Okay, for starters, I have a doctor's appointment. Granted, it isn't til tomorrow afternoon, but I'll live. And, because I've been there previously, it'll "only" cost me $70 instead of $120. It's been a little under three years since I was there last; according to the gal I spoke to, my returning patient status would've "expired" in June....
Even better news, the damned thing drained overnight. I took off my improvised dressing this morning, and it was soaked with...stuff. (The adhesive bandage strips I had didn't begin to cover this thing, so I MacGuyvered something with tissues and ducttape. Worked like a charm.) I stuck it in the shower and washed it off with some antibacterial soap. It feels a little less like my foot was caught in a bear trap, and I'll keep popping antiinflammatories.
Thanks, everybody, for all your love and well wishes! It helped, believe me!

Date: 2012-04-10 01:36 am (UTC)I know people who go to the doctor every time they have to blow their nose, whereas I'm one of those people who either has to be in excruciating pain or bleeding from an artery to seek medical help. It seems to me that the people who go for everything wind up on pills for everything, and sooner or later, they're going to drop dead of side effects. Me, well, I may drop dead too, but without the side effects; instead of spending all my money on scrips, I can indulge in my other vices, like shopping....
Thanks for stopping by!
