The worst day of the year

This was the worst day of the year.  Andy was up and getting ready for work when I heard a very loud thump, and rush into the bathroom to find him passed out on the floor.  No amount of shouting or slapping his face was getting a response. I thought he was dead.  Lots of prayer and panic, and he came to. Got up went back to bed, and told me to "Leave me alone, I just want to sleep."  I called the on call nurse, said to get him to the emergency room now.  Because of his Afib, they were concerned about a stroke.  Lots of test later, they thought he was fine, that is when he mentioned that his foot really hurt.  So they x-rayed his foot.  The Doctor came in and said that he and the radiologist agreed.  He had some broken toes.  Probably 3 broken toes, but they couldn't agree on which 3. Since the only treatment is to buddy tape toes together, on good one to one bad one, they said you should see a podiatrist.  That Doctor agreed that he had broken toes, but all five were broken in multiple places.So for the next 8 weeks he had to wear a very fashionable boot. They have healed....sort of....they are all pretty crooked.  Just glad that he is ok.  Gave me a horrible scare.
