby (didn't do much good since I was still screaming). Anna got my cell phone and i called Mike who rushed home. He took off my sock and applied first aid then took me and Ty to Instacare. Even though I had plenty of padding on my foot, I was bleeding through it and it got all over the carpet. They did an x-ray and found I had crushed the bone at the top of the toe and there were three fracutes coming down from where it was crushed. Half of my toe nail was disconnected from my toe and they sewed it back in place. They also punchd two holes in the nail for the blood to come out in hopes it would release some pressure. It hurts a lot and I am grateful for medication :) Here's a photo. Ignore the lack of a pedicure. It bleeds al lthe time. The holes do their job.
