I managed to break my toe this weekend and honest to god, as I was sitting on the stairs, in the dark, cursing :rant3:whatever I had tripped over, all I could think of was -how am I going to swim? I did this 2 years ago(kicked the stupid ladder on the side of the pool-while trying to make room for another swimmer- and caught my little toe) and I had to stop swimming for a couple of weeks.:toohurt: Is there something I can tape my toes with that won't come off when wet?

    ...and honest to god, as I was sitting on the stairs, in the dark, cursing :rant3:whatever I had tripped over, all I could think of was -how am I going to swim? I know the feeling...about 12 years ago I had the tip of my middle finger chopped off while checking the tension on a truck's alternator belt. I remember standing there in the afternoon sun, watching the blood from my finger squirt rhythmically onto the dusty concrete, thinking..."Damn, this a tad bothersome! Now I am going to have to make a trip into town and it will be at least five o'clock before I am going to be able to transplant my brocolli seedlings. And I'll have to put a plastic bag over my hand..." I didn't transplant them myself. A friend helped me out but I was back in my beloved garden within the week and by the second week I could knead and bake an entire loaf of bread with my left hand. So I guess you will find a way to make it work. It sounds like you really love your swimming. Syd
