An update on The Toe (which isn't The Toe My Family Know or even The Toes From My Youth)

Just bumped it in the minefield of footwear returning to bed in the dark 😜 At the time I was just glad it wasn't The Toe my family know or I would have woken MrGM and the cats screeching. And then that very compartmentalised bruising emerged.

To be honest, although I Know It Is There, it doesn't hurt that much (I am avoiding actually touching it) and certainly not in comparison with The Toe My Family Know or indeed the scars from the corrections to The Toes of my youth. I am twitchy because The Toe My Family know started when I stubbed my second (longer) toe many years ago, similar sort of compartmentalised bruising and has been a source of trouble and eldritch screeching at the lightest of bending, catching on bedclothes etc ever since.

So today I took it out for run... not to a nice semi shaded wood with lots of root-ish stubbing hazards, but a flat trail and did half an hour in minimalist shoes and I'll see what ensues.

Fingers crossed then that the toe.....(Which isn't the toe your family knows) . .....heals nicely and returns to its original unpainful colour
