Ok so my cat tripped me up in the bathroom this morning, and i think i broke my little toe. Its swollen and black and blue. I know I know, silly, but i'm still accepting sympathy anyway. In any event, anyone have any tips on clutching with a broken left little toe?

You really can't do anything for a broken little toe. I know...I did it once. There's no way to splint it. All you can do is baby that side of your foot and wear comfortable shoes.
At least I did mine in the summer, I could go without or with soft sandles..good luck..

If I had a nickel for every time I did that while playing with the dog. Just tape it to the other toe and you'll be good as new in no time. As for the clutch problem, it's good that it was your pinky toe. Just use the other side of your foot

Lots of booze!

Wow the little toe is your balance point. Do not be surprised if you fall easy.

In the interest of you personal safety .... you need to wear a helmet, knee pads and elbow pads for the next 6 weeks!

Great advice.

I am serious. I don'r care how old you are or how carefull you are but a concussion, a broken elbow or knee will take you out.

If this was the NFL you would be classified as out for season!

What? Humans walk on feet? I teleport around.

This post is a legitimate Yaris post, but my post about mileage is not? Okay, if you all say so. *shrugs*

1NZYaris1 · 12-05-2008, 01:48 AM

The opinions in the other thread were by regular users.

Don't assume that your post wasn't "Okay", because you're the only one thinking in that way.

LMAO on the helmet and elbow pads...i think i'll pass, I already look "special" enough hobbling around. Though seriously i'm a lil worried about my walking stability on snow and ice. On the lots of liquor thing: finally a legitimate excuse for drinking and drivign :P I'm sure the cops would agree. j/k Actually i brought the car to the dealer today for the 30,000 mile service and the mechanic mooved the seat waaaay back. I moved it up a lil though accidentally not as far as normal and the change in position is helping a lil with mitigating pain when i clutch. Odd though i guess a lil change in angle makes a big enough diff with regard to the lil toe. Thankd for all the advise, and the humor. And on the fuel economy front best i have ever got was 49.987mpg normal non highway commute to work. Getting like 44 now that its cold :(

*jclo3313* · 12-05-2008, 04:27 PM

I'd break your other toe to get that kind of mileage .

mikenacarato · 12-05-2008, 04:41 PM

that is really good mileage! anywho, sorry about the toe. :(

engelm_ · 12-05-2008, 08:33 PM

Got to love broken toes. Just tape your little toe to the other toe, that should help. I have broken a few my toes, and even my sis (nurse) said that is the best. Also so make sure you ice it, also some fermented drinks may help!
