Sorry to hear it; it is weird how much you use that toe to balance, huh?
I thought about telling you not to bother lingering at the urgency care. I've broken my toe twice and the first time they told me that I didn't need to come in unless the bone had broken through the skin or the toe was dangling by a thread of skin or something, so I didn't bother going in next time. Sometimes I think having to wait around the hospital is worse than the injury itself!
We spent almost all day in the hospital when I fell and very badly sprained my ankle when I was 8 months pregnant with Ben. That sucked worse than anything else, ever. I had to use crutches for weeks and they made me have contractions! Then again, I bet it is hard to care for a baby with even slightly limited mobility. Hope your toe is better soon!
