hospital, toes and healing

hiya guys

 

 I've decided I want to mix my blog up a bit you know share things that's happened to me for people in that position now or have been to have someone who has been through or done the same things so today my post is all about myyyy *drum roll please* broken toe.

 

for those of you who follow me on instagram, twitter, Facebook, or even know me, you must know about my toe as I'm 100% percent complaining about it and how I believe I still need a operation to have reconstruction done.

 

let me give you a back ground into what actually happened.

in June 2014 me and my boyfriend (matt) was play fighting and as always I got far to carried away and tried to kick him, as he moved back wards to avoid it my foot went flying into the wall and as he lent back he crushed my foot and my toe snapped, automatically I knew my toe was broken and I crumbled to the floor in fit of tears, at the time I was in a state of hysterics and matts was also freaking out as we was home alone and there was absolutely no way of getting to a hospital, you see we live in a village out side of a small town called bridgnorth located in Shropshire where busses only run Monday to Saturday and yes I broke my toe Sunday night :(.

(toe twisted 90 degrees)

 

matt rang a ambulance for me and even though I was screaming in agony they said there was no way they could send one out to us as it wasn't life threatening, I've always thought ambulances had to come to you if there was no form of getting to a hospital, I still to this day believe they thought I was just over exaggerating but as you can see from the pictures below and my x-rays I was not.

 

my boyfriend has to ring his parents to come home from a day out to take me to the hospital, which was a absolute nightmare, we went to Kidderminster A&E and when we arrived I heard the most ridiculous thing of out x-ray machines shut for the night now, there meant to be a 24 HOUR  A&E, the receptionist said to us to take a seat and a nurse would see to us in a few moments which turnt out to be a freaking hour which I understood as a little boy no older then about 6 came in with a frightening cut on his head and of course children go before any injury unless its life threatening which I completely get.

 

when I eventually saw the nurse she said I cant do anything as it needed a x-ray (what was the point in waiting) she referred me to Worcestershire hospital which took almost a hour to drive to by this time I was in so much pain I was almost passing out, when we arrived at the hospital they told us they had received no paper work but we had ours so it was fine we got seen to within about 30 mins, the nurse sent me for my xray and took a few details like all places do, when my x-rays came back it looked like the woman was almost crying, she looked at me and said "i have never seen a break in a toe like this before, you've broken the bone and shattered half of it , shattered the carterlidge and shattered the ligaments"

she was in so much shock to what I had done to my foot she had to get a specialist bone doctor to examine it to see if I should be kept over night and operated on there or be sent home (I was living at home with mum and dad in London at this time) and operated on there, they decided setting it with a cast and sending me home was my best choice,

as much as my break hurt id had never felt any pain like the numbing needle I cried like a little girl.

 

 when I went to the hospital in London I got what looked to me like a junior doctor and he said to me I didn't need a operation and it would heal fine on its own, I had my cast and crutches for about 2 month, I then went in and got given a boot my god it was a space boot, I could of walked on the moon with it, the doctor said there was a 90% chance I would get authorities in my foot and it could re-break.

 

almost a year later after no problems my foot has began to get a huge shooting pain running through the break and repeatedly doing it for about 15 minutes every 2 hours, tomorrow the 15/4 I have a apt to see if I need surgery to reconstruct my toe, I am adamant my toe has not healed and there is still a huge amount of damage there, you can see my bone and I also feel pain when I touch it and what feels like pins and needles.

 

 

if you like me have done something like this to your bones anywhere on your body it is always worth going to have a check up and make sure that everything has healed properly.
