OMG WTF HORRIBLE FOOT PAIN -___-

Before I even get into this, no, it has nothing to do with the surgery lol :)

So, for quite a few years now I get these random "attacks" in my left or right foot (usually my left).  It happens every 3-6 months, lasts for a few days.  It is, to say the least, the worst pain I have ever felt - truly debilitating.  I went to my Doctor and she referred me to a podiatrist.  They diagnosed me with this thing called "Morton's Neuropathy".  Basically it is this nerve condition affecting the left three toes on the foot (specifically the nerves, tendons, etc.) causing really bad pain.  For a while that's what I thought it was, but now the pain is also on the top of the foot on the big toe as well.  It travels up my calf a little bit too.  In any event, it sucks ass, and I called my doctor today to have her prescribe some other medication since the anti-inflammatories I have for it I can't use anymore (since I had GBS).  When did I call her?  6 hours ago.  Has she called me back yet?  No, of course not.  Now, they are closed, which is just FANTASTIC.

I am literally stranded in the Den.  I got up, hobbled in here (barely), sat down, and have been in front of the computer since 9AM.  I can't get up to even go to the bathroom - that's how bad it hurts.  When Adam gets home he's going to give me the last of the liquid pain meds I had from surgery to see if that lets me walk.  If not, I'm off to the hospital to night to find out what can be done to fix this.  It is quite horrific, I assure you.

Got a call from my Mom today - she went home sick, and apparently threw up a few times.  The Dr. thinks it's a reaction to the pain meds she took for her arthritis today (a new kind of pain med - she's had some issues with it since she got it).  So, she took the rest of today and tomorrow off.  She sounded really crappy when I talked to her earlier, but she's doing better now, resting and trying to recover.  Poor thing :(  Love you Momma! <3

In the world of eating, things are great :)  I went to Cooper's Hawk the other day with a friend who is going to have Lap-Band surgery in a few weeks.  I had some of their lobster bisque (just a little bit - maybe 1/4 of a cup- since it's pretty rich).  I also had three jumbo sea scallops, lightly seared and then broiled.  OMG fantastic.  I ate two of them at dinner and the third about 2.5 hours later for a snack :).  In any event, things are going well on the eating front, and I'm plugging along like always :).  I think pizza for dinner tonight perhaps ;-)

Hugs to all!
