Well I've been putting this off for several days now but the time has...
come to let y'all know what's going on.
Tomorrow at 1:10 PM I meet with a surgeon to schedule surgery and come up with a game plan on what we're going to do.
Early last week I jammed my right pinkie toe in the bathtub. Dislocated the sucker. It was pointing 90° to the right. My toes were like this ⬆️⬆️⬆️⬆️➡️. Since I have absolutely NO feeling in my right foot I wasn't aware of the absolute damage for a day.
By the time I took a look I was like damn! What have I done? Well I don't have a clue what happened. My wife who worked in the ER in Tucson didn't know what it was. At the doctor's office two doctors, two PA's and the entire staff was clueless. They'd never seen it before.
My little toe was still ➡, dislocated, the skin had sloughed off and it was black. Gangrene has set up. So I'm going to at the very least lose my toe...more to be determined tomorrow. I will not post a picture because even by standards it's gross.
