What do y’all do when your toe is fractured? The doctor told me to be lazy and keep my foot up. 😩 I can’t see my chickens or Dutch (my lamb).
Which toe? Big toe, bigger deal. Little toes broken are painful but as long as nothing is dislocated or shattered or smooshed you should be back to a cautious normal in a couple of days with them. Listen to your Doc if told to stay off of it :old:)

Big toe. I dropped a glass cake dome cover on it. It’s the same color as a purple nail polish lol. Yeh I’m Am being forced to sit on the couch all day 🙁. This needs to be better by Wednesday. I’ve got to wear normal shoes on the first day of school.

My husband and I had a mean rooster (have I told this story?). Little bxxstard had been blindsiding us for weeks. Then escaping the wrath of Greenjeans by scampering to the nearest unreachable spot, cackling hysterically. One evening around beer o clock, Hubbs got Ninja-ed again and he aimed a mighty kick at the bird. Which was standing directly in front of a steel fence post. Bird darts aside and Hubb’s foot clad only in a knock-off crock connects with a sickening crunch. The local ER wasn’t too busy thank goodness and as soon as the incredulous and hysterical laughing stopped he got fixed up and we were on our way. Legend has it the rooster was delicious.

Tape it to another toe. Then suck it up buttercup. Walk on it, do what you normally do. It’s just gonna hurt. It doesn’t stop me, it shouldn’t stop you.

Tape it really well to your other toes so it can't move. If the surgical tape doesn't hold it tight enough, wrap it in gauze and use duct tape.

Duct tape is wonderful. I once cut the tip off my finger with the small chop saw when the piece of wood jumped. I was alone at 2 am in our old apartment building. Blood gushing everywhere. I washed away the blood, poured Hydrogen Peroxide on it OOWW OOWW! Then wrapped it in antibiotic ointment covered paper towels (several layers to stop the blood seeping through) and duct taped it heavily and tightly. Healed perfectly in a week.

Didn't have to stop cutting moldings either. Had to finish apartment since we had a new tenant due to move in.

Can't you get a boot for school like they use for broken feet?

Yeh so if I can’t get my foot in a shoe Tuesday I’m getting a boot. It keep loving it 😒. Like my toe needs to stop twitching. It’s getting mor colorful as the day goes on.

If all goes bad I need my foot for a sheep show and class next weekend or we lose our on $300

For $300? Yeah, like I said, suck it up. Power through it. Can’t do a whole lot for a broken toe. You can sit around and wait for it to get better or you can go do what you do and it will get better. Either way, it hurts, so why sit around and let a broken toe stop you?
