Steel Toe Shoes and a Happy Ending

Just got back from seeing the Orthopedist concerning Mr. Wonderful's mangled and broken big toe. The new x-ray revealed two breaks but no bone displacement. He has a purple big toe with no toe nail but remarkably no pain. Good news is that no pinning will be necessary.

We asked when he could wear a shoe again as today was rainy and cold and the little canvas sandal provides no protection. He was told as long as he isn't having pain he can wear his shoes. So of course I insisted that we go immediately and buy him some steel toed safety shoes.

He bought a really nice pair of Timberlines that look really nice and feel even better. I feel much better knowing that his bare naked nail less toe now has some protection should anyone decided to drop something on it or should he accidentally hit it against something in the warehouse.

We go back in two weeks unless he develops pain or infection. We praise God for his remarkable healing ability and his amazing goodness to us. Thank you for praying.....it's working!

I'm glad Mr. Wonderful found a pair of COMFY steel toes -- because most of them aren't! But it's SO worth it to pay the extra to get the comfortable ones!!! So... I guess he's all done being confined now, huh? Your Florence Nightengale stint is over? You get coffee in bed tomorrow? ;)

YEA!!!!! I am so glad Mr. Wonderful now has steel toed protection and that his toe did not need surgery. What a blessing.
Love you and miss you. Take care.
