cpolkcouldn't sleep last night, so I stayed up on the machine for a while, dimly realizing that my feet feel uncomfortable. but whatever, they're feet, eh.
and then I stand up, and I can't move my ankle quite right, and so I look down, and my feet --
the left one is swollen and somehow dark. there's a fine red pinpoint rash skeckled over the instep. the toes are faintly purplish, and squashed looking. My ankle is so swollen that I can't see the bone.
So of course I freak out and rush to the medical clinic in the middle of the night. Could be a blood clot, they say. Oh great, just what I need to go with the vague heart problems that nobody can quite diagnose.
the blood test is negative. I'm supposed to do an emergency ultrasound sometime this week. if they find one, I'm in the hospital.
I don't think I can afford that.
