Misery and Mirth

Broken Stairs

Sunday Morning March 4th I returned home. I received results to my blood tests. My Insulin is still too high but has gone down some, sed rate and c-reactive protein are still high-both markers for active autoimmune illness. I had a slightly elevated liver enzyme, slightly low calcium and sodium. My choleterols and lipids are good again.

I was having a crushing headache again so I laid down and rested until 11-noonish. I then had lunch and went to the grocery store with Mom. I stayed out of basement all day, where my “bed room” resides because it’s quite cold and the stairs are hard to climb specially when not feeling well and the bottom ones where loose and unstable. Though Mom had been up and down the stairs numerous times doing laundry, my bro and elder sister where up and down because his computer is kept down here.

Around 10pm I decided to go downstairs to get on my computer and get ready for bed, just my luck as I got to the 2nd bottom stair it broke out from underneath me and I fell. I didn’t get majorly injured, just some scrapes and bruises but it was quite scary.

Monday march 6th I didn’t do much. I’m sore from my yesterdays fall and still intense feeling pressure and pain in my head.
I nthe morning I helped Dad put replace broken boards in the stairs didn’t do muc helse for the rest of the day.
Was bored and feeling a bit depressed. Just watched tv, read, slept. Watched a home video my sister Amber sent us of her and Aarons vaction in Florida this past Februaury. Was nice to see them.


Monday March 12th, well I thought my incident on the stairs wouldn’t caused me problems but I was wrong. The injury has “reactivated” the lymphadema in my left leg, the foot and ankle have gotten all puffy and the skin stretched so much it hurts. Also the area on my shin that took the direct impact of my weight from the fall is extremly tender.  Even a slight pressure causes an intense pain. I don’t want to go back to the doctor but I know I need to have this checked out.
