Not ms - vent. My foot is getting sorer & I am wearing the dam boot all day from when I get up to bed time now. I was trying to have some time out of it in a slipper which is a boot type with sole, but can't even walk in that without ##@@ etc Last straw was I had slippers on & stood up from loo - I have an over seat so the bars etc, head first into the wall with more expletives. After that wont walk in slippers except with walker & that is a very careful shuffle, mainly to let lady in morning for shower help 2 times a week.
Add to that the next issue. Yesterday I had a sunspot (hopefully) removed from hand near wrist so I think 3 stitches in that. Lucky wasn't big. It is starting to hurt more now & I don't get them out till next week. No swimming or physio while I got the stitches in.
Next one - Dr asked on Saturday visit what is the sore on your nose & how long has it been there. It has been there for about 3 months (right on the tip of nose), changing around with scabs then itchy & off, bleeding, scabs etc. Well he used the scanner -body scanner they have now which they can use to see if freckles, sores etc are ok or need attention & the nose one looked even worse & quite a bit bigger which he explained is underneath. Anyway, gp's don't touch face so I have to go to a plastic surgeon WTF like I needed that.
He will give me a referral next week when he has checked with the other Dr's in the practice to find a good one local or at least in the basic area.
Wondering if he can fix anything else about my nose (like chop it off & open the sinuses so I can breathe better).
I just hope it is nothing & same for hand.
Of course my left side is weak as can be, my thinking & memory just doesn't happen & I keep making errors on silly things like saying we will do something then totally forgetting about it & telling hubby I have told him things when I only tell him half if that. Full sentences verbal are hard too. Can write it but takes time & who knows if this is in right order to make sense or not. Blame right eye blur & shut too, due for botox in couple of weeks.
Hope I made sense & sorry for long rant.

I had another crappy day today with both feet numb. Left leg is totally dead & dragging no matter how much I try to move better & the boot is driving me nuts with the skin starting to get real bad under it - I get excema & the skin is dry now.
Just to add to the bucket my tummy went bad today & kept feeling like I needed to go but just pain - hope diverticular disease is not going to join in.
Hug around chest is really hurting to breathe too.
Think I have got too much now for sure.
Got to have lung test Friday to check my breathing which I am sure will show more problems.
Anyway closing computer as can't focus well.
Take care of yourselves
