Stupid Foot

I now am the proud owner of a pair of crutches.  Yup the foot hurt that bad that I made a doctor appointment.  Sighs, there goes my four day weekend.

I have a medial right foot strain.  I might have something broken as well since they badly wanted xrays.  Because I'm not yet pregnant, I ovulated on Wednesday, I agreed to the xrays.

Its a DONSA here on post and that means that even though I had xrays done my PCM won't get a look at them until Tuesday.  Oh Joy! 

J is handling this quite well and is determined to only be half a yell away from me.  Its unusual that he is willing to wait on me hand and foot but I'll take it because right now hobbling about to get a glass of water is not fun.  I haven't been on crutches since 7th grade.  I've been in a walking cast twice but it didn't call for crutches.

No I didn't get much sleep last night, not so much the insomnia being the reason but the pain from the weight of the covers on the bed.  I was whining quite a bit about how much it hurt.  No, still haven't taken pain medicine.  They wanted to give me NSAIDS but I have a bad stomach so its just acetaminophen for me. 

I started my progesterone this morning.  So I'll be the gimp with the leaky cootchie, you know the endometrin slime.  I just can't believe how much I had to fight with my RE about it.  First clue, big duh, my periods are short so I'm always low on progesterone how about doing some blood work dumb *ss.  Of course they won't.  So that is why I had to argue with them to get put on it.

Maybe if I feel more up to hobbling about today I'll go shopping.  I need to refill the fridge, condiments while nice to have aren't real food in my book.

  1. Try not to hobble too much. I'm curious to see what the results of those Xrays are.

  2. Well maybe you can decorate your crutches with designs. I see that is very popular for a cast :) Seriously though, I hope your foot gets better soon.

    1. Naw I'm good with how they look for now. Its only two weeks I'll be on them. The very same two weeks I'll be on the two week wait too!

  3. Man, that sucks that they make you wait so long for x-ray results! Hope it's not broken though and even if it is, that it mends quickly. Sorry you're in so much pain.

    It really does suck that you have to fight some doctors so much on progesterone support. So frustrating.

    1. They called me while I was out yesterday with the information. Usually they don't call unless its bad news and it wasn't good news this time either.

  4. That sucks! Hopefully the X-rays will reveal something that is easy to treat. In the meantime, try to stay off your feet.

    1. Sort of easy to treat. I'll blog about it this long weekend most likely.

    1. LOL. I'm actually going to be on the crutches for my full two week wait. I supposed it would be smart of me to put my foot up but I want to spend as much time with J before he leaves.
