Apparently I sustained an "avulsion fracture of the navicular" several weeks ago after dodging a kitty on the stairs (landing on the edge of the carpet runner and rolling my foot). Bugger didn't hurt at the time, but yesterday I went from twingy, to limping, to ohfuckinggawdthatHURTS in a matter of hours, resulting in a trip to Urgent Care for x-rays and pain control.
Looks like there will be a cast of some sort in my immediate future. Waiting on a call from Podiatry now for an appointment and further information.
Hurray for Vicodin. Doesn't make the pain go away; just wraps it up in heavy cotton batting and puts it in the next room. Which is enough. You know it's there, you can still feel if something's "hurting", but it doesn't quite hurt in a pain way. Mostly. Kinda just makes me sleepy.
Sent a message to work, and people are being great about it. Which is good.
And Peter - he's an angel.
