I fractured the little toe on my left foot for the 3rd time today. I am getting really, really tired of fracturing that toe. Caught it on the leg of a dresser while waking my daughter this morning. It still didn't feel better around 11 AM, so I went to urgent care. It took forever there. I don't know if it was the Adderall wearing off or what, but I felt both manicky (angry, irritated) and panicky and jittery (couldn't sit still), and the wait took forever. My nerves nearly had had it (1 hr. 45 min wait, not counting the drive time there, hitting every stoplight red, missed lunch waiting). Minor fracture, don't have a complicated chipped one like last time where I had to consult an orthopedic surgeon. But because of the breaks (or maybe one break would have done it, I don't know), I will get arthritis in that toe according to the doctor. Good thing it is a minor fracture, just tape, Tylenol, ice as we have bad temporary insurance until H's new work insurance kicks in next month. Break is in a bit of a different location that hurts less than the past 2 have, thankfully. I have gabapentin to use for fibromyalgia pain, and the doctor said that probably would help too for the pain since I cannot take NSAIDs after that perforated ulcer last February. February seems not to be a good month for me medically of late...
I'm also feeling a bit chilled with a slightly sore throat and hope I am not getting sick, especially since my daughter was complaining of feeling like this before school today. This morning was also semester awards day, so I was around a lot of kids. My daughter's 5th grade class level seemed to have more kids absent for rewards day than I ever remember in the past, so I think something is going around the school. Hopefully, in my case, it's just allergies, with the weather changing so fast right now. Need to take a Claritin, I guess.
What a day.
