So four days ago i stubbed my to eSO HARD at work that it completely ripped my toenail off my big toe... it hurt like a mother fucker and was bleeding so bad. i went to the dr the next day and thank god neither my big toe or my second toe was broken but i thought that they would be for sure. they were just so swollen that i couldn't wiggle them...
so anyways, it still hurts a lot, i'm walking funny, so i definitely won't be at work for a while... my nail bed is completely exposed and is in the process of healing. my roommate works at a homeopathic health store and gave me a tea trea oil cream for wounds to put on it to keep it clear of anything and help the skin heal.
what else should i be doing to help it heal faster? has anyone else done this?
and most importantly, how long do you thnk it will be until i can WORK again?? I know its going to take 6-12 months for the toenail to grow back in, but I only have about 2 months worth of bills saved up and dancing is my only job... :/
any advice is really appreciated...

is to let it heal, I know its a pain. you can polish on top of the skin, the actual nail bed will hold polish BUT it must be removed ASAP.
