Bone Weary

Last night after class, my right foot was hurting. Its been bothering me some lately, puffing up and being a nuisance. But this was more than usual. I took off my sneaker which I have taken to wearing because the soles of my feet hurt so much these days and took a look.

What on earth was that yellow lump? Yikes! I am thinking this is a lymph gland rearing its ugly self. I have never seen the likes before. And above it a big puffy area. The other foot is fine, so it can't be some blood pressure thing. Oy. I have felt a bit puffy all day in various places, maybe this one just went whole hog.

Well, nothing to do but elevate and rest. Hopefully it will go down by morning and behave better. Sure hope that insurance company comes through with the OK for the PET scan and bone marrow biopsy soon. Not that I really want to have the tests, but I need to get the action plan in place before something else decides to swell up and go crazy.
