bookofmirrorsSo, um, yeah... In my current personal life upheaval, I forgot to make the LJ post about my foot and finger.
Apparently, neither of them are broken. The foot only *looked* broken in the x-ray from my PCP, because it was at a weird angle. They took LOTS of different angles at Resurgens. And the finger just plain wasn't broken. Motherfucker's still sore, though, but much better.
The foot/ankle problem is, as I had originally thought, arthritis. Osteoarthritis, which I'm glad to know, 'cause it got diagnosed years ago with arthritis, but I could never remember which kind, and the treatments are different for each. So, now I know. (Osteoarthritis is also degenerative joint disease.) Anyway, apparently, I don't have much joint space in some areas, hence the pain. Surgery isn't really indicated, and the guy said that, even if it were, ankle surgery isn't particularly good yet. If the time comes in the future that I really need it, presumably the technology will be better, and it'll be worth the knife. So, he gave me a bunch of Celebrex... which, now that I think of it, I haven't taken, and don't even know where the samples are, or the prescription is.
Did I mention I don't do well with daily medications? Also why I haven't gotten around to filling my Topamax and Vytorin prescriptions, that I'm also supposed to be taking daily (or so). I'll, um... get around to it someday. It's only been a few months since I got those 'scripts.
So, anyway, that's the update on my medical condition.
In unrelated news, I got to meet the lovelybeansidhe today. (Correct me on that animal if you don't like it...) She rocked. :) She's also actually seen fornorald in person recently, proving that he's not just an automated computer program who occassionally responds to IMs. :)
Anyway, yes, I still have serious posts to make, but I work lots, so I'll get to it later. For now, bed.
