This morning when I woke up, and it was morning because it was 8 o’clock because we had haircut appointments later today and then we were going to see the lights with Sean, which is 100% a nostalgic thing for me! I remember taking him when he was three back when I could still drive… so he humors me and goes with me. With us because my mom drives.
My left toes are hurting me, even after getting new shoes. This morning, my Mom took my socks off and inspected my toes. She told me that my big toe looks red and she pressed it. She said it was non-Blanche able.
Well, that sucks!!!
Non-blanchable is a term we learned from the visiting nurse when I had my pressure sores on my heels. Which killed me from April until November!!! She told us that if pressure sores do not turn white when you press them, that’s evidence of further nerve damage:
My Mom got me out of bed and asked me if she wanted me to call and make up a podiatry appointment for me. Waking up as hard for me and I just said, “Yes.”
I had asked my Internist to refer me to podiatry after I saw her in November. My toe started feeling funny then and I got fitted for new shoes on December 9. My brother Zelled me money that day and Thursday, my Mom ordered them for me.
They arrived on Sunday and I have worn them outside twice. I won’t leave the house until January 20. That’s because my Mom made podiatry appointment for that day. I have a haircut on the 21st and a bone density scan on the 22nd.
I have just finished the most brutal year of doctors appointment of my life! I just added a third van rental for January. No, I will have to leave the house for three days in a row and that is going to wreak havoc on me and I am not looking forward to it at all! I’m trying to recover from this past year with my head still spinning.!!!
This evening when we were leaving the light show, I told my Mom that I don’t think next year will be a thing for us because it’s getting harder for me to see…
in three minutes, I will be 10 days away from 25 years I’ve been diagnosed with MS. I’ve had too much to deal with this year and it’s looking like next year’s going to be more of the same. I asked my Mom if I’m going to lose my toe. And she shrugged and said that it’s not black yet and we have an appointment on the books.
This sucks!!! #ItSucksToSuck!!! #MSsucks!!! 😒😒😒…
