While the doctor's first choice would be to do surgery, he felt going a nonsurgical route can work, and if it doesn't, the consequences for me aren't dire, and he's willing to keep working with me throughout the healing process, including fixing things if the nonsurgical route doesn't work out as well as it might. So I'm happy! And for anyone who sees this entry and not the last one, all we're talking about is a broken toe. It's uncomfortable and interfering with my life, but it's not, y'know, a hip or my back--or an ankle shattered in multiple places, like one of my DW friends is healing from right now. V. grateful, all things considered.

Comments off just because all I really want to do with this post is just let people who saw the last post know the outcome.

I broke my toe! Falling down in my own house! How dumb is that? And when the doctor looked at the X-ray, he said he wanted to talk to a foot surgeon because of the nature of the break... and now they want to do surgery. I am NOT EAGER for that, not one bit. I thought they could just put it in a boot and it would get better. So I will talk to the surgeon tomorrow and try to get a better sense of things.

This was not in my game plan, but I guess breaking random bones, big or small, rarely is in anyone's game plan.
