What The Hell Wednesday

Wednesdays are great for Wordless and Wordful posts, but we decided to go a different route and create our own Wednesday fun. We figured what the hell. That’s how we started What The Hell Wednesday. Who are we kidding? That’s pretty much how we decide on almost everything. If you want to play along, grab our button on the sidebar, link up to us in your post and don’t forget to sign in to the linky below. Really, what the hell?

For one post I’m taking a break from Disney, but just for one post. Well, not just any post, the ever popular, okay, sort of popular, or maybe a little popular, oh What The Hell, popular with our mom and Anne from Small Town Mommy, it’s What The Hell Wednesday!

Because it’s my blog I’m going to take the time to whine about my ankle. It started out hurting because of bone chips in the ankle. They caused the joint to get inflamed which, in turn, caused the ligaments to get inflamed. According to the MRI there’s a lot of inflammation ( I usually refer to it as ‘Holy Crap, my ankle is freakin’ huge!’) but nothing that can be done surgically. My options are as follows;

1. Get a steroid shot in the ankle joint. I asked if it was very painful and was told it’s “uncomfortable”. Which in layman’s terms means it hurts like freakin’ crazy! Also, I was advised to have it done on a Friday afternoon because once the numbing agent wears off it’s going to hurt even more than it does now and I would have to weekend to rest. Oh, and there’s no guarantee it will help the joint pain and it won’t help the ligament pain at all. What The Hell??!!

2. Put my foot in a cast. Oh, super! It’s my right foot so that means no driving. How can you be a mother and not drive?? Also, he’s afraid that the immobilization of my leg could lead to blood clots. What The Hell??

3. He prescribed Celebrex for me if my primary care doctor said it was okay. I read a print-out about it and I can’t take it, I’m allergic to something in it!!! What The Hell???!!!

4. Physical therapy, which may or may not do anything, but if it’s not better in a couple weeks then stop. What The Hell??

I really just need a prescription for a 4 week vacation to someplace warm where I can sit on the beach all day with a good book and soak up the sun. Oh, wait, I’m allergic to the sun too! What The Hell??
