This is Mr. Wonderful's toe. He was loading scrap metal in a truck today and a volley ball standard slipped and crushed his big toe. The toe is broken and he had a deep gash in the toe nail bed. We were fortunate that the ER doc is also an orthopedist so he removed the toe nail and stitched up the toe.

My man is on antibiotics and pain killers right now so is feeling no pain. He will be out of commission till Monday (even if I have to sit on him to keep him down!)

Your big toe is used for balance and load bearing so he will need to follow up with an orthopedist next week to see if the bone is healing well. So if you are looking for me....I'll be the one playing Florence Nightingale.
