Well, 2 broken toes…I’m sorry, but glad that your nail seems unscathed. Did they tape your toes? Or splint?
Good for you for getting through the MRI–I had a 30 minute one a few weeks ago and had to do some breathing exercises to not freak out… They did give me headphones and “some nice music to listen to!”, so I had 20-second bursts of Joni Mitchell or Sting or Steely Dan between the bouts of loudness.

I guess you posted while I was typing and I did not notice at that time as I was about to crash, So no competing in 30 yard dashes but beyond that I have never had any special instructions for any of mine and the case noted I never knew it was broken till what was probably years later.
OTH I don’t think MRIs were invented at the time either

I haven’t actually talked to the doctor yet, so I dunno if they’ll recommend taping, a boot or nothing. The third toe isn’t broken, but it has some soft tissue damage so the thought of taping the three together doesn’t thrill me. 
The podiatrist sites seem to recommend a boot, so that might be what I ask for. Yeah, the MRIs were even rougher for me because I had a head/brain scan and a neck scan, so not even a few seconds of Joni Mitchell. I’m sure she would have made it so much better.

When I broke my big toe as a kid, we taped it, so I knew what to do when I broke one again a few years ago. It comes down to what is comfortable (I never bothered going to see anyone for the three I have broken in the last few years) - I could never live with a boot. I tend to not wear shoes a lot…
