So tomorrow I have two doctor’s appointments. Just one apparently wouldn’t do. The first one is about swelling in my legs and feet. They’ve gone insane. Started middle of last week I think. Through some miracle I got in with my doctor tomorrow. It’s gotten to the point where it really hurts. Everything that is swollen is incredibly dry. Embarrassingly dry. I figured that I needed concrete information for her, so I measured things. Last night, my left ankle was 11.5 inches and my right was 12. This morning, they were both 10. That’s a lot of swelling. It’s no wonder it hurts. I just hope she can come up with some solution. It’s not as bad as it was a couple of weeks, around the 10th. They were about 14 inches then, but they went back down and I thought all was fine. Surely bodies are not supposed to do such things.<\/p>\n
The second doctor’s appointment I’m just going to get in trouble because I didn’t do what I was supposed to and I don’t know if I can. That one I don’t know how I’m going to endure. I hate that I screw up so much. Really I just gave up and quite trying. Maybe if I don’t think about it I can pretend I don’t have to do it.<\/p>\n
That’s apparently what I did after work. Since I have to show my feet to the first doctor and all… and since they’re still in horrible shape from C&W (blisters still peeling and all), I went and got a pedicure. My bloated piggies are the color of Aphrodite’s Pink Nightie. The poor guy who had to do it. It’s a miracle he didn’t vomit. All the loose skin from the blisters and whatnot. Bleh. I tipped well.<\/p>\n
