"I can't stands no more."
Or, to be more precise, I can't stand anymore.
See if you can work this one out. I go to bed on Friday night, sober and healthy, at around 2am. I get up on Saturday morning around 10am.. and I can't stand on my right foot. It's fucking AGONY. I had to limp and drag myself to the bathroom.
I hadn't done anything for this to happen. I hadn't sprained it. I hadn't been out jogging, I hadn't twisted my foot or taken a funny turn or a bad step. But for some reason I just could not walk.
Sunday - same story. Ditto Monday. The pain trails off later on during the day (I was at my parents for the weekend so alcohol may have been a factor) but in the morning my foot feels like someone is sticking needles through it.
I eventually went to hospital on the Monday and they couldn't work it out either. Their solution was "it's not broken, sprained or injured. You may need to wear shoes with better support, so here's some painkillers in the meantime. Or you may have been bitten by a SPIDER, here's some antibiotics to fight the infection." Basically "we don't know. Here's some drugs. Now fuck off."
So I am now housebound, unable to walk without blinding pain, and I still have no idea why, and the only thing I can do now is take more pills than Eminem. What the hell is going on?
