Bloody toe

[Stevepat]

Literally a bloody toe...dog got in the way and I stubbed my toe on the skirting board! Went all day at work, without realising the severity of the injury...sock off at the end of the day...it’s broken but worse, I managed to decapitate it!

Safe to say I can’t run for a bit...😔😔😔😔. I’m at week 6 and it was going so well!!

Oh dear that sounds awful!!

Ouch!

Oh no! That sounds really horrible One day my cat will end up causing me an injury as she materialises underfoot when I least expect it. It's frustrating when you had got so far, but all you can do is rest and heal. When you are ready, ease back into the programme - it will still be there for you. Good luck, and hope your toe heals as quickly as possible

I'm not sure but I may have broken more toes over the years than I've had Jaffa Cakes. Unless it's your big toe it should be okay in about a week. Annoying tho. And hurty for the first few days. Want me to come over and have a "word" with the dog?

Thanks for all the comments, wasn’t looking for sympathy but just needed people to know 😂.

Regarding having a word with the dog sallenson, I had a lot of words for the dog when it happened, he’s only just starting to be my friend again now.

Don't take up judo!! More broken toes than a broken-toed thing. Unless you really like fighting

I feel your pain. I broke my toe 8 weeks ago - the second one - and thought it would be fine in a week but I had to do 4 weeks without running and therefore started the programme again - luckily for me I was only on week 2. It is still really swollen but much less painful. I had, or rather my horse had, decapitated it also so I know how you must be feeling. All I can say is take it slowly and keep off it as much as possible - the mistake I made was carrying on as normal which I think set my healing back quite a bit. It still looks less like a toe and more like a miniature red misshapen balloon 😝

Take it easy and heal thyself! 😊

When I see any sentence involving the words "horse" and "decapitated" I have terrible flashbacks to The Godfather....

Haha 😆 yes I hadn’t thought of that...but I will be now! 🐴

I stubbed my toe , broke it and had to have surgery to stop my nail growing into my skin - very painful and only way to get it back right is to rest and keep it up 😐
