I went to Minor Injuries at the local hospital yesterday as I thought I'd better get the toe and foot checked out, as they continued to turn interesting shades of pink and purple and were painful to stand on. I picked a good time - short queues and was seen by a Nurse Practitioner and had X-rays taken within an hour.
It was very interesting to see my foot X-rayed - and to see the clear break at the base of my toe. I'm told that it is an evulsion fracture - a little chip completely separated from where my toe was bent backwards. Thankfully there was no break in the foot itself. My toe was strapped to the one next to it and I've been told not to run (or do karate) for at least 4 weeks, then see how it is. I can, however, do non-impact sports, so will be riding my bike and going on the cross trainer, which hopefully will stop me from going completely stir crazy.
Watch this space.
