I'm in a bit of a situation here. The injury to my foot, if anything, has gotten worse in the 12 days since it initially happened (Wow. It's been that long? Fuck.) Today is no exception- the swelling has increased to the point where I've had to loosen my shoe up. Again. If that continues, I'll be running out of laces soon. The pain has also been staying on about the same level, if not increasing. And due to either my system getting used to the Vicodin, or other factors, the drugs are not helping much with the pain any longer.

We all know what the advice here should be. Same advice I'd give to anyone else in this kind of situation: "Go see your doctor."

Problem is, I'm not sure I can. Thanks to work's wonderful policy, I can't call in right now without losing my job. And between getting an appointment set up, and probably having to go do X-rays at another location the same day, I'd probably need to take the entire day away from work. Fuck. Fucking Fucking Fuck.

Update- Work sent me home after I was there for an hour, that way it can't be counted against me. Right now, I'm waiting until Steph gets free from work and then I'll be heading over to an urgent care provider, as our regular doctor's office is currently suffering from a power outage.

Finally saw an urgent care center this evening. Got another round of x-rays done, which again, showed no break of any kind, though they're sending it on to the radiologists for a more detailed looksee. Got two new prescriptions, according to one friend who knows her pharmacopoeia, this stuff should be able to desensitize a skinned elephant. I may be looking into getting a gimp-stick this weekend, if finances allow and the pain continues.

Other than that, situation normal. And the drugs are taking hold. Think I may go nod off now......
