Bright-eyed and bushy-tailed

So far, I've had two doses of each of the antibiotics, and I can hardly believe how much better I feel. For one thing, my appetite is back. I no longer have that feeling of, "Oh god, NOT food", which I regard as highly wrong. Gone is the low-grade fever and malaise.

The foot is still sensitive, naturally, but between painkillers and something to address the infection, it isn't as bad as*, like Mama used to say. The fact is, at this point, it isn't the toe that hurts, it's everything else, in particular my heel. I'm hoping that by Thursday or Friday, I'll be able to drive. I have overdue library books.

I'm working on a modest crossover...not sure where I'm going with it, yet, but it's a sign that my brain is functioning again. Yay!

* Like Sunday, when I was excruciatingly aware of how many bones there are in a foot, and how, for the most part, they have two ends which grind against other bones.

Hooray for drugs! I'm glad you're on the mend.

btw, if the doctor gave you one of those receipt-thingies saying what was done, the library may wave the fine since you couldn't drive. It's worth a try. Or, you could just show them your foot. :P

It's worth a try.

Thanks for your support!

Maybe you walked on your heel more without realizing it. I hope that clears up in a day or two.

Showing the library your receipt from the doc is a good idea. Maybe they'll knock down the fine instead of playing Library Cops. *hugs*

I'm sure I've been walking unnaturally without realizing it. After all, if your toe hurts, what else is there? And there's been over-all swelling, which the doc commented on. But yay, the meds are helping!

SO glad you're feeling better. Abx are like a miracle when there's bacteria involved, aren't they?

I'll say! I've got my phone set up with reminders so I'll take everything as scheduled (or as needed, in the case of the painkillers). I don't want any set-backs!
