So earlier tonight, my friend Margo's daughter called me, asking if I could come over because her mom broke her toe!

I get over there and medics had been there and put a very simple splint and bandage on the big toe of her right foot, but it was still bleeding a bit. I drove her to Group Health's emergency care and after about 20 minutes of waiting, they finally took her in, x-rayed her and found that she has a compound fracture behind the nail bed. They put on a half-splint and totally bandaged it up. She has to see someone again within the next couple of days.
