Last Friday morning I got up to get ready for work and I tripped over a box and fell right into my dresser. My chest hit the corner of the dresser and my big toe slammed into the base of the dresser. Needless to say, I was in a tremendous amount of pain and when I finally got a chance to turn the lights on to see the damage, I could see the bruising starting to show. There was a cut on my chest, but it didn't really bleed too badly. The next day, when I took a look at my chest and toe, I couldn't believe how red, black, and blue they were (internal bleeding concern). I called the Dr. and he had me come in the next day. He took a look at it and said that I would be Ok, and that I needed to soak the toe and keep an eye on the injured areas (healing, bruising). Since then, the bruising has not gotten any bigger and the toe looks much better. So, be careful when getting out of your bed early in the morning!
