I called the nurse practitioner at the VA hospital, and she advised me to go into Urgent Care. Debbie took me in and we got it checked out this afternoon.
Long story short: no blood clot but I need to keep my foot elevated as much as possible. I got a prescription for some sort of a pressure sock that diabetics wear, but I won't be able to get that for three weeks. I may run into the drugstore before that time to get my own.
My new friend, Will Bandes, advised me earlier on Facebook about it being related to ALS, and we need to elevate it. He said the swelling would return once the foot is back down for a period of time.
So... I guess I'll have to get a laptop on the ceiling or something. So I can dictate these messages and updates. That will be interesting. I wonder if Lydia would loan me her laptop to do that?
She said no, oh well.
