DAYS 5 & 6; PAIN..and More PAIN!!!

I used to hear about Arthritis and how debilitating it can be.  Boy...I now know how true it is.

The past few days...  My ankle has shut Me down.  Literally...shut...Me...down.

The pain?  Almost unbearable.  The only time I have relief...is when I'm laying down with it slightly propped up.  Standing on it???  Oh...soooo not a good thing. 

It got soooo bad...  I had to break out the crutches.  Now...imagine attempting to cook a meal...hopping abound on crutches.  So....cooking wasn't really an option.  Coffee and toast are keeping Me fed right now.

OTC  Arthritis meds.... not working.  Called the advice nurse..  She tells Me to take the meds and stay off the foot.  Yeah...doing that..but nothing is easing the pain.

So....what does the body do when the pain gets too great?????

Sleep.

Day 5,  I slept all day...all night...except to use the potty. 

Today; Day 6;  The pain is easing off a bit.  Down from two crutches to one.  The swelling has gone down a bit (I took a pic..and trust Me...that is a lot smaller than yesterday)  My appetite is coming back slowly. 

Been laying her watching the Indiana Jones Marathon on USA.  Woo hooo.

Anypain,  This has been day 5 and 6.  The days...of Pain.  Unbelieveable, Amazing, Crazy...pain.

At one point...had I had a hacksaw..........

Well....gonna finish Me coffee (thank God for the bean) and back to bed.

Its been cold and rainy all day...  not good.  not good at all.

Better days are ahead??? 

I sure hope so.
