Dumb things

-
This morning as I was setting up a strategy board for one of the directors, I had to use a step stool since I am only 5'6" (short lil' thing, I am!). There I was putting up powerpoint slides up on this board and sticking them with pushpins and making sure they are somewhat even when one of the pins dropped on the ground. So I had to get down to retrieve this escape convict of a pushpin when I stepped on the lower step (at least I thought it was) and missed it entirely, twisting my ankle falling to the floor. I am glad no one saw my "graceful" fall to the ground but boy howdy, does my ankle hurt. First, I finish up my pinups and then gimp back to my seat thankfully no one is around. I let it rest for an hour or so and I had to get up to use the facilities. Wasn't too bad. Finished what I had to do and sat back down and went to stretch, yeah that HURT LIKE HELL! I sprained my ankle, the same one I used to sprain when I was on Track and Field in High School. Now I have to wonder if heels (or in my case, a wedge type shoe) will be wise for my wedding. I suppose I could try it out since 3 other people are having their weddings before me.

It aches like hell and the pain shoots up my calf. *cry* Funny thing is that I took all precaution to make sure I don't hurt myself and it comes down to a pushpin falling to the floor. I know I have to elevate it when I get home. Trying my best at work to do that as well. It doesn't look too swollen but I don't really stare at my feet all day.

I know pain.... and this is beyond it! :(

Dermatologist

OK here's the poop on the Dermi today.  I saw Dr. Henderson and she is a resident at HF.  I went to see a dermi because of the previous post of my sores on my scalp.   She looked me over and was very concerned with the one I have on top of my scalp.  It's deep and she thought it could turn into a cancerous problem.  I did tell her that is where my previous dermi did the punch biopsy.  Dr. H brought in another dr for a second opinion and that doctor stated that if that wound wasn't closed up by stitches and I have lupus, the wound might not have closed up and healed properly.  So in essence, it made Dr. H feel better that it was the area of the punch biopsy.   So today, as I had a hunch, I was injected with cortisone.  That is something I never will forget but she was a lot better than my previous dermi.  She was gentle and gave me some breaks.  I had injections done to the side areas and my crater on top.  The cortisone ...

Ah the life of a lupie!  So much fun! A few days ago, I left eye started to hurt and I thought it was just typical crappy weather problem.  That started Wednesday.  Long story short... it puffed out and I had a fever of 101. Not a pretty picture at all.  It was a lot worse than this.  Just hated  how I looked and felt, especially with the holidays coming around and the noise. Anywho, went to the family doctor today and she gave me antibiotics (augmentin) and boy those are HUGE pills!  Plus she recommended a saline flush so why not.  So now I'm home and just wanted to update my blog since I haven't in some time.  I have been writing in my journal of my own personal thoughts but I like to keep my medical stuff on here so I can refer back. Ok, I'm going to lay down and sleep this pain off.
