On a fun note, today's my Friday. After I get off work, I'm not back until the 5th. I could use the R&R! The minus: possible gout. I've got pain in the stereotypical place and it's building. The... punishment my feet took last night muddied the waters a bit as far as finding an actual cause, but gout is a not-unheard of possibility given my history of them. Also, add in the fact I wasn't able to properly take my allopurinol for a long while (restarted last week) due to logistics issues on the pharmacy's end...
I've taken some ibuprofen for the pain, and I'm debating bringing my cane if it really is an attack. They typically leave me relying on the cane for the duration of the pain. I really hope not!!
