Swollen feet – any advice?

I haven't made it there yet. 😁 Things have quieted down quite a bit lately, which usually tells me I’ve got some breathing room, but it hasn't gone completely silent just yet... so maybe that's my sign that I really need to go... :2up:

I should know for sure sometime next week. Hopefully.

Man, I actually just called them and was about to place an order. *drools*
Last time, they gave me a specific appointment, and then I ended up sitting around for half an hour just waiting for them to get their act together. Now, apparently, they’ve scrapped that whole system. The lady on the phone told me they aren't doing appointments anymore—she basically said I should just show up whenever and grab whatever I can. Pretty clever move on her part, right?
If that's how it works, then I'll probably be pulling up to her door around 7 on Tuesday (don't quote me on that though, I'm still trying to work up the nerve... 😁) hopefully I won't be twenty minutes late... 😁

Bring it on! *chuckles*

😁

So, I guess it’s better for you, Jack Harris3... 🙂

Kerusho,

Please, just go see a doctor! Seriously, you know how things went for me—first the ringing in my ears, and then I nearly ended up in the ER. 🙄

Next week. Honestly, nothing short of death could ruin my weekend at this point. 😁
My feet are more or less fine now, but everything else has started acting up.
It’s just like owning an old clunker. Once things start breaking down like this, you can try to patch it up, but it's usually better to just cut your losses and buy a new one.

(If any of this gets back to my husband, I am going to absolutely lose it on him. Kenneth Hernandez67 told me how to handle it. 😁)

But since I’m terrified of doctors, I’ll probably end up being a total Soraja, and nobody will believe me when it happens. 😁

Hehe, I’m just picturing them burying me in a T-shirt with the IMF logo on it... 😁😁😁
Kenneth Hernandez67, wearing Junior's sneakers, kicks some dirt onto the grave and yells, "Go to hell! You're better off dead than paying for coffee!"
allegra: "And I told her to go to the doctor! I specifically told her!"
Tija tosses a wreath shaped like a breast into the grave: "Catch ya later, babe!"
Andrew Anderson66: "Damn, my blood pressure is hitting 80/60 just like hers was! 😱"
mellowwalker22 pours apple cider over the grave...
Solaris performs CPR on some little doll three graves away...
Thomas Mendoza5, hands in his pockets: "Who cares about Pesica? Anyone got a joint?"

Pes, you're being totally unserious right now.
It’s been like two weeks already, and I guess you could've figured out what was going on and maybe even started treating it by now.
Honestly, I’d give you a good smack with a switch if you were closer...

I know. 😢
And you're right about that. But I'm actually out of town for the long weekend, and I am not about to let this ruin my trip.
If I have to crash and burn—whatever. 😁
But next week, I’m going to try to force myself to go. Like, I’ll literally have to make myself do it...
Usually, I don't even bother seeing a doctor unless someone practically drags me to the clinic by my arm...
I'm scared, honestly. And besides that, I'm pretty convinced that the more often you deal with them, the more they just mess with your head. I hope the doctors here can forgive me for thinking that. 😁
I feel like I was just talking nonsense earlier, and now I'm just sitting here at home waiting for something bad to happen. Ugh, what an idiot.

Pes... do I seriously need to slide into your DMs again to get through to you?
Come on, give me a paw and promise me you’re actually going to see the doctor next week.

Kerusho, stop messing around, seriously... you know exactly what I've been going through 🙄

Jack Harris3, I’m right there with you when it comes to doctors... But honestly, you already know what I'm going to say here 😁

Maybe if you could just find yourself a hot doctor, things would look up? 😁 It might make the whole experience a lot easier 🙂

Good grief, you guys! Can't you all just be as forgetful as I am? :2up:
From tomorrow night through Sunday, I’m going to be out of town. On Monday, I can't take my dog anywhere, so I'm stuck, and then I'm heading out again on Tuesday.
It’s either that, or I shouldn't be online at all, though honestly, under those conditions, I think being able to log on makes everything a bit easier to handle... 😁😁😁
Ladies, don't worry about it. You can see that even Kenneth Hernandez67 didn't end up killing anyone, even after she gave it a shot. 😁

I had issues with my ears and ended up needing abdominal surgery.

With your feet swelling up like that, you might want to worry about what's going on inside your head instead, haha 😉 😁

Don't get me wrong, but my father-in-law used to deal with some minor acid reflux after meals, and now he's basically missing half his internal organs.

It’s wild how those totally harmless little symptoms can actually be hiding such massive health issues.

Kenneth Hernandez67 said:Your feet might swell up, but maybe you should worry about what's going on in that head of yours instead... haha 😉 😁

Based on what? 😕 😁

Honestly, you guys don't scare me.
Out of all those heavy things we talked about, if I had to pick one, I'd go with my heart. 😁
I’d much rather have that give out than anything else. 😁
Plus, it would actually solve my problem of wanting to skip old age entirely. When I get to that point, I just want to be able to get a little worked up or run a few laps around the block... 😁
Whew, I better get going before you guys kill me and ruin the fun with talk of heart attacks, because you really shouldn't mess around with stuff like that. But hey, since it's me talking, I doubt anyone's taking offense... 😁

Come on, Person, try to be a little kinder to yourself and take care, if not for anything else, then at least for us..

🙂
It’s not that I’m hating my life so much that I want to check out early... it’s actually the exact opposite of that.
Honestly, I might actually lose it if I live to be 90. There’s just no way I can handle the physical stuff in real life anymore—if I take a tumble down the stairs, there's no climbing back up. And don't even get me started on tech; I can't even see the fonts on my computer unless I crank them up to size 72, and yet I still want to be out there causing trouble all over the world... So, if anyone is wishing me a long life, they clearly have a grudge against me.😁
Everything will turn out fine, but seriously...🙂

Hey Jack Harris3, by the time you hit 90, genetic engineering might be so advanced you'll probably look like a cat..
I guess they'll have replaced all your organs by then

Maybe it’s just an allergy? I actually went through something similar once, but I guess it's better not to play guessing games with your health—you don't want to deal with doctors being all intense about it if you can help it. 😁 Jack Harris3 bit me😁

"My blood pressure is always bottoming out."

If you’re getting those cramps, it’s probably just bad circulation combined with low BP—it leads straight to swollen legs. Happens to me every single time I’m on my feet too long or when the heat kicks in (I've always had low pressure and, well, I'm basically just skin and bones). I asked my doctor about it once, and he basically told me to just lie down whenever possible or prop my feet up. Apparently, for people with low BP, gravity hits way harder than it does for everyone else, so the blood just pools in your lower half. My mom thought his advice was some weird, outdated nonsense, but honestly? The guy knows what he's talking about.

😁 lol; I’d personally hand you a steak and a massive lighter—what are you even smoking?

Jack Harris3 said:little guy's out here treating his wounds with apple cider vinegar...

😁 😁 😁 LOL

Anyway:

Person; seriously, get over yourself... You've spent so much time obsessing over your hair that you could've hit the doctor three times by now... Don't make me come down to... what's the word... and drag you to the clinic myself.

Person; if you don't go to the doctor, we're calling an emergency meeting and showing up at your house; see how you like that. Period. 😉 👋
