a question about surgery and a injury
ok i am gettin surgery monday..well today i was walkin to my car from going threw pre-admissions and hit my little toe on a parking block..well its bruising now and worried..should i go in and say whats up or just keep it to myself..im scared they will cancel my surgery because of it!!!!! i dont think its broke just really hurt...i can walk on it just slowly..what should i do..the dr's office isnt open tomorrow so i dont know anymore...so worried
When I broke mine they had me tape the sore toe together with another . BE SURE NOT TO
TAPE IT TOO TIGHT BECAUSE YOU DONT WANT TO CONSTRICT THE BLOOD SUPPLY .
Ice it first tonight the use the tape method when walking. Also be careful using ice, use a cloth
for a barrier between ice bag and your skin. You could also go to a medical facility that is open on sunday if you live in a city that has them. Good Luck. This is only a suggestion and not meant to be medical advice of any kind or in any place of a doctor. Another suggestion you could go to the
emergency room if the pain is not tolerable.

Save yourself the trip to the ER on a weekend; if it's a broken toe they can't do anything about it anyway (I know this from sad experience) and keeping it taped up would be the best way to let it heal.
No, don't worry about the surgery being affected; it's nowhere near your intestines!!
Best wishes on your surgery date~!
