Most of us live with some amount of toe overlap. Mine is pretty bad, but I've ridden with worse. Toe up or toe down as you turn and you can usually wiggle enough room to miss the wheel, or at least just graze it a bit. Shorter cranks will help and usually eliminate the problem on road conversions, but on track bikes you'll often still have overlap even with 165s. Usually striking the pedal on the ground as you turn is a more real and dangerous problem. Good luck in your recovery. Throw those straps on and ride with a sling.
