Saw the doctor Thursday and they scheduled an ultra sound for Friday to eliminate the possibility of a blood clot. I had them in my lungs in 1985. Terrifying stuff.. fortunately they didn't find any. Another good thing is that Achilles tendon is fine. It's the muscles from the Sciatic Nerve down to and including my toes in my left leg. There was a longer word for it but the doctor believes it is a "steroid myopathy" which is basically painful muscles as a reaction to steroids (the prednisone I just got off of). I have until this Thursday to be at least 50% better or I must have an MRI as the pain is also spreading to the right side but not nearly as extreme. I am thinking it would be smart to do it anyway as this is more pain than even tough me can take much longer. If we find the problem we can fix it.
I must get back to working but standing right now is a killer. I want to be well for the Christmas shoppers. Funny, how small my other issues are to me at the moment. Discomfort from not eating well or cramping and choking seems small compared to the amount of non-stop pain I am in. There is no laying, sitting or standing that eases it. Oh, listen to me complain. Wait! I hated the fever and aches of the chest cold worse. I am NOT a fever person. I am NOT a throw up person. I would force myself to not throw up and be sick a day longer to avoid it. Ick. So, there are worse things than hurting so much. See, mentally, I feel better already.
I will keep you posted; sorry I am back to more body drama.
