To whom it may concern. IT HUT! IT HUT!  Yesterday I went back to New Doctor and complained heavily about the pain, and the swelling at night.  The hospital sits right behind his clinic so he sent over me to get X-rays of my ankle, stating he'd call after he saw the X-rays.  Unlike Old Doctor who just took 2-Xrays of my foot - the horspital takes about six X-Rays covering various angles.  I guess thats good. Plus I got some new pain pills out of the deal.

                Trouble is - My younger brother (3 years difference) manned the post yesterday and was supposed to take messages - but true to form, he screwed it up. A doctor called but he assumed it was about my Dad and did not relay the message to anybody. By the time I got home New Doctor's office was closed.  I'm firing him as Message Boy.

 

            Foot started hurting bad around Midnight - took the pain pills. Waited for relief or at least the sleepy-bye effect to take hold. YES! It made me very sleepy - but not enough to get past the pain. And this night it hurt the worst ever since this mess started. So I got NO sleep, I am as cranky as a neutered horse and cant get any relief from said pain.

            A visit to the emergency room would get nowhere. So I wait for daylight - hoping the foot hasn't changed its like for day time. For whatever reason it seldom hurts really bad during the day - just at night. A nocturnal footy ache. Hah! Only in my world would something like that happen I guess, unless of course pains for you are always worse at night.

 

            Like the song says.., "I will survive".., despite how I feel. And while I'm on the subject of pain - I saw the 2005 remake of THE FOG.      If you never seen the original, "maybe" you would like this remake it a little. But I doubt it. Despite the rewrite, the original is far more entertaining that this film. All that hype for this new flick was a total let down. The special effects are okay - and I think they tried to make up for the lack of quality by throwing in a few panty bottomed ladies. Still don't work. There is no nudity per say except for a shower scene obscured by the defused shower glass door.

            Don't waste your money on it. You'll be glad you heeded my advice.  Tom Welling (Superboy/man of Smallville fame) while a good actor was simply not suited to his role in the film.  Instead spend your money on a good quality film like Abby recomends; "The Day After Tomorrow" -or- "Attack of the Killer Tomatoes"
