Okay, now that the title probably steered most who wouldn't want to hear about such a subject, I can now freely believe that my life likes to go on a downward spiral as I'm reminded of my past mistakes of listening to my family and not believing and being able to take care of myself.
So, I had an ingrown toenail taken out yesterday (wed) at my family doctor because it wasn't getting any better when I had a member of my family take it out. The family member did a pretty decent job. It's just that because my toe had been squashed many times in the past and present, and the fact that my families advice of getting rid of athletes foot in the past were terrible, the doctor had to cut about half of my toenail just to make sure that it was gone. OH, and that toe was so bad that it had gotten infected. The rest that the doctor had taken out was sort of the rest that was just growing weird. Hence my past mistakes.
I have antibiotics but no pain medicine. I've been taking over the counter cheap ibuprofen and store brand extra strength tylenol (not the same time, just one pain killer than the other 6 hours later) as the assistant had told me to do. Sadly though I had taken a three hour nap or more yesterday during the day, plus the pain that my toe is causing me has kept me up all night. This is the second time that I've stayed up all night due to the pain and taking a nap during the day.
I really don't have the money at the moment to pay them because of past events. I'm still going to try and give at least enough to where I'll only have money for just in case I need to buy food. Going back today to get my toe cleaned. Which the stuff they used makes my toe to have the appearance as though it were dead. Soo... that was a little funny.
Total bill should be over 300 dollars. Which I thought was a bit much until I saw how much trouble they go through just make it as painless as a family doctor could do. I mean, she cut my toe nail OFF and I didn't even feel it! And the only pain was when they had injected me with the anesthesia and for almost the rest of the day my toe was so numb I was feeling pretty relieved... until night fell and I found out that the tylenol that we had was out of date by 8 months or so. So I had to get up around the time the pain was coming back and went with my mom to the store to buy something that wasn't out of date. Though why she bought extra strength seems a bit odd. I'll have to ask about that when I get to the doctor today.
Yesterday was the first day I actually spent more time off my foot with it elevated than the past couple of days that I was trying to stay off it. Either ways, hopefully I don't end up more sick than what they're saying. I'm tired of getting sick just about every 1-2 weeks and soon after I'm done with another thing. It'd be nice if I could get my life back together, but that doesn't seem possible. And my family is becoming more irritable to my whining and bad jokes. My brothers have pretty much given up on me and... well overall my entire family is fed up with who I am now. Sometimes they joke about it, other times they complain about it because of how much of a burden or inconvenience I've become to them. I'm sort of tired of asking for help to where it's affecting my best judgment nowadays.
Due to this event, I would figure that my work will probably be thinking of firing me... if not I'll be in deep trouble given my past "minor" medical problems... sucks how all of my hours and money I could have made this week can't be made due to my past choices and mistakes. Whats even worse is how my work doesn't accept doctors notes at all. Only physical capacity forms. Which I think if I can I'll swing by and grab one just in case.
