Loss ability to spell the word 'the'

Improper balance..or if drunk ability to blame the loss of said big-toe on falling over

Difficulty in performing the heel-toe technique

One less digit to chop off while trying to get coconut water

if you are female (or CBH) a reduction the monthly spend on nalipolish

possibility of double posting is near certain

[cherrypopper]

Be thankful its your toe and not your toe-lee

Well... from second hand experience ( male cousin) there is little imbalance issues, I guess footwear would be subjective (Velcro strap ones slips off easily)...

[crazybalhead]

I do NOT use nalipolish.

>_<

[Redman]

Slippers might be an issue.
but toe nail maintenance will be faster

[stev]

other than the phantom limb syndrome and the inability to count to twenty.....u will be fine OP

[MaxPower]

Footjobs will be a little challenging..

You ain't go be running/walkin fast for a while

[mark2.0]

Look on the bright side less money for a pedicure,
No stomping of that toe again,
Nobody can't mash that toe
And less toe jam.

Sounds Like a lawnmower accident. Lets see. As stev said there w.ill be the phantom limb feeling. Slight imbalance which your body will compensate for and you will develop a callous at the back of your heel due to the shoe being 'slack' and rubbing against it. After area has healed you can put something soft like memory foam to build up the space.

Immediately following the surgery and for some months following you will have pain due to blood circulation issues you will have to have the foot elevated at all times until it heals.

On the bright side you may not have a toe jam issue any more on that foot.

I speak from first hand experience.

Ohhh... Very important... Try not to accidentally hit your new stump on anything because brother you will see stars and have the wind knocked out of you.

Depends on whether or not that little piggy went to market.

[ruffneck_12]

u go cant do big toe related activities

[De Dragon]

Hop and drop walk, but a guy I knew who'd had his amputated seemed to do everything else just fine. This was a while ago so as far as prosthetics and stuff I'm not sure if there are options for a lost big toe

[L'Audi]
