So this weekend I finally make it to an x-ray place.  At this point my toe isn’t really sore anymore unless I’m on it all day or I put excessive pressure on it so I’m wondering if it’s all really worth it.  It’s not like they can do anything for it and it’s not on any crazy angle or anything and the bruising has gone down to the point where it’s almost gone.

When I get there I actually bring up these questions to the nurses at the clinic.  Now they can’t tell me my toe will be okay and I should just go home.  You know… liabilities and all.  But they do tell me that if the radiologist does find anything he really can’t do anything anyway other then tell me to splint it to it neighbour toe.  Which is just what everyone else has beeing telling me to do.  So I say thank you very much and decided not to waste their time with my “busted” toe.

Next stop, Wal-Mart.  I bought some gauze tape and now have two toes bound together.  What a strange feeling this is and it’s actually making the toe sore a bit.  Not because it’s being splinted but I think I have the tape to tight.  Going to have to experiment to see what works the best.

So that’s it really.  Sorry I don’t have a cool x-ray of my foot to share (that would have been awesome) but I really didn’t see it being necessary.  That’s me, saving the medical industry money one non busted toe at a time.
