coming to terms, or not

[saffronhare]

I'm slowly coming to terms with the realization that my foot is going to need a Medical Opinion and perhaps some Intervention. This is the one we brutalized in Hapkideth class last week. For a few days, it seemed to be following a general curve of improvement, to the point were on Sunday I was very encouraged about it being all better quite soon, really.

Except that yesterday it was harder to walk again. I couldn't put on shoes -- had to wear slippers (snazzy ones with sturdy soles that one could maybe wear to the grocery store at 2 a.m., but still) -- and felt like a rock was stuck under the outside edge of the ball of my foot. Today, it's even MORE hurty and I almost cried at the notion of trying to get real shoes on again. That's not right.

I have an appointment with the doc on Monday for my Sinuses of Doom, but I don't know if I want to wait that long to get it checked out. This is very discouraging and I'm sure my judgment is impaired by persistent pain and a certain amount of dontwanna. WTF, feet.

So if it's not fractured and it's not dislocated, it's.... what? Traumatic??

It's very, very pretty is what it is. :) The diagnosis is "contusion of the left foot."

I got all sparkly and relieved when I realized nothing horrible was wrong and he was all WHOA! So I'm only going to ONE taekwondo class tonight -- forms. So there won't be any sparring, running, or leaping about. Just stances.

When I reported this in a phone call to diermuid after the appointment, I'm pretty sure he was struggling not to fall over with laughter. But he agreed this was a sensible approach. HA.
