I worry a lot about these things. I just want to make sure I did nothing to my foot. I hope the cast protects the foot when I bump it into things.

Hello.
Thanks for writing again.
A cast is hard enough to protect you from minor external injuries. No need to worry. The numbness will also improve as the swelling reduces and it all heals.
Hope my answer is helpful.
