Written a couple days ago but forgot to actually post....

Boy oh boy oh boy. What a swell past couple of days. I went to the emergency orthopedic to see about these ridiculous blisters. Yep, I thought I had an infection. Dr. Melissa cut off the dead skin so it could start to heal. On my left foot two little toes and the big toe have no skin on the underside as well as a sizable patch beneath the knuckle of the big toe. On the right side, again three toes, but a long three inch stretch From the top of the toenail down the side of my foot. The second layer of skin is red and looks like it’s bloody when in fact, it’s not. Nasty shit continues to ooze slightly, soaking the gauze and the ace bandage on top of it all. I was hoping this would just be a slight inconvenience, but it looks like it’s going to take a few weeks. I have an appointment on Tuesday to go to the wound clinic. Nobody has ever said wound clinic in a positive way. This fucks up my therapy for the next couple weeks. It’s hard to learn how to walk when you have no skin on the bottom of your feet. I was going to post a photo or two, but I’m sure it would violate LJ standards.

Dr. Melissa asked me what I thought of my primary care provider Dr. Irvin. He’s OK I guess. Nothing great about him but nothing sucks. She said she was reading my prior records and told me I was “a medically complex“ person. The translation is there’s a bunch of fucked up shit that Dr. Irvin seemed to forget to mention. My D3 levels are startling low. There’s some issue with my hemoglobin, my diabetes is up and down sideways, and I am constantly running out of breath,,,,likely a cardiovascular issue. I can see how you can forget these little minor things as they don’t end up to a whole hell of a lot. You know other than them killing me and shit.

I swear to God, Rod and Todd if it ain’t one thing it’s another. The Universe has been fucking with me for three years. I wish I knew What I had done in a former life to deserve this circus. Whatever it is, it must’ve been a doozy..

Well, that's a big fat pile o'suck, but at least Dr Melissa was on it. I always hesitate to recommend medical stuff to Americans in case it's horrifically expensive, but if possible, it would be good to get some vitamin K2 to take with the D3. K2 boosts D3 absorption and also makes sure calcium goes into your bones rather than less ideal places like your arteries. Some D3 comes with K2 already baked in.

I don't know, the fact that this is happening to you makes me think the universe doesn't punish in a linear fashion.
