insert curse word here

just came back from the post office, arm load full of threats to sue me from the loan company - as if i needed this on top of the depression I'm under at the moment when I fall on the stairs. I hit my back on the cement stairs and then landed on my ankle.

Been sitting here ten minutes debating it, knowing it's no mere sprain because I'm totally incapable of inversion. Damn it, it's my RIGHT foot. That means I won't be able to drive. Fine. Going to the hospital now. Don't ask me how I'll handle the 5 inches of snow heading my way.

Nothing Broken

Well nine x-rays and a few hours later, nothing's broken. I DO have a traumatized lateral collateral ligments and a effusion of the mid-tarsal region (not to mention massive spurs up the achilles tendon, off the plantar calcaneus, medial dislocation of the 5th mpj and an atavistic medial cuneiform but those are ancillary discoveries). The upshot of all this doctor talk? A bad lateral ankle sprain AND a mid-foot sprain. I'm suppsed to be on crutches. I said no because of my hand. They put me on ultram which I thought I'd get tomorrow then realized I won't be going in to work tomorrow to make photocopies because I'm not permitted to stairwalk and there is NO elevator in the building and I would need to get to the third floor. I AM in a compression dressing and air cast.

It was so cool though, all the x-rays are on line and you can cone done and clarifying things. It is so kick ass. I would have killed for this when I was doing podiatry. (and yet another doctor wants out. Every doctor I meet wants to quit.) Best part is I USUALLY have on my boots and this wouldn't have happened in them but I was only going to get food out of the garage and I had on my shoes.

And look here comes that five inches of snow.

ETA - I forgot to mention the one anatomy class on Thursday was canceled. ANd they really didn't want me to come in for micro. I need that money damn it. Wonder if my boss knows that class is now gone

Hey

There's a video that I don't need in the air cast box AND an ice pack which I do need (it's out in the garage icing) AND better yet a rubber exercise band to rehab my ankle with. why the hell is it lime green.

Though with the way the I'm feeling, I'm likely to find another use for it. The depression just hit like a runaway truck looking at those loans and with a half dozen people yelling at me all the time. (not to much I have to cancel my therapy appt with the psychiatrist 'cause I dont have the money) I'm suddenly back with the why am I even bothering feeling.

Getting paranoid my job will be gone again. I love how there was a class yesterday and today it's gone. sigh. Well I'd better hobble out and get that ice pack.
