OUCH!!

My foot woke me up about 5 am saying OUCH!!! I thought it was a cramp but then figured out it wasn't when I moved it around and got a cramp. DOUBLE OUCH. Then I woke up enough to realize it felt like gout but it wasn't in the usual gout-y place. I got up and downed a magic gout pill and did get a little more sleep.

Walking isn't that much fun but swimming was fine as long as I didn't push off with hurty foot. It's very weird. Gout usually lands in the joint of my big toe and it gets all swollen, red and hot. This feels like Gout but doesn't look like it. Hopefully, the gout pills will chase it away soon. And there is nowhere I absolutely have to go so I can baby it until it gets better. And who took the ice pack thing out of the freezer??? And where did they put it? Grrrrr.

Better...

My foot is way better. It still hurts when I walk on it but not nearly as much and it doesn't hurt at all when I'm not walking on it. I think this episode may not be the fatal one. Whew.

I got frisky and took the car to the grocery store. I did not have enough ice cream to get through the weekend which would have been hard but not undoable. But, then, I realized I didn't have enough bagels either. So... to the store I went.

I went up to the Beacon Hill Red Apple which is a little market nto too far from here. I used to shop there all the time. It's handy and cute and they have a very surprising selection of merchandise from such a small store. Plus, there's a library branch a block away. I'd forgotten what a nice place it is. It was fun to see the same cashiers still there.

Transmitter #3 arrived and is in play. And... so far, so good. The test will be a full 24 hours. Fingers are crossed.

I also got my new inhaler. It's the same as one I have been using for years but half the dose. I have enough of the old one. I think I'm going to alternate them for a few days if only to ease the transition psychologically. I want this to work.

My thermostat says that it is 88 degrees on my terrace (which is now, and has been for a few hours, in the shade). It also says that inside it is 75 degrees and I am so very grateful. Between the heat and my hurt-y foot, there will be no 20 minute walk today. I do think, maybe, I'll go down and get the mail.
