"You probably have broken it but there is no way to tell and not much we can do..."

Seriously, the folks down at the medical practice are all very lovely and were really nice and sympathetic when I hobbled on down there with my poorly toe today but, in all honestly, there wasn't much point in me making the effort!
I was told by the very sweet minor injuries nurse that I quite possibly had broken it, given the swelling and bruising, but that there was nothing they could do to treat it so they never took x-rays to be sure unless it was your big toe. Which means I have little but ibuprofen and paracetamol to look forward to for at least the next few days until it starts to heal. She also advised me to keep it rested and elevated as much as possible. Ha! How exactly do you do that when you work at a desk all day and your leg is stuck well below your heart level for pretty much all of it?!
So, in essence, I can't drive at the moment because it bloody hurts and if I crash the insurance company won't pay out and have basically got to live with a throbbing digit on my right foot for days, if not weeks, because even if it's just badly bruised, the nurse said I would still feel it for the next week or so. So I'm stuck working out of the local office, given my usual one is a 40 minute drive away, which isn't too bad I guess as I love the guys and girls who work there, even if they spent the entire day today taking the mickey out of me for being so accident prone!
I just hope I can hobble around well enough come Friday afternoon that I can still take the balloon ride Da Boy's mum has booked for us both! I've been looking forward to that for ages! Although, given my current form, the damn thing would probably crash land and I'd end up breaking both arms or something!
Oh well, at least Da Boy is back from his camping trip tomorrow. I'm sure he'll look after me and give me lots of sympathy.
Who am I kidding? He almost wet himself laughing when I told him on the phone last night what I'd done, the little git. Sympathy is not what I'll be getting from the love of my life, that's for sure!
