Ouch

Would you like to cringe? Just take a look at my foot.

My pinkie toe is in tough shape. A fat man wearing spikes crushed it on Sunday morning in my soccer game. His foot tore through the skin on my toe, badly bruised the bone, and the incident has left my digit swollen and looking rather raw. Though my legs work perfectly well, it's causing me to badly limp because pain shoots through my leg everytime my pinkie toe lightly touches the inside of my shoes. I've caught two people already looking weird at me trying to figure out why I'm walking funny.

Anyone know any good tips to help heal raw skin and avoid pain? For now, my toe is wrapped in gauze and hopefully slowly healing. I'd love to wear sandals at work to avoid this torture everytime I stand up and move, but I don't want to turn into one of those scrubbing looking employees at work. Maybe tomorrow I will succumb. I wish I had a bottle of whiskey at my office.
