After chain smoking for about an hour I was finally calm enough to go to the doctor. They took x-rays and confirmed it’s a sprain but now it hurts even worse because they made me move it all about. I pick up a brace tomorrow morning before I go the hardware store. The doc also tried to prescribe me Loritab, which I think it way excessive, which I declined (because POISON) and the nurse acted like I was a recovering addict. Okay, then.

Wish I could go to sleep now but there’s so much more to pack up.

It’s named “Queen Bee”, wow.

Get your mom to look at it then, if its an issue of going to a hospital you should wrap it up and have it up for a bit to see if any swelling goes down first, it could just be a sprain of some sort…
She poked at it but said there’s nothing she could do without an x-ray. I’m sending her out for a brace or something and will use my weird old man cane to try to walk. I’ve been begging her to bring up one of the creepy wheelchairs she hoards in her attic, I just knew I’d be accosted by plants eventually! I’m just gonna go scoot around the floor now moving boxes…

:( please go to the doctor! If it heals misaligned it can cause all sorts of other problems…
Well, my mother is a doctor…so that counts right?? I wish I could go but right now I’m on the verge of a panic attack, a strange person touching my foot would send me into a bad place and I would prefer to be at home when I start freaking out. Pain is more appealing than public humiliation. I swear if it gets much worse I’ll let my mother drug me and take me in!

Wow, no. I can longer walk. PRETTY SURE MY FOOT IS BROKEN. PRETTY SURE I’M STILL NOT GOING TO THE DOCTOR. Someone please just come over and hit me hard enough with a brick to knock me out for a few days because I have to clear 4 rooms of furniture and boxes and clear out all the kitchen cabinets and CLEAN THE TOILETS before Wednesday morning. *sob*

I just tripped on a bloody tuft of grass and heard the most god awful crack in my foot. I’m screaming for a few minutes RIGHT NEXT to the car my mom is sitting in, ignoring me, before the neighbors run over after realizing the screaming was a human and not a angry goose. Their words…I sound like an angry goose. I don’t know how my mother didn’t hear my screaming from three feet away but all I could think was that I would be there half an hour before she finally thought to get out of the car to get the drink I was bringing her. And that I was going to lose my foot because there’s no way I could go to the hospital without waxing my legs first.
