Lose a Toe?

If you had a bad toe and 3 different Dr's tell you that you could either have it amputated, which would mean you would have to stay off your foot for three weeks, or they could put a pin in it and do some ligament work which would require you to be off of your foot for 8 weeks and may or may not fix the situation, which would you choose?

Depends which toe.

Any other than the big toe and I'd probably have it amputated.

Yes, you would need your big toe for balance, wouldn't you.

I can describe big toe, middle toe, little toe. Would the other two be ring toe and index toe? :D It would be an index toe then.

I'd go for it then.

Saves any unnecessary pain and uncertainty, as well as extra hours in the hospital.

I guess it might be okay. A person could always make a fake toe that you could do silly stuff with, like decorate for the holidays. Narrow toed shoes might fit better.

One less digit to get arthritis in when you get older.

You could always have it stuffed, wear it as an ankle bracelet or something.

There are worse things, right?

Losing a leg would be worse. Or a nostril. ;)

What else would be worse to lose? ( I have a family member who just had hers amputated and I am trying to cheer her up)

I'm sure John wayne bobbit could think of at least one thing :crying:

Yes, and I don't think he got a chance to do anything like stuff it afterwards, either. :o :blushing: Oh what the hell. :lol:

have it cut off, and put it in a little bottle.
hang said bottle from your rear-view mirror by a string.
then you have a tow-truck.

*rimshot*

:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

And a rose to you!!!!

I think I would take the advice of three doctors. :)


I dont think it was a good thing to ask the members in here for advice. Knowing their permanent frame of mind, they will always tell you to 'Have It Off':rolleyes:

Having one of your feet out of action is a right pain int he butt

Oh Rosie, don't cut that toe off, I know what amazing things you can do with those toes :-)

You can always have your toe removed if the pins don't work. 8 weeks is nothing.

My 6th grade teacher had this done to 4 of her toes and she walked about in sandals. The toes had little metal pins sticking out which were capped with cork. She is doing fine now, 'cept she is a lesbian. I'm not really sure that is relevant, though.

You can never put the toe back on, so go with the pins.

You have a point there Hobbes, thanks. And I do like to wear sandals. Probably would be too self conscious to if I was missing toes.

and the corks would be cool, you could tell people you'd sprung a leak :P
