Physical therapy

So I finally called and made an appointment for my first physical therapy session. It will be this Wednesday at 11am. I do have a feeling that there really isn't much they can do for me as my ankle and foot and toe are still hurting, swollen and tender to touching so how making them hurt even more is beyond me but I will try. I hope this will help but I'm sceptical. Good thing about this is that the place is on my bus route to school so I can get there by bus, they are open from early morning till 7pm so I can fit them into my schedule and don't need anybody to take me. Bad thing about all the doctor's visits and MRI's are that I needed T to take me which meant she had to take a day off from work. It's awesome to spend time with her during to week but less so when it's spent in a doctor's office.

T's cousin Celeste, the original Slowski (comes from a Comcast tv ad with a turtle couple who's last name is Slowski. I called Celeste slowski after she had her knee surgery...look who's laughing now?!) sent me her Doctor's information and I will be seeking a second opinion on my foot. There's been no progress made, the crutches didn't help much, this boot I'm wearing now is not meant for "healing" my foot but for situations where crutches are just too difficult to use and no pain medication, steroids or antibiotics helped so what should I do? None of the Doctor's have done any blood work. If it was a insect/spider bite, would it even show anymore? If it's an infection, it would show on the lab results. X-ray's were perfect. MRI "suggested it could be stress fracture" but being off of it for over a month did nothing to cure it. Now it's "pain in joints". The swelling has moved to my ankle which my doctor said is because of I was walking funny on it for the past 2 months. Awesome. It should hurt, not swell like a balloon! And the skin shedding...and itching. Now it's itching. It wasn't when this first started but sure as hell is now. Icing doesn't really help. Only thing helping with the swelling, temporarily, is elevating it. In the morning when it has been on a pillow for the night, the swelling is down. after walking on it for few it goes up again. I'm so tired of this. I want it to end. Soon there will be rain, snow and ice and then what will I do? Ice skate on the ice with 1 foot and crutches? Cannot wait! This will be fun!

I was being productive today at work. Not so much on working but with doing school stuff. 2 out of 3 school related things I have for this week are done. That's good since tomorrow I can do the third at work and then focus on the election. Everybody who is eligible to vote in USA, please go and vote for Obama.

Later.
