I broke my little toe while sitting in my recliner once. :-D Last year after my son's wedding I broke a toe, too. It took about a 3 weeks to heal. You will need to wear something on your foot to protect it from being bumped but that's all you can do. I sacrificed a pair of shoes by cutting out a hole. It looked funny and it was a conversation starter. So, take it easy, and use your other foot on your sewing machine.
