I seem to have an extra kid for the night. There were 2 extras, but 1 got bored (after being here for less than 20 mins) and went home. I think the one that left saw this as a chance to get away from his younger brother for a night.

I'm at work today... by myself. :D

Sing it for me, Celine Dion!

Obsessing, thanks for asking.

Wednesday or Thursday of last week, I started noticing some pain in my right foot, second toe, first joint inside the body of the foot. How did I injure it? No clue. Not bad, I thought, at first. By Friday, people were beginning to ask why I was limping. No big thing, sez I. I just needed to get off it and the four day weekend coming would be just the ticket.

Saturday, some swelling, not much. So I tried not to walk around much. Roller Coaster Tycoon got more play from me that day than it has in some time.

Sunday, huge swelling. My foot was at least half again bigger than it's normal size. No pain, oddly, but the swelling also included my ankle and part of the way up my calf. So I spend most of the day flat of my back with my feet up, not a particularly unpleasant position if that's what I want to be doing, but when forced not so enjoyable.

Today, the swelling has gone down in the calf and ankle, but the foot is still swollen and the tenderness in the toe joint is back. I called my GP, but it seems his office is enjoying a four day weekend too. I left a message with their service.

What do I do if my doc tells me to get off that foot and stay off it?

"But, Doc... Buddy... You don't understand. I'm going to Disneyland next weekend and this foot's going with me!":D

Do you think the swelling has anything to do with an insect bite or something? Like an allergic reaction to something that bit you? My ankle was swollen the other day and I found out that I was bit by a spider or something when I was walking Frodo in the park. It all went away...



Ha ha. If you have to stay off of your foot then you need a wheelchair at Disneyland! Yeehaw! GD and Lisa can take turns pushing you. :D

Could be, I suppose. But there are no marks and the original pain was inside the body of the foot. No pain anywhere on the skin, which is what I'd expect from a bite.

*shudder* That's not how I've been picturing next weekend. If a wheelchair is required, I want one of those motorized speed buggies. KaChow! :evil:

:shrug: Hmmm. Oh well. That was just a thought about the swelling. I'm no doctor. :D

Someone should start a SMcS Disneyland visit thread. I want pictures and stories and reporting of all LoT shenaniganery.

Oh, Scrooge, NOOO!! You must feel better by the weekend.

I will push you around in a wheelchair if need be.....

Hope you're okay:)

We'll all take turns pushing!

That's right... :D
