I slept for about six hours before I woke up again to pain. I took some more meds and went back to sleep a few hours later. I don’t know why it took almost two hours for it to work. Usually within an hour I am zonked. Anyways, I am still hurting and swollen but not as much as it was last night. I am kind of in a pissed/depressed mood because I can’t go anywhere. I just came back from going to Walgreens and think that was too much.
A friend of mine called yesterday to invite me to dinner Monday night but I don’t think I will be able to make it if my foot is not better. I won’t put myself in the position of not being able to walk the distance I have to. Plus Monday I need to go with my father to get his blood work done again. They need to repeat some values as his liver function is compromised. I won’t go into detail as to why.
I really wanted to get my hair cut today but there is no way I can walk down the street. Just going to the store has caused me tremendous pain. I don’t see my primary until next Friday. I hope that this clears up by then, whatever it is.
When I did wake up later this afternoon, I woke up feeling dizzy. I thought it was because I had not eaten or drank anything all day so had something to eat and drink. Didn’t help. I think I might go back to bed. I don’t know why I feel like I am hung over. I think it might just be that I am dehydrated and once I drink some water, I will be ok. I really need to stay off my foot. This so sucks. I mean normally my foot always hurts but this is different. It feels like I am stepping on something but it could just be that my foot is so swollen that is what I am stepping on. It’s just so frustrating. And because my foot has nerve damage, I can’t decipher what is really going on with my foot. There is no break in the skin, I didn’t bang it, nor did I do anything out of the ordinary to cause this. It might have been that I stepped wrong when I took my little tumble on the stairs on Monday but I mostly banged my hip. But I am going to just treat it like a sprain and just ice and elevate it.
I still have my stupid menses. This is going on three weeks now. I am just so frustrated and pissed off. Sadly there is nothing I can do about it. I just have to let it run its course. I stopped taking the pill this week hoping that would speed things up but it hasn’t. I am hoping it goes away in the next few days because I am planning on restarting the pill on Sunday.
I made a couple of web appointments for ophthalmology. Funny thing is they wanted you to pick a doctor but how can you pick a doctor when you don’t know any of them?? So I picked one out of the twenty or so and hope that it is the one that can figure out my problem. Now I just have to wait for the office to call me back. I hate the waiting game.
