Psyche's blog: "Proceed With Caution...."

Hello friends, have a few new things going on and thought id share them. As most of you know ive had a few major surgeries over this last year on my right ankle blah blah blah. Im tired of dealing with it about as much as im sure you're tired of hearing about me dealing with it lol. Anyway since i am back to walking mode i decided it was time to get back to work, i do have 2 lil girls to take care of.

 I received the phone call Tuesday for an interview and was hired on the spot as well as started that same night. Wendsday night i noticed i was having a lot of pain in my ankle but figured it was due from not using it and was normal and as the night goes on the bottom of my foot felt like it was on fire and so about 45 mins before im due to get off i take my shoe off to discover my sock is soaked in blood and as i pull it off..gah! the incision on the bottom of my foot has ripped open. Well they immediately tell me to leave and go to the emergency room although me being the kind of worker i am insisted i finish out my shift but due to company liability they couldnt allow me to stay. So i go to the emergency thinking they would just stitch me up but i suppose that would just be too easy ( after all this is me we are talking about.) Upon looking at my ankle they noticed that it was extremely swollen more than normal for the kind of operation i had and it was also bright red and extremely hot to the touch. The dr. decides to do some x-rays and blood tests and after sitting in that damn emergency room which seemed like forever he comes in to give me some pretty bad news. Apparently i have fluid build up around my bone AND i have an occult joint infection which if not taken care of immediately could result in the loss of my leg. They immediately stick an iv in my arm and hook up some antibiotics and while doing this they inject some dilaudid in that iv which had me feelin all kinds of happy and then decide to push me over the edge and gave me a pain shot in the ass HAH! After all that and and a stitched up foot at 4am i finally was told i could leave BUT im not to go back to work until i see my specialist and have this infection taken care of and also im not to put any more pressure on my foot until i get my stitches out in 7 days. They dont know me very well apparently.

Yesterday morning i call my specialist in springfeild but they were in a retreat so i had to leave a detailed message with the nurse and wait for the return call. I also had to be at work at 4 and since i hadnt heard from the doc yet i said ferk it and i went ahead and went to work last night. Yes it hurt like hell and i know im not suppose to be walking on this foot but i just got this job and im not going to lose it, plus my babys birthday is may 3rd and mommy is gonna get her what she asked for. Well 1st thing this morning the dr. finally called me back and i have to be there at 1:45 and i have to say im a little nervous. I foresee very long needles and more iv antibiotic treatments ahead and im scared he is going to say i cant work BUT i go in at 6 tonight and i will be there like im supposed to be unless by chance he admits me in which case im fucked and i pray to god this doesnt effect my new job.

Anyway this is whats going on with me and i ask that you please keep me in your thoughts and prayers to whomever you pray too that im not admitted and this can be taken care of with just antibiotics.

Thanks 4 Reading
