Slowbee Posted March 22, 2016 Author Posted March 22, 2016 I would say a speedy recovery, but from all signs here, it seems you should follow your nic and take it slowly slowbee! Ride an indoor trainer with one leg and keep the affected foot elevated whilst you are training. Give it a little more time and see how you feel. How did you only have one toe get injured dude? Seems like you got off lucky with that!The one toe thing is a mystery... they were repairing the wall today and it looks like a corner of one of the concrete slabs got me. But when I look at the wall now, it really is a dangerous design. But it is what it is. There is just no more excuse for escaping the admin duties now......I cant even run to hide !
Hairy Posted March 22, 2016 Posted March 22, 2016 FFOOOOKK that looks eina ... and here I was feeling sorry for myself stuffing up my little toe yesterday ... also could not even put slight pressure on my heal without the pain shooting me through the roof. Looking back I am a woes and can fully appreciate your pain. Heal well and heal soon!

BDF Posted March 22, 2016 Posted March 22, 2016 Man that looks painful! I'm just over a broken wrist but now my wrist seems like only a bruise in comparison to your toe! Heal up quick and take it easy.

Slowbee Posted March 23, 2016 Author Posted March 23, 2016 oh dear.... well the anger, frustration and other stuff continue. Doc reckons another 10 days or so for the exposed bit to granulate over, and then another 2 weeks for the skin to cover completely and then another week or so for the skin to thicken sufficiently to fit into a cycling shoe. Still have to keep the foot elevated as much as possible - but next week he reckons I can start to try put pressure on the foot, but slowly does it. At least I might be able to move a bit more freely around the house. a bit of a blow as I was using this to do a bit of base training for the Munga ride. Guess I am going to have to start all over again in a few weeks. edit: added x ray to first post

Also, try not to replay the incident all the time. Rather focus your energy on healing and dreaming for the future.Theosophical Thursday Thought...
