My sons socks on the other hand, you just about need a gas mask when he takes off his shoes, he has the worst smelling feet :shock:
...oh, that wouldn't have worked, would it?
would have knocked out good looking doctor too. :oops:
Besides, who wants their family there, while their ogling the help? :roll:
sowwy, you have to go see ortho doc, and all...but look on the bright side...another go at a another good looking doc :D

...my fan has a round base too,...and he never smacks me...
I'd smack him back!!! :mrgreen:

They gave me some Lortab and thats helping. I keep a bag of frozen corn that we use as an ice pack, it molds around your foot, ankle whatever as it melts and doesnt hurt like chunks of ice seem to do. Its in the kitchen and the crutches are upstairs (as is the bathroom!) and the kids are in bed so you wanna to grab that for me? LOL :D Sewaholic, you got that right, I once was running UP the stairs, tripped and broke a bone in my other foot. Im talented that way! Ha Ha
Hear that frozen peas and corn work well for ice packs, but does it help flavor, when you cook them? :?
...handy place to keep crutches, - in the bathroom.
I hear in France, they prescribe suppositories* for everything, :shock: and a good pair of crutches would help with walking after that application :?
...wouldn't want you falling down and breaking something else... :wink:

But broken toes turn a nice shades of color! I did mine in on piece of antique furniture as I was pacing in the formal living room (talking on phone). After seeing stars and wiping the tears from eyes, I realized toe was not moving and got an ice pack.
The red and swelling turned to purples and blues and almost black and then to lovely green and yellow. A make up artist could not have done any better. Toe is fine, furniture is kept away from when pacing.
You can look forward to pretty colors too.
