I am on the very last rung of this chain…
I woke up on Sunday … dreams aside, and stretched my body. It felt good for a second, then suddenly everything in me was taken over by pain. It rained hard on Sunday night and my bones reacted accordingly. I won’t drag you through the self-pain-discovery phase of my weekend (as things progressed) but here and now, I’m one miserable kitten.
My right ankle feels broken. I have no way to describe it other than that. I attempt to put weight on it and it not only collapses, it shoots a screaming pain through my body until I let up. If I keep it in the air, near motionless, I get a reprieve from the pain and can only feel the throbbing.
D yelled at me last night to go get an x-ray…said it was really important and that if I didn’t go, he’d drag me. Fair enough then. This morning, however, I’m pleased to report that although my ankle is worse, my knee is now also affected which means that I likely didn’t break anything. If this goes as per norm, the pain will crawl to my knee (already is) then to my hip. Hopefully I won’t have a sciatic flare at the end of the line. My other ankle is acting a little dicey this morning too.
I also got my period this morning, so horrible cramps and diarrhea have been added to the mix, along with an upset tummy I got from eating an apple for breakfast.
Should. Have. Stayed. In. Bed.

I’m so sorry you’re in so much pain. I’m keeping you in my thoughts.
You’re in mine too. Want to crawl under the covers with me? I don’t want to get up anymore.

Sure. I’m actually having nice dreams for once in my life, at least when the neighbors’ dogs aren’t barking at each other all night.
Know you’re doing all the palliative stuff, if there is any that helps. It’s hard to stay objective when there’s such pain.
