So yeah, last night my right big toe cramped up and somehow bent itself all the way pointing downward, and it stayed like that. Jim and I tried everything to get it back to normal but it wasnt budging. He said right away he thought it was dislocated.
So off we went to emergency, this shit hurt so bad I was crying. All the nurses/staff kept looking at it going "wow I have never seen that happen from a cramp!" So I got some x rays and finally the doctor came in and he looked at the x rays and he told me that it didnt look dislocated or anything so he was going to try to stretch the toe to uncramp it. Never have I felt so much pain in my life I have never broken or hurt anything like this this bad. So as I'm screaming and crying in pain begging him to stop, he stops, looks at the x ray again and goes "you know what, I think its dislocated" HELLO!! Freakin idiot.
Here is a lovely pic.

So they started me on IV morphine and valium. After about 20 minutes I was feeling very relaxed and pretty damn good so back he came in to try the toe again. It really didnt help that he was like "This is the most bizarre thing, I have never seen anything like it! I showed all my collegues and they have never seen anything like it either." GREAT!! Thanks for sharing that !!
So... he finally got my toe back in the right spot. I was so ready to go home after that but it took 2 HOURS for them to get me my pain meds to take home Gotta love Kaiser.
So I have to wear a flat boot thing because I am not supposed to bend the toes for a few days (hell I cant even bend them if I tried, its seriously the worst pain ever). And I wont be fully recovered for probly 2 weeks. Not to mention I am supposed to go on vacation this weekend. No dancing or anything for me
