M has a broken toe, he lost his toenail but gained 4 stitches. He also has a prescription for antibiotics and anxiety (the ER doc gave him I'm not sure how much but his anxiety over this is really bad...he was frustrated and anxious about the water running and possibly causing damage and that was a factor in the accident). Right now he is on the couch with his foot elevated and asleep with Duchess asleep on top of him so hopefully he will feel better when he wakes up.
I don't want to turn the water back on until it can get fixed but that will be later this evening.
I've had about 2 hours of sleep and I need to get a nap so I can go and get M's prescriptions when they are ready, I'm tired enough I was trying to figure out why they weren't ready yet...at 8 am when the pharmacy isn't open. But I need to sleep so I feel ok driving over there.
I had to call out of work because no way I can work like this. And I have tomorrow off so I have 2 days I can really dote on M and try to take care of him.
Ouch, send ~ma for quick healing and pain relief.
Today is Fred Pete's birthday. I haven't heard anything from him in some time and hope that he is well. I know he was having a rough time the last time he was around. Sending loving thoughts his way.
Happy Birthday Fred Pete!!
It took a long time for me to finally get some sleep. I work up from a nap about an hour ago and M was pretty much awake. I was going to check on him and see if I could fluff his pillows or get him food and I noticed his bandage seemed bloody. Really really bloody.
It looks like it hasn't stopped bleeding. Just very slow ..and he has had his foot elevated. So we are back at the ER. It's a tiny local ER so we have the same nurse that bandaged him up . Hopefully they can figure this all out .
I hope they can get the proper compression. It's a tricky spot.
So much love and hugs to Scola.
Oh, Tom. It's so hard, but I'm so glad to hear this. Waiting for someone to die is...I don't even know how to finish that sentence. But I'm glad to hear you're feeling a tiny bit of respite.
What Pix said. So many complicated feelings. Adding my love to the pile.
Sj, what do you mean about maybe not seeing a new therapist? Tired of getting yet another therapist up to speed?
Which reminds me, i need to find a psychiatrist here. I made an appointment at a practice that does both psychiatry and pain management, but they canceled the appointment and now I can't get anyone to call me back. I think one of the doctors left.
In more exciting health news, I got my boot off today and can drive. X-rays look good. (For anyone who missed it on fb, I fractured both feet in my second week at my new job, while on the job)
My day was a mild case of frustration -- the work car threw a Check Engine/ODB code that means there's possibly a camshaft timing problem. And the dealership we've used before can't see us before August... 23th???!!! So I'll be seeing if I can get a regular, trusted, mechanic to take a look. Also, if they think it's safe to drive a mile or so over to them...
I'm so tired of this day, we are still waiting for the guys to come and fix the water issue. They were supposed to be here a half hour ago and I just want a shower.
M's got different bandage type on his toe, he is resting with his foot propped up. It looks like the new medicine and bandage are doing the trick because I don't see any blood seeping....don't gouge a chunk of your nail bed out, that is the advice I have from this.
I think all told it was 8 or 9 hours at the ER today. I want a shower so bad.
