The last few days have been pretty stressful and hectic at work. Worked late when I really needed to be home working on garage sale stuff. I was so busy today that I didn't take pictures of the sale, but we had a decent sale, and I made enough to pay off most of the cat's vet bill. YEAH!
Went to the doctor yesterday morning. I've been having numbness in my right foot - since last fall actually. I'd worn the "walking" shoes like I was supposed to, but it never really got better. The last few days I've had tremendous shooting pain in my big toe (right foot) when I go to bed at night. It feels like needles being shoved into my toe. My doctor is sending me to a podiatrist for the numbness, but says I need to have the toenail removed on my big toe. It's had a fungus under it for 2 years or so. When I went to see him last year he told me the medication is so expensive ($800+) and insurance doesn't cover it. He suggested just waiting for the toenail to fall off, whereas a new one would replace it. Well, that hasn't happened, so he suggests removing the toenail. I am SO not looking forward to that! I have a podiatrist appointment on Monday morning, and he'll give me a second opinion on the nail. CRAP!
