Sean, the purple stripe suggest a break to me. Though actually when I broke my elbow there was a big pool of purple opposite from where I whacked it.

(Hec? Can I assume that Melanie is Melanie's real first name?)

You may. Melanie Safka.

I so want to see Jilli with pink hair. Also Juliana with blonde again.

Yeah. I was a little uncertain yesterday, but as of today I'm pretty sure it's broken. And the purple stripe has made a bit more of an advance toward ringing the entire toe.

Not that this changes my plan of trying to stay off it, keep it elevated, and iced, but otherwise not going to an emergency room.

This would not be, by the way, the first time I've broken this toe. And done next to nothing about it.

I suspect that in my old age, this toe will cause me nothing but constant pain.

When you're retired, your toe will probably sneak out and gamble away your Social Security check....

I've broken a little toe two or three times, I'm not sure which (one was kind of borderline). Taping, roomy shoes (even better, sandals if possible), don't walk too far at any one time. Works for me.

Won't be gone long, then...

Poor Sean's toe. Taping and ice sounds like a good idea.

I spent most of this afternoon on a train next to someone who totally did not understand the idea of seat boundaries. She was sitting with a suitcase between her legs (I suggested she move it over to the suitcase area, but she didn't want to), which made her let go a good six inches onto my seat. Then she complained when I crossed my legs, because my shoe was touching a bit of the fabric of her pants.

Did you tape it, Sean?

Didn't Windsparrow and Daniel meet here? (and if I have coupled the uncoupled accidently, I am OMG so sorry, but I am deeply stupid right now.)

I think that's one of my favorite Buffyisms and I say it all the time. Along with "Yeah, me!"

Didn't Windsparrow and Daniel meet here?

They met online, but elsewhere.

Did you tape it, Sean?

For a while, as I was walking. But we don't really have the right kind of tape. Just Transpore. No sport tape.

I'll tape it up again a little later, as it seemed to help.

The toe isn't really deformed or anything, though. Not even swelling all that much.
