Thanks for relaying the experience. Non-stick dressing and bandage to
cover the wound was the first thing I did. I also rode my bike 20 miles
this morning (26 F, light snow, heavy fog) -- there was some discomfort
in my cycling shoes at first, but no real pain.

I prefer athletic tape to a bandage. It wraps up the toe and supports it
all. Almost like a pseudo toenail, it keeps everything in place. We use tape
a lot in Oz, to put muscles and joints back in place, support various bits,
move kneecaps.
