Sunday, my knee went out from under on me. I caught myself, but it has been hurting whenever I move or put pressure on it since. So, yeah, I was like, "Forget that, it will get better eventually." I'm used to injuring joints from sports as a kid, so I don't go unless I literally cannot move around on my own.
Then, the last few days, one eyelid has been hurting me. This morning, I woke up with it significantly swollen, making it blurry for me to see out of that eye. It has been getting worse for three mornings and if it keeps going at this rate, it will swell shut. So, I have to go. I almost decided to put it off another day and see, but if it gets a lot worse, I'm worried about not seeing clearly with driving.
To make things worse, my doctor isn't in today. I have to see another one. I think I've seen her maybe once and she goes REALLY fast with stuff. I need people to take things slow. So, I'm going to have this random woman who I've met once touching on my face. I don't want to be near anybody, much less touched, right now.
I want to cancel the appointment, so I asked them to have the advice nurse call me about what I can do, and she immediately said, "You have to come in for an appointment." I told her I already had one and asked if there was anything else I could do in the meantime (hoping I could make the swelling go down and cancel), but she told me the two things I'm already trying.
I have to watch my nephews for a few hours this morning too. I feel scared and alone right now.
and hope you have got some treatment too.
