It's impossible to re-wrap the toes in the morning. I do try with just sticky gauze but a few minutes on the elliptical and I have to stop to remove it because it's sliding under my foot inside my sock. I do my workout without any wrapping and the foot is okay, but does ache when I walk or step up or down. My pull-ups are back to normal though so that's a relief. Everything else feels normal too, except for push-ups because I briefly forget to put all my weight on my big toe instead of across all the toes.
I even get through my DB Shoulder routine without any issues except for an occasional twinge when I flex my foot too much. Once I get home, I find a new roll of self-sticking gauze and wrap four of my toes and then secure it by wrapping the entire foot. It's not quite as comfortable as when the doc did it, but it's better support for the bruised digit.
I was told at the doc's that I was the third patient they'd seen this month with a wood stacking injury. Another woman had the same issue with a log bouncing out of the bin and onto her foot. She broke her index toe. A fellow had a cord of wood drop and he broke his foot. I feel very lucky indeed.
