Ouch, that hurts!
DH broke his big toe. I know because I’ve done it myself more than once. He’d been complaining about his toe since he fell on Tuesday. Tonight he noticed the bruising. He came downstairs to show me.
I looked at it…nodded my head, and said, “Yep, it’s broken.”
“It hurts,” he said.
“I know it does. Are you going back to bed now?”
“Yeah, but did you see how black and blue it is?”
“It is bruising some. Another day or two and it’ll look real ugly.”
All you can do for a broken toe is wait for it to heal. This is going to be a long six weeks.
Men whine, their theatrics when sick or hurt are often worthy of Oscars.

Don’t get me wrong, I feel for him. I really do. As I said, I’ve been there.

The worst owies are the ones you can’t do anything about. I feel for him and hope it feels better soon.
He whined less today. 🙂 🙄
It might ease the pain if you bandage his toes together over a pad soaked in Witch Hazel (hammamalis) or arnica to bring out the bruise. 🙂
I gave him the suggestion–the rest is up to him. You know how men can be…
I hope he feels better soon. I think I broke a little toe a year or so ago, catching it on something as I walked past (barefoot – my own fault!) so I know how much it hurts too!
I can’t tell you how many times I’ve broken my little toes doing the same thing. I did my big toe a few years ago, so I know how he feels. He says that today it doesn’t hurt quite as much. Yay, for progress in the healing department.
