It’s a long story involving Target, crutches, urgent care, ice, painkillers, and now me in bed with the laptop.
I hurt my right foot quite badly yesterday while shopping for Halloween clearance items. I smacked the top, bony part into the corner of the checkout counter because I was in a hurry. Throughout the day the pain increased to the point I couldn’t put any pressure on it. The top of my foot is swollen so much I cannot wear regular shoes, not that I am going anywhere.
According to the urgent care doctor, I didn’t break any of those pencil-thin bones. I have a deep foot contusion, however. It isn’t pretty.
When I woke up this morning, I honestly thought my foot would be much better—and nobody ever accuses me of being an optimist. I got out of bed and got right back in. I cannot walk without terribly sharp pain.
That’s all. Just crying on your shoulders. Keeping my ugly foot elevated.
Being lame.
Ouch, ouch, ouch. I hope everyone at your house is waiting on you hand and foot (pun intended). Feel better!

Get well soon. If I could, I would fetch you Halloween candy and lots of soda to dull the pain.

OUCH! I hope your foot feels better soon!
Darn Halloween candy (you did, at least, get some clearance Halloween candy out of all this, right?).

I did get good deals. I got a costume for Beatrix to wear next year—she’ll be a ballerina.
I got cake mix, chocolate marshmallows, an autumn wreath, two autumn duck figurines, two amber glass votive candle holders, a gold decorative leaf-shaped plate, a big bag of snack sized chips for the kids’ lunches, two shirts for Beatrix and a pair of black stretch pants with purple and orange polka dots, a shirt for Ryley, a shirt for Aidan, a bag of fruit snacks. I also got a little fushia end table for Aidan’s room at 75% off.
And a Coke.
Well then, it was worth it, right? So sorry!!

Oh dear! Hope your little foot mends quickly. And I hope the rest of the household is generous and kind and loving to you!
There is no better store to injure yourself in.
(we just bought one of those little tables)
Rest up and hopefully someone will bring you meals in bed, or at least candy.

The mother of my best friend in jr high had the same medical advice for me anytime I hurt myself, and I offer it here to you:
Try putting a tourniquet around your neck.
(yeah. I never tried it either.)

I could do that, Veronica, but then who would lie in bed and use the upstairs phone to call my husband downstairs to bug him for warmed up cheese enchiladas and the power cord for the laptop?
He needs me, so no tourniquet today.
So jealous! Bed rest! I could do without intense pain though. Maybe I could fake it.

Oh ouch!! I hope it feels better soon.
Believe it or not, I forgot to visit Target’s Halloween section when I was there today. What was I thinking??
Let me know if I can bring you anything.

Poor girl. Use it as a chance to get caught up on some rest. You deserve it. (The rest, not the pain!)
Oh dear!! I’m so sorry you’re lame, in the traditional sense. You are definitely NOT lame in the nouveau sense.

That sounds painful. Take it easy (or as easy as a mother can)
