Sunday afternoon I went to the ER because my foot was hurting like a sonofabitch...
Saturday night, really late, I took a little spill down the stairs. I thought I was a step lower than I was and went to step on what was presumably the floor. I caught the corner of the bottom step and hit it hard.
Aparently, I've got a tiny hairline fracture on my heel, and ripped the shit out of the tendons on my instep. So no fun...
Can't drive all that well with crutches. Although it'd be funnier than shit to watch someone try. lol. I'm all bummed out now. Jamiebond and I were going to Rocky Horror together. We've been planning it for nearly 2 months! Now, 3 days before the show, I have to call and cancel on her. I feel like shit now.
I was also going to my first appointment with a new psychiatrist, hopefully to get all of my meds sorted out and start taking the RIGHT ones. But I had to reschedule that too. The one appointment I HAVE to make this week is a ER followup with my PCM about my foot. Which means I have to beg my friend Jess to drive me to the RAF base and pray to the gods she isn't busy.
It is my LEFT foot which I hurt, so I figured I'd try to drive anyhow. I sat in my driver's seat last night, just getting a feel for where I'd have to sit and where I could lay my crutches while I drove... It looks like if I can drive at all, I'll definately have to be in some really fun pain. I can't put my foot flat on the ground yet. Everything is at a weird sideways angle. But in order to get in the car and negotiate the peddles, I have to put my foot flat.
My hubby needs a ride to base at like 5am tomorrow too. I'll probably end up making him drive and just trying to make it home in one piece. I was suggesting to him that he use a taxi, but for some reason, he needs the road tax disk for something before he leaves, and of course that needs to stay in the car.
The DR at the ER didn't give me a cast. Aparently when my friend Jess tore the same tendon they gave her an "air cast". I have no clue what that is but it's better than Ace wrap I'm sure. I also got no pain meds. So far, I'm sticking through it with Tylenol, and I have some left-over darvocet if I absolutely need it.
So I'm laid up right now. My mother-in-law is driving me slightly bonkers. She keeps re-organizing and moving everything in my kitchen. I'm not too picky on my dishes, so long as they get put where I usually have them (fat chance). But i'm anally retentive about my laundry. You just DON'T wash denim with Silk. I'm sorry! She washed everything in warm water, so alot of stuff leaked color and shrunk. Stuff I've had for YEARS. My whites didn't get bleached or washed with hot water, so they're dingy. I always wash black clothes seperately, but now half of the socks are grey and the kids' pastel-colored clothes are nasty colors. I've asked her to let ME do the laundry, but if I don't do 19 loads a day, she'll do them for me! *Grrr*
Anywho... I gotta go now. I'll vent/update more later. lol
