bloodsong1Kudos to whomever gets THAT reference.
Saw the doc Thursday morning. Not my normal doc, but she was hawt. My foot was visibly swollen, but not ballooned out like a broken bone. Some mild discoloration, but not dark enough to suggest any form of clotting. They took an Xray to check for stress fractures.
Turns out, I DO have a stress fracture, near the ankle, but it looked at least 2 weeks old and healing nicely, so Doc K didn't think it was the source of my pain. Most likely it is strained/sprained tendons and/or ligaments. She wrapped it up, gave me a script for painkillers (as the OTC stuff was still doing bumpkis) and sent me back to work.
I didn't take any pain meds until I got home, roughly 8:45 last night, long story, not for here. I fell into bed around 10:45 and slept well.
This morning I waited until I was into work before I popped another one, just to be safe. It's been about an hour and I am starting to melt. This is not of the good. I shall have to wait until the end of the day to take another one. Boo. Hiss.
