40/56 and sunny today. Waiting on the next front come through Wed night.

I got to checkout our new free standing ER yesterday afternoon. The inside of my right foot and ankle began swelling on Fri morning. I didn’t think much of it and my movement was not impeded. By Sat afternoon I could not put any weight on the foot or walk. The swelling had increased and was centralized on the inside of the foot and ankle only. To the best of my knowledge, I had not injured my foot in any manner. My wife was out of town, and I decided if it persisted that I would go to the ER on Sun after she returned.

On Sun morning I still can’t put any weight on the foot and the swelling had increased. The wife arrives around noon and shortly there after I head to the ER. Total time spend on the ER experience including travel time was two hours (shocker). It turns out it was a flare up of arthritis and bone spurs which I have never had a problem with, in my feet until now. I was told to ice and stay off my feet for a couple of days and to use crutches if I had to move around. THe PA advised that this will probably return in the future (great, something to look forward to).

I guess this is another certification of being a full-blown FOG (and it could always be worse).

Weird. I have had two surgeries due to bone spurs (heel and shoulder) but never had any swelling as a symptom. Hope the flair up subsides quickly.

Waz up?

Waiting for the hot tub/jacuzzi to heat up. 52F right now on its way to 62F. Supposed to drop into the upper 30's tonight, for the first time this winter. Got a doctor appointment at 2pm. Nothing more today.

We really just need some cold nights to sweeten up the citrus growing all over central Florida.

Good luck Cheno, that's tough on the body...

At the office today getting things done since it's kind of quiet right now. I have whatever Ebola the kids brought home from day care two weeks ago. No, it's not Covid, I have taken 3000 rapid tests and just got another PCR one so my littlest can go back to her quarantined classroom on Thursday. A teacher brought covid in for show and tell and that sent the whole classroom into lockdown for a week...

Getting tired of this crap.

Sounds like Covid-19. Maybe you’re not shoving that q-tip far enough up your nose.

Even though not CDC recommended many use 1 swab to swab their nose and throat. The results at first glance appear to be much more accurate. With the way Omicron works that makes sense to me.

Frank, we'll get you a Urethra covid 19 test kit.
