Hi All
I'm a few months into my training and had a silly accident on Saturday.
Went and dropped a cast iron garden parasol base (in the box) on the toes of my left foot!! :x
I was wearing a soft running shoe so I guess at least my toes had a bit of cushioning.
I can see the funny side now, but was not a happy bunny Saturday with thoughts of abandoning my quest :cry:
Two of my toes (the two next to my big toe) are bruised and swollen. :cry:
I went to A&E and was told they don't bother with X Ray for toes - just strap them up and let them heal. I am not sure if they are broken or fractured and I guess i may never know.
I am walking reasonably well but my question is how long I should rest it before I get walking distances again :?:
My camino is from Triacastela (or maybe Cebreiro) in early Sept so I guess I still have plenty of time :?:
I am well optimistic and don't consider myself beaten yet !
Any help or advice greatly appreciated
Buen Camino
Andy
