Just shoot me!

 

I woke up before seven yesterday and my blood sugar had dropped down way too low overnight. Stumbling into the bathroom, I sat down and my toilet seat cracked in half! I went to my primary doctor which was relatively productive, then I went to the dentist, who pulled my tooth and put me on an antibiotic for an infection in the bone.

Wearing a face mask always throws me a little off balance. You'd think it was covering my eyes instead of my nose and mouth. I tripped when I got out of the dentist's chair and she grabbed my arm. 

"Are you okay" She asked.

"I just can't see." I said.

That got a pretty radical response until she realized I just meant I was clumsy with a mask on. I paid the dentist and came home, but my big toe which has gout from the nephrologist's insistence on me taking Lasix was so painful, even after a whole course of methylprednisolone, that I made an appointment with my podiatrist!

I am in a cast for several weeks with the hope of wearing some kind of special shoe after that!

I am not asking what next!

Instead I am laughing. What else could I do?
