How can one toe cause so much pain??
Geez! I don’t even know what I did to my big toe, but the nail bed seems to be infected, and the pain is surging up my leg. I was awoken by the throbbing toe last night at 3am, so I soaked it in soapy water, and tried to slather it with polysporin — And can you believe I had to medicate myself for one lousy toe?
And the disruption! Walking the whole 1.5 blocks to work this morning was certainly eye-opening. So much for wearing my sexy boots today… Instead, it’s the same ole sensible (somewhat) shoe. The boots looked so much better with this skirt. Darn.
Second date with someone tonight! I’m quite looking forward to it.

go see a podiatrist, the doctors dont know nothing about feet
Have a fabulous time on the date!
As for the toe–soak it in warm water with some Betadine in it a couple of times a day.
Absolutely, Holly! Knock your socks off!
Hi! Michele sent me. Happy Friday, and I really got a kick out of your recent entries, especially the Ebay ad.
If you don’t mind, I want to post that one on my blog. It really is a hoot.
Thanks!
ohhhh.. second date?!?! anyone I know?
I hear you on the toe. It’s the worst kind of pain when you have to walk on it. And, the second date, we want DETAILS! Don’t leave us in the cold with one teasing sentence!
You’re the second sore toe I’ve been to today. Michele sent me.
There’s a lot of foot complaints going on today in blogland. Sorry that you’re one of them. I hope you have a better weekend.
Here via Michele’s.
ouch! you got that toe checked out? good!
boots + skirt = always a good match!
have fun tonight.
The toe thing sounds more serious than just a simple toe stubbing… especially given the shooting pain. You will see someone about that, right?
Oh yeah, Netchick sent me.
Errr…. uhhh…..
I have no idea how you girls walk in the shoes you wear, much less with a sore toe.
Dr. Russ says to treat this one from several directions.
1. Have a spin on the Black Beast
2. Top off the ride with a nice Guiness
3. Kiss the “Second Date” right on the mouth. Eyes closed, breath held.
4. Repeat #3 as required.
5. Blog it.
Damn, I hate a sore toe.
Perhaps it’s an ingrown toenail? Ewww….
Congratz & good luck on date.
Hello sore toe twin!!!!
To help ease the pain and heal the infection try soaking your foot in a tub of warm salty water. It sounds a little odd but it really helps! (For infected toes, not for broken toes unfortunately.)
Thanks guys… The toe kept me up again last night… Darn toe!!
Hahah Russ! I did repeat as directed! [evil grin]
Poor Yaeli — You are far worse off than I… And, I have been soaking in salt water all day. I really hope tonight will be better, pain wise! I need some sleep. I hope your pain isn’t as bad now.
