Toe Tendonitis


I got one word - Ouch. I got a message that my uncle got a glider chair for me if I'm interested... Of course, I was, estatic to hear they got another one, so I went to check it out and loved it - didn't even sit in it - b/c I've tried it out at a store and also one they aleady have, so when I got home, I put the glider chair in the middle of my room since that was the only place to put it, it became my main chair to sit in ALL THE TIME. Anyways, since it became so cramped b/c of all the craft stations going on all in this one room, I wasn't paying attention about manuvering around in cramped up situations, so there's this one 5-sided wood block seat, that I would use to sit in at one of my work station that was off to the side up against a foldable table, and before you know it, I jammed the lil toes right on the right angle of that block! I tell ya, the pain, it was THE MOST EXCRUCIATING pain I ever felt - it wasn't going away, it took a very long time, it's funny, I ddin't even go, to rub it, or massage it, I just left it - - it was as if it didn't matter... such pain, oh, it'll go away.... kind of thing, just SO strange! By about 8 hours I woke up feeling great, looking forward to my training for volunteering at the Discovery Shop. As I went to put on my sneakers, the most painful feeling in the toes came apparent that this could be serious, I couldn't cancel my appointment since I was looking forward to it, so I kept my schedule as is, training, then grocery, cooking. I found my self limping most of the day, just ignoring the pain. To me, the volunteering semi-training day (since there weren't any donations, nothing for them to show me) went pretty smoothly. It seem kind of dull to me, i'd rather be crafting - ya know, making things in time that just seem to stand still in volunteering on a dead day such as it was on tuesday. Well, anyways, after walking on the foot for some time, after 2 hours of hanging out at the Discovery Shop, Grocery shopping - REALLY QUICKLY - the pain, I got home and the toes just swelled and SO much pressure - even some sciatic going on when the foot is on the side - like during sleep. I diagnose the injury myself, since I recognize it from previous tendonitis.. This would be my 4th time experiencing tendonitis, NOT something I like, nor enjoy, ya know, being temporarily handicapped is tough. I had to cancel my volunteering that I was gonna donate my time for 6 months, just to heal a 3 month injury, can't carry my nephew, whose coming this weekend to celebrate two birthday parties - he's my lift weights person- anyways, lifting a 30 some pound boy gives you great muscle-was really looking forward to lifting and walking. I'll be hanging on Y! answers and helping out on the community Q&A section, do that tile bleach that was scheduled for Wednesday .
