Geez, QV, what treatment did you get for that? Broken toes are no fun, my friend can attest to that.
I describe myself as a free-range parent. Now I realize I'm also a free-range me. I just took a bath after I'd finished the lawn, wrapped the big toe to the toe next to it with some medical tape. Before I went to bed I took a pain pill, 2 acetominaphin, 2 benadryl and a sleeping pill. Slept like a baby.
It's a little bothersome today, but I haven't taken anything for it yet. I'll just keep splinting it for a week or 10 days and wear a bedroom slipper.
One weird thing that I found out with the earlier broken toe is that the nail grew back significantly thicker, which is reasonable when I think about it. Not quite long enough to clip it yet, but I'm planning on finding some heavy duty clippers.
