I am having a rough day. My foot has been really painful. I saw my podiatrist on Monday and we have scheduled surgery for the 17th of April. After surgery he says I cannot walk on it for 4 weeks. That is going to be really tough. We did talk about his trying to fashion some kind of boot that I can put some weight on without it affecting the heel.
I ran a couple of short errands on Tuesday and My foot has been killing me since. I lost it today. I am not a weeper, I wonder if I am PMS but when the Pharmacy said they did not have record of requesting my Anti-inflammatory from my Dr, (which on Tuesday they said they had but had not heard) I burst out crying. They faxed over the request right away and I will try again tomorrow to pick it up. I have been crying on and off since (about 5 hours ago) I think I am just worn down from the pain in my foot. I had to cancel some errands I wanted to run and had to cancel my apt with the Nutritionist this afternoon. My Podiatrist office happened to call right after I limped in the door from the Pharmacy and I cried on the phone. She put the Dr. on and he was concerned because I am always smiling and happy. He's going to send me a RX from some Vicodin. I have some left from my knee surgery. I will also probably go in on Monday and he's going to "cast" it (temporary, removable) to get my by until surgery.
This weekend will be "interesting" We have a rehearsal and dinner on Friday and a Wedding on Saturday (my DH is the officiating Pastor) I can't wear my tennies with a nice dress. I won't be wearing dress shoes, that's for sure, but I don't know how I will do in my sandals. I just better not burst into tears from the pain then!!!!!
Didn't get to weigh in today at the Endo's office (where the Nutritionist has her classes) I think I am up slightly over last week. Another reason to think that I may be PMS.
Ok, so much for the whining! Cheese anyone????
I have some gals showing up here in about 45 min for a Bible study. I have cried off all my makeup but I have no desire to walk up my stairs to redo it. Fortunately I don't have "black eyes", it's just gone!!!! I'm rolling around the place on my sewing chair (except my door into the bathroom is so narrow it doesn't fit)
I have so much I wanted to get done before surgery, not sure I can get any of it done!!!
Hope everyone is have a much better day than I am.
