This Little Piggy Stayed Home

[kerravonsen]

Well, I saw my doctor again today, and he is puzzled. Or maybe I should say he continues to be puzzled. Even though my symptoms are like plantar fasciitis, what with pinpointing the exact place where my heel hurts the most, it is very strange that it came on suddenly and acutely like it did. Now I'm starting to wonder if I just didn't notice...? On the other hand, I did mention this time that I have been suffering from... fatigue for a couple of months after I got the flu. I was assuming that maybe the fatigue was a contributor to the situation -- tiredness makes one vulnerable after all -- but another possibility -- which caused my doctor to order another blood test and a urine sample -- could be that the fatigue is an indicator of something else wrong, maybe an infection of some sort. I am also to have an x-ray and ultrasound done to the offending foot (maybe tomorrow or the day after); that should give more data about the physical state of my foot, more than just poking it can give. But anyway, he is puzzled because it isn't improving like he'd hoped. I'm off work for another week (though my project leader is emailing me work to do -- ah the joys of the internet).

However it is nice to have it all in the doctor's hands and out of mine. I was worrying myself too much over the weekend, driving my mother nuts.

G,day Kathryn,tried putting in my yahoo u.name&p.word,it didn't like it so I'll have to find out how to do it properly instead of pretending to be anomynous?!!We'll be thinking of you,praying for you with this frustrating foot-hope you're not getting too fed up with immobility.Sort of good news with the monitor-task #2 suceeded except it's given us a screen with an annoying 1" border all the way around it,so things either come up tiny and hard on the eyes or simply don't fit on the screen.We'll ring up and bug you for help some evening.Suggestion-does your current time of immobility give you a chance to have time for doing the "something creative" we were talking about on the phone?Love,Sandra.

Hi Sandra!
Glad you managed to wend your way here.
No, you're anonymous because you aren't a LiveJournal user. You can become a LiveJournal user by being invited, or by buying an account.

Hmmm, if you've got a screen with a 1" border around it, I wouldn't exactly call that success... I suggest task #3 anyway.

My current immobility doesn't really let me do "something creative" because I'm actually supposed to be doing work for Work on my laptop, when I'm not hobbling or resting. Me finally admitting me very tired.
