I’d like to speak with the manager!!!

Okay.

First.

Thank you to everyone who has reached out over the past three days to check on me.  

I’m fine.  

I think.  

I got into bed last night around 2:00 and was worried that as soon as I pulled the covers over me, my knee, ankle and leg would start to hurt.  

There was nothing.  

Nada.  

Zilch.

We turned out the light and the next thing I knew Adam as asking why I set my alarm for my day off. 

I told him and it is true, because I didn’t want to sleep the day away.  

I did however, reset the alarm for 12:30 and did go back to sleep.

I finally got up around 1:00.  

I stepped on the floor only to discover my foot was asleep. 

I shook it.

There was no tingling.

I shook it again.  

No tingling. 

I hobbled into my office.

My foot was numb.  Asleep.  No tingling.  

I showered and it was still numb.

It’s now 12:30 tonight and it’s still numb.  

I can feel the ball of my foot.  I cannot feel anything to the left of my big toe on my left foot.  

Completely numb.

It’s made walking tricky today.

Couple that with intense pain in my knee, my ankle and now my calf feels like I’ve just had the charley horse of all charley horses.  

Today, June 13^th, is the first day since October that I’ve thought I might not make it through the summer with my knee.  

I ran a couple of errands today.

Then met my friends Bob and Jen and Michelle and Lisa to have dinner and see a play.  

Getting in to dinner was a struggle.

Getting up the two flights of stairs to our balcony seats was a struggle.  

Getting down to the restroom after the show was a struggle.  

I’m in my office now.

Sitting still.

My calf is fucking tight.  Like just I ran a marathon tight.

I called the doctor again today.  He is still out of town.

The assistant was about as helpful as he was yesterday.

Fun fact, they still haven’t called in my pain meds.  

They truly want me to believe the numbness in my foot has nothing to do with the bones that I can feel crunching together every time I move my left leg.  

I still have an appointment on Thursday.  I have asked Adam to go with me, as I sometimes don’t advocate for myself as loudly and forcibly as I should.  

In the meantime, I am going to work tomorrow and try to get through the day.

Keep your fingers crossed that I don’t lose feeling in my whole foot and fall down a flight of steps.
