Oh my. I googled “How to write an essay about a broken toe” and found you. I am a writer. Two years I broke my left fifth toe for the first time. Nine months ago the second. Tripped over a computer cable twice, both times after clicking ‘send’ to pay my bills online. Two surgeries have eaten up my life and changed my self image. I have written many other things in this time but have not been able to put together an essay about this experience. You made me laugh. I will attempt to write an essay-tomorrow. So many funny experiences during my two years,why not? But you MUST see a Dr. She will certainly put you in an air cast (I would like to buy stock in the company that makes them) and when you are not wearing it elevate and ice your foot. Do not put any weight on the foot even when the cast is on. My first Dr. forgot actually forgot to tell me about the weight bearing part. Six months and 12 x-rays later he remembered. And said he was so sorry. Please take care of this. If you can send me some encouragement (about the writing) I can use it . It’s great I found your website.

@ tessa – :)

@ steve – thanks for the heads up on izaac’s story!! (i haven’t checked my blog reader for the last month… so i’d missed it). there are lots of 11:55pm stories out there… half the year push the 1155 deadline, a quarter are probably late, and the other quarter finish them the day after we get given the question!

@ tim – trifecta of broken toes!!!

@ matt – if you’re shouting!

@ glenys – you definitely win the crown for queen of crazy injuries this year!!

I sympathise! I broke my second toe at the beginning of the year, whilst on the computer… sitting on a bar stool, on computer, foot resting on the wooden rail at the bottom of the stool, it slipped, and at a strong fast rate, went flying forward (just my foot) and bang into the big box (old daggy computer) that was right near my foot… sore, black toe for way too long.
Currently suuffering from a sprained ankle from stepping off out back deck onto the ground, having just recovered from putting my back out doing my son’s shoe laces and 4 stitches in my head from a fin chop whilst surfing in calm, knee deep water at Umina… I feel like the queen of crazy injuries this year :-)

Great story Dave, Ive broken my right little toe 3 times.

First, on a door frame chasing my sister around the house (I was 12)
Second, playing NFL on the sand at Copa
Thirdly, 2 months ago, I booted the lounge.

I know how you feel, i have a very mangled little toe.

love it… just read ‘izaac thinks aloud’ post about the 11.55pm deadline and just failing to meet it. Read next post, yours… 11.55pm deadline and just failing to meet it. How many other 11.55pm stories are out there???

Hope the little toe is ok big man.
