...but pray I don't get told I need crutches!!! I injured my foot yesterday at my FI's house. I can't really bend my toe, and it's swelling more today than yesterday (heels don't help). I took my shoe off and went to put it back on so I could go deliver something and it's tighter than it was this morning. Consensus says I should go to the dr tonight to have them look at it. Normally I wouldn't care - but two things make me upset....
1. It's my driving foot (and I already had surgery on this ankle!) 2. My engagement party is on Saturday!!! My shoes may need to be changed to flip flops...

GO TO THE DOCTOR!!!!
You don't want to ignore it and realize down the road you did permanent damage. Yes the timing stinks, but it could be worse.

Re: I know this sounds stupid...
It sounds like you fractured your toe. You should go to a hospital to make sure its not worse than it is. As far as your engagement party you can go to any surgical store and buy a cane just to keep the pressure off it. Nothing crazy just so you wont be hopping around to go back and forth. BTW- if you dont want some plain bandages do what Claire Huxtible did and decorate it. Hope you foot/toe feels better, keep off you foot!

I feel your pain!!!
This past Friday night I was at my FH's aunt's house and I was drunk and playing around outside and fell! I couldn't even walk out of his aunt's house that night- he had to carry me. Then the following day I went to the Yankee game on crutches then went to the ER that night. I only sprained it thank goodness, but it has been so painful and it's my driving foot as well! Today is my first day driving!! Definitely rest it , ice it, keep it elevated and go to the doctors!!! Feel better!

Definately go to the doctor, you don't want to chance running arround on it and making it worse and if not at least they can ease your mind if it turns out to not be anything serious. Good Luck, either way your party will still be wonderful!

Re: I know this sounds stupid...UPDATED @ BOTTOM!!
It's not broken!!!
Yeah!! I had the fear because of the swelling, but from what the dr could see, there's no fracture. A radiologist will be reading the x-rays today. He told me that I bruised it badly and that it looks like I have slight contusions on part of my bone. Nothing major though. Just the 'soak it at night and keep off it as much as you can'. I can breathe again...
