I wondered why only nurses took
care of me in the ER then I realized
last night.My big toe is horribly bruised'
but I don't think its really broken as its
not nearly as painful today.But the toe
'is black and llue, and itches like crazy too
So the thing is this will heal a lot faster
than a break hence they did not meed a
doctor to see me.But its odd I was not given
the courtesy of telling me the results of the
x rays.
So I'm better off than I thought.Just wanted
to share Im not so bad off after all.

I think it is good that it is itching. Glad it wasn't broken or anything. Glad you did share this. I was wondering.

There's not much they can do for a broken toe. (I know from experience.)
But it's funny... in the book I'm currently reading, the lead character's grandmother broke her toe dancing to an exercise tape.

That's great news! I hope it is not broken, then it will feel normal much sooner. Next time--God forbid--you are in that situation, ask to see your x-rays. You have a right to see them and I don't know why they didn't take the time to show them to you. Sometimes you have to be assertive!

Well I am very glad that it isn't broken but still, it is very sore I am sure and it would have been nice if they had told you surely.
