toe issues

[prosewitch]

Dangit, I think I sprained the little toe on my right foot, or at least bruised it. I must've been hooping a little too enthusiastically in flip-flops (not enough foot support) on Sunday, since on Monday when I went to run, I noticed a little pain. I already had a blister on my little toe, so I thought maybe the bandage was too tight. I readjusted

Definitely stay off it as much as possible (which is near impossible, of course, what with needing feet to get from one place to another) and ice it a few times a day. It's probably just a minor strain, which will go away with a bit of rest. If you've got any advil or other ibuprofen, that can help reduce any inflammation, too, along with ice.

I'm only walking a few times a day, and rarely for more than 10-15 min at a time at a moderate pace... this is as much as I can manage to "stay off" my feet, alas. It's feeling much better today, after a little ibuprofen and no ice (since I'm lazy about ice unless I'm in lots of pain).

I was excited about upping my mileage this week, but I think I'll skip any runs, hooping, and dancing until maybe Sunday or Monday. Since I'm healing so fast, that seems like a reasonable goal (even though it might drive me crazy!).
