Did you manage to get to the doctor yet? How is it coming along?

I did see the doctor on Thursday afternoon. He said that, because the nail pulled away, I technically have a compound fracture -- the outside has a path into the inside. He said, however, things looked good and that he has never seen an infection develop with this sort of injury. Given that I have been maniacal about keeping it covered and using Neosporin, plus I'm on 10 days of antibiotics, just in case -- I'd say I am good there. He also said that, aside from going over on it again (which he strongly recommends avoiding), I can do whatever I can tolerate. Even play tennis, he said -- although, he said that might go beyond what I can tolerate for a while. I will say that it is feeling much better -- wore sneakers all day today and spent the day walking around Busch Gardens Williamsburg. I suspect I'll be on the tennis court by next weekend.
So -- here is the latest pic -- SO MUCH BETTER:

That's healing nicely. I'll post some simple shoe box designs I've made. With them, there's never an excuse for shoes to be laying around everywhere.
If I remember correctly, it took about 6 weeks for my big toe to completely feel normal. But I was able to do most activities within a couple of weeks.
