Broke three toes

I have an old sports injury in my right knee that causes my knee to “go out” without warning sometimes.  I injured myself many years ago in a karate class, I overextended my knee during a kick, and it has never been the same.  Well anyway, this morning I got up out of bed and my knee went out.  I lurched forward and caught myself with my hands, but I broke three toes on my right foot just the same.  I had never broken any bones before, and so I was completely surprised by how painful it was!  Well, it wasn’t too long before my entire foot turned black and blue so I went to the doctor who confirmed the broken toes and just taped them together.  The doctor said that there really isn’t anything more that they do for broken toes.  I figured that there would be some kind of splint!  So now I’m hobbling around on crutches for the next few weeks, and I am very annoyed over the entire situation!
