in which i declare defeat
maura @ 10:45 pm
So. Today I had a research day, and it was back to the article I got halfway through writing over the summer. But also my leg, which has been hurting when I walk for 10 days now, felt worse. And I finally got tired of it (I come from “walk it off” stock, but that only goes so far). So I fired up the internets* and found a rheumatologist with an opening this afternoon
* Why didn’t I ask my GP, whom you may recall that I love love love, for a recommendation? Because she moved to the suburbs last summer, sniff, and I am so sad that I have yet to find a new one.
Apparently if you are a mostly healthy person you will make a rheumatologist’s day, because he kept making comments about how it’s good to have someone healthy come in every so often, just to make sure the equipment is working.
The verdict is tendinitis (though he took an xray just to be certain), but the mystery remains as to why. I’m definitely clumsy, but I didn’t bump it or have any sort of injury. The dr sent me away with a prescription for an anti-inflammatory and instructions to rest, which of course I’ve been trying to do all along. As you can tell, I am cranky: I haven’t had my mind-clearing, thought-provoking walk to work in over a week!
I’m also incredibly busy, and thinking that I should drop this NaBloPoMo thing this year before I go insane. Or at least move it to the back burner.
Of course, having decided that, I had to blag to tell you. So maybe…

I might be interested if only the meds actually worked, blargh.
God is giving you an excuse to start cultivating a mid-life drug habit. REPENT!
