My Luck II
Well, still have the broken toe, and I think that all the walking around that I am doing is just exacerbating things. In fact, I am ready to leave work early and go to the worker's comp doctor to get a few days off of work so that I can finally give it the rest and attention that it needs. I have been working this whole time since it happened. The doctors all tell me that it's okay for me to do a 'sit down' job, but what they fail to realize is that I have to walk around quite a bit. I don't have a printer at my desk, so that requires me getting up and walking to a community printer, and I have to walk quite a distance to the elevators and up and down stairs to get to my car. No dice on being able to park on a level in the parking garage which has no stairs. That would require a DMV visit to get a temporary handicap placard, and that's not going to happen any time soon. And these fractures do take forever to heal, that's the sucky part. But I think a few days off to nurse my toe might do some good. It's bothering me more and more lately. And the fact that I accidentally bumped it against the side of my tub didn't help either. I think I just need to lay low for a few days and nurse it. Elevate it, and throw some ice on it as much as possible. No word from my boss yet when I told her that by email that I might be leaving early to do just that, and that I might be off of work for a few days. We'll see what she says. I don't like having a broken toe any more than she likes me having to take time off of work. It's just a sucky fact of life. Shit happens.
