Toe Troubles and other Woes

So we were enjoying the lovely weather and taking advantage of the opportunity of daylight savings time in order to meet and chat with the neighbors outside last week. SA was riding around the driveway on her bike and struggling to pedal a little uphill. She very slowly and with all of her might (while standing up on the pedals and leaning to the right)rolled over my hammer toe with her right training wheel. A hammer toe is already an embarrassingly ugly appendage, and after being fractured and swollen it looks even more lovely. Anyway, the chaos that I have been hoping to quell in the house is just getting worse and so is my toe. It feels much better this weeek pain wise but it is pointing downward instead of out like the other toes. This makes walking, unpacking, cleaning, and chasing around my 17 month old more challenging and worrisome as I am hoping that I do not have an even more deformed toe than I did already. At least before I had no mobility issues. I went back to the doctor and they taped 3 of my toes together. Hopefully that will help and I will see a foot specialist next week. Oh la la. The drama. The whole move/ sharing a car/ transitioning thing was enough drama without this foot drama. But then as my good friend reminded me, "This too shall pass."

I'm sooo sorry! I hope it heals perfectly and quickly. Having had foot troubles for oh, the last 18 years, I can really empathize! :( Praying that drama calms down for you all very soon.
