Almost sure I broke my foot.

.

How?  That I can't tell you.  I was wearing leg weights yesterday.  Ten pounds on each leg.  And, walking in them was exceptionally clumsy.  Could I have clipped a concrete, or lathe wall?  Maybe, but you would think I would have noticed.  And, I was wearing stout boots.  Did I drop something on it?  Maybe, but the damaged area seems more like a very deeply stubbed toe.  Did I kick in my sleep?  Could have been.  But, on the rare times I do such things, I wake up hurting.

Very strange.  If I had access to maskless medical service, I would go in.  As is, I can't breath in there with a mask on.  And they won't see me without donning one.  I have tried a number of ways to get past the mask, but none work.  So... I just have to suffer through it.  Wouldn't take their pain pills, wouldn't mind a foot brace, and checkups.  It's... pretty awful.  I guess I just have to limp around, and hope it heals on it's own.  Thank you, Biden, and V.A.  Assholes.

The pain is pretty serious.  As mentioned, though, I wouldn't use stronger than what I have at home.  Rather have pain than addiction.  Look around at what they have done to people.  I did take a nap, hoping it would help.  Nope.  Not a bit.  Did it get worse?  I don't think so.  It may feel worse, but that is just pain over time.  Limping much more cautiously.

Did put on a medium pressure compression sock, and an oversock... just cotton but good enough in the house, and shoes over that.  Haven't tied them, yet.  Not sure I can take it.  Will try that shortly.  I almost bet Michael would have had advice.  But I wouldn't bring him back for that!  Especially if he truly is in a better place.  And, yeah, purgatory is a better place, if... with a price to pay on the way.  A very pleasant price, when all is said and done.  It's... voluntary, too.  Though if you get close enough to understand, it... really isn't a choice anymore.

Well... on with the day.  Will tie shoes up for a bit.  Then game for a while.  Then get a shower in, maybe soak that foot in a bin, in the shower, with epsom salt?  Perhaps just sitting there, for a while, soaking.

Oh, did notice that Amazon isn't the best price for even all groceries these days.  Last I looked, the square boxes of kosher salt, at amazon, was in the $8-10 range.  At the store, they were less than $4.  And even better, lower carb, peanut butter, for occasional use, was about the same price, but in glass.  Much preferred.  I keep trying to get only glass containers, but it isn't always available, at amazon or in the store.  But, yes, I do start comparing prices.  And over several stores.  As with quality.

Though, with two main stores, one closer, sometimes proximity is needed, sometimes I will be farther away anyway.  And, my requests are heard and tended.  So... yes.  Nothing personal, just business.  I am happy, for some things, with both stores.  They are competitive.  Which isn't a bad thing.  I'd love to stick with one store, but... that doesn't always work.  But I will worth with both stores.  I lose out on some of the benefits of buying singly, but... there are advantages, if at a cost, for using both.  As well, it spreads it around a bit more.

Well, on to limping around, grumping about lost peeps, and tending my cat.  Have a good one.  Start sorting your new year.  Be well as well.  Or... go in peace.  Amen.
