I woke up in pain. Looked at the clock, 3:30 AM Saturday. Tried to move my foot, pain
jumped at me. Had to make the bathroom which is 4 steps away. Pulling myself along
holding on to nightstand and bed. My right foot is not working.Finally the door to the
bathroom.. Holding on to door and counter switch light on. Looked down at my foot. It
is swollen and pink, but throbbing like a toothache. Go to toilet wondering what
happened.
As I set there wondering where I put the cane that I had used 3 years ago. It had to be
in the hallway closet. Could I make it to there? It's not too far. Every step feels like
a mile, as pain shoots thru my leg. Found the cane and made it back to my bedroom.
Got back in bed and waited. It is too early to call anyone.
The radio comes on and tells of a 13 car accident. Our small hospital is
crowded. Time goes by as I wait for 7 AM. I call a friend and borrow a walker.
They take me to the Hospital.

Seems I have an infection in my foot. Never heard of this before. I thought you had to have a cut to get infected. I am on antibiotics now.
