lauraanne_gilman*yelp* Okay, that answered the question of if I could flex my toes yet.... (I'm a toe-flexer when I'm thinking. That's part of why I prefer to go barefoot whenever possible)
So. At 36 hours and counting, the toe is still a pretty shade of blue-black-green, but it's 'only' swollen to about twice its normal size. Yay. Nail remains intact, yay. Hurts like a m**********r, oh yeah. Can walk so long as I put weight only on heel and large toe, yay (cane is optional for short distances, required for anything more).
The general consensus is a simple fracture, for painful values of 'simple.' Amusingly enough, the toe actually looks straighter than it did before....
I will now spare you further updates.
-------------
And now since toe and felines conspire to get me up at this ungodly hour of a holiday morning -- to work. Having triumphed over the Case of the Secondary Plot, I now have to wrangle the Mutating Motivations of the Hero's faux-Mentor....
Again, remembering that I had to do this several times for Staying Dead before the universe completely gelled for me is not making this any easier. This is why we write series books -- because getting everything set up right the first time is HARD. /whinge
