It's 3am Thursday morning. My body is working off a cortisone shot from Wednesday morning. I always forget to tell the doctor of this side effect of those shots. Of course if I need it, I guess I will survive a night without sleep.
The house is asleep. Quiet. Peaceful. I think I like 3am in the morning.
My blood pressure pills needed to be renewed, so I went to see my doctor yesterday morning. While I was waiting for him to come into the examining room I started to think about different things to ask him. Things that I have been living with for so long, that I forget about them as being abnormal.
So...I have a pain in my right foot all the time that really hurts when I walk. Although it also aches when just sitting. The doctor took an x-ray and I have a bone spur sticking into the muscle on the bottom of my foot. (Plantar Fascia). It is also inflamed. No wonder it hurts when I walk. Thus the shot!!!
If the foot didn't heal, he sadly stated he might have to inject straight into the foot. I told him about the shot I just had last month in my right eye. So I figure I can take a shot in the foot! We'll see.
I mentioned a few other worries and that led to peeing in a cup and blood being drawn. Looking for signs of onset diabetes. Will have to wait for test results to address that.
When discussing the blood pressure meds, he wanted to increase the dose of one of the pills. But he was worried about the possible side effects. One of them being depression. I laughed and told him if I didn't have depression now, I would never get it!! But in the end, he just told me to take one in the morning and one at night.
I guess I had a good visit. It got me out of the house for a few hours, ha ha.
