Good day to everyone!
There is never a dull moment.........Saturday night, we had a fairly large party at our home, and it weas so hot outside, that after the clean up, my husband and I needed to shower before going to bed.
On his way to get a towel, my husband (dual SJM valves), banged his foot into the door, and no doubt about it, broke at least his small toe. I thought he had fallen, leapt out of bed, and helped him to the bathroom. Toe was out at a horrid angle, he plunged it into cold water in the sink, and then.....pulled the toe back into position. He then had to lay down, as he was going to pass out. I helped him to bed, and gosh, the toe/foot looked awful. I got an ice bag, and he iced if for an hour or so, then fell asleep. In the morning he was bruised along the side of his foot to about the ankle. Hurt like heck, so he said. Hard time walking. He "buddied up" the toe. It continued to get more "blue" during the day, and he called the Dr. on Monday morning. They of course said there was not much they could do that had not already been done. I got home last night, and his foot was HUGE....terribly swollen and red. The underside was blueish, and his toe was a combination of stark white/blue and red. (perhaps for July 4th???). His entire foot looks horrible...for sure some of it from the coumaden...But the swelling 2 days later? He agreed to call the Dr. back this morning, and they've said come right in, and he is on his way there now.
My question.......has anyone here, on coumaden, had the same thing, or something similar happen? He and I are both worried about the tissues. He has had the blue toe syndrome on both feet twice last year, and two years ago stubbed his toe, where he lost the nail (other foot, big toe). I know this seems like a nothing problem, but if you could see his foot......ugh.
