Wow, splitting it up the middle sounds nasty. You are the first person I've heard of that actually got a cast for a broken toe. About 15 years ago, I was cleaning out my dad's garage, and dropped a roughly 5 pound capacitor on my foot. Was wearing sneakers, and it broke the big toe. I went to the Dr, and he just said, "Yeah, you broke your toe. Its gonna hurt for a few weeks." You have my sympathies.
