My right foot is really quite angry. The forefoot and toes are visibly swollen. I told Bear today I was going to need crutches before we got to the doctor, as I can hardly put weight on it. In the house, I roll my foot inward and just touch the outer margin and part of the heel. This is very bad for my ankle, but it at least gets me to and from bed and bathroom. I can't stand to cook or anything like that at all. The left foot is bearing more weight than usual, and as that ankle is also bad, it is not particularly happy.
Plus, just to add to the joy, I am having a really severe period. Severe as in, "If my tubes weren't tied, I'd wonder if" type of period. I've cramped and passed clots for the last two and a half days. And did I mention I'm almost out of pain pills? Yeah.
So with that going on, of course the State would send us a sternly worded letter that Bear owes $1200 in taxes. This is some form of a mistake, as that is about what he would pay if he didn't have taxes withheld from his paycheck, which of course he does. Fortunately we have an accountant do our taxes, so we called him and are waiting for a callback. I'm not too deeply worried about it. But the refund would have been something like a miracle about now. This all would be much easier to bear with food in the freezer, crutches, a bottle full of pain pills, and lots of nice hot baths. I am trying really hard not to complain and bitch, as there's not much that can be done til the tenth when we get paid again.
I do not like dealing with pain like this. It is depressing. I think going to bed early is a very good idea. Possibly with some yoga to settle me down. I will say that Downward Facing Dog really does seem to do something for cramps. I can't hold it for long, but even a quick pass through the pose shuts my uterus up for a little while in confusion and it just is a vague sort of wrongness and blah, not the racking cramps. So that is something.
