Happy Fucking New Year!

It's barely two hours old and 2008 sucks already...

Around 11:30 or so, the foot I messed up started to get really sore. When I went to head upstairs at about 1:00, I noticed that I had a really hard time walking. I could barely make it *to* the stairs let alone up them. Then, I took off my sock and noticed that "the impact area" from the canned peaches was swollen...a lot. When we got home, doomsey found my pair of crutches and I'm using that to get around. Taking the weight off of it helps. It wasn't like that when doomsey and I had left for the party. It was only a small bump...and by that time, the accident had happened two hours ago. That and I was actually able to get around on it with only a little limp. The only thing I can think of is that I did something to aggravate it and didn't realize it.

I'm worried. From all of the swelling, I'm starting to think that I have a chipped or broken bone. I don't know. I'm going to put ice on it tonight and see if it gets any better. If not, then I guess I'm making a trip to the doctor on Wednesday...

I know I'm going to get shot for saying this, but it's *really* not a good idea to put a can of peaches horizontally on top of something so that it rolls off and hits random people on the foot...

Edit: Well...I just had a crying jag. I haven't been able to get a break since early July with sprained hamstrings, sprained necks, sore backs, and now an injured foot. God dammit! I HAVE HAD ENOUGH!!!

I feel so sorry for you. I truly hope that it can be counted as a lst backslash from 2007 and that 2008 will be much better for you :)

Ouch. Sounds like you should go and see a doc. I hope it'll be better soon though!

Elevate the injured part, above your heart. Also, if you have any wrap anywhere, wrap it up good, to help force the fluid out. It's the fluid that's causing the pain. Ice is good. So is ibuprofen, at least 600mg (unless you are allergic). After a few hours, do get up and move some. Staying stationary isn't good either. Switch off between having it elevated and moving about. Take it easy, but do try to move at least a little.
