Not-really-gory photos

Do not click unless you are in the mood for "Wanna see my broken foot?" Cut for photos of bruised foot (and a cat).

The photos don't really do it justice, especially of the top of the foot - there's very dark bruising at the base of my toes that didn't show up well. On the bottom, the bruise is actually darker and extends to the side of the foot. However, you can see how it's swollen so all the wrinkles have vanished. The red marks are from pre-existing blisters, not blood poisoning. ;)

I'm surprised you didn't get one of these since they're all over the university here.

Good luck! I ended up being unable to take any NSAID but ibuprofen after taking naproxen for an extended period after hurting my back. (note: if your non-swollen ankle starts swelling after taking an NSAID, stop that NSAID immediately.)

Will do!

I failed to explain what's going on with the swollen feet/ankles in this case: it's basically your body having problems with processing salts, as a doc I know explained to me at a party. That's a very short, very incomplete, not entirely wrong explanation, but as we were at a party she didn't want to attempt to explain further. :)
