In the very early 90’s.. we were joisting a Food 4 Less mezzanine, for refrigeratoin equipment.. the joists were 4x12’s about 20’ in length.. we had it across 2 other joists, I had to walk out to the far side of the mezzanine and grab it to set it in position, my co-worker grabbed his end and pivoted it before I was in position, and it fell on top of my foot and broke three toes.. so I learned that the docs don’t do anything for broken toes .Wow I know how that feels!! I was drilling a piece of metal in one of these things, when the drill grabbed and stopped ,sending this hunk of steel off my bench and hit my two end toes. I danced around my shop for about 10 minutes, I went upstairs to where my Wife was in the kitchen. I sat down on the chair, she said whats wrong you look pale.
I explained what happened she said lets see both toes were black, blue and dark cherry looking and swolen over double their size. She said wow!! I think you have 2 broken toes. She said i will drive you to the hospital, Well she was right, The Doctor told me yes both broken, he sent the Nurse in and she taped the both of them together.
Said there's nothing else we can do, time will heal them up..View attachment 86618
