Another Night of the Gout

[kybearfuzz]

Tuesday I felt my left foot get a bit sore, but it's an odd soreness. It's like a joint that you wish you could pop, and I kept stretching my foot up and hoping it would happen. The pain is in the arch, but it wasn't consistent. Yesterday, it got a bit worse during the day, but I could still lift weights after work. Last night, it seemed to make me hobble. I figured, at last, it was another gout incident.

Since the last incident, where I essentially overdosed on my meds, I've been cautious. I took recommended dose and waited for it to subside, but it really didn't. So, I parked myself on the couch to watch TV and wait it out.

Maggie the Cat has become very loving of late. I've had to treat her for ear mites, which she hates. She cleans her face and ears over and over, and the result gives her a very ragged appearance. Yet, when I've gotten home, she's very vocal and seems to crave attention from me. I'm more than happy to give it, but she's getting in the middle of things, like my drawing and walking. When I'm hobbling around, having her walking in front of me isn't very helpful.

I stayed up late enough to catch the latest "South Park," which was a bit lame. I'll catch up on "American Horror Story: Coven" tonight on DVR.

This morning, I woke up and the gout hadn't subsided, but it didn't keep me awake last night like it usually does. I'm still hobbling a bit, but hopefully it'll be gone by the end of the day.

Sadly, it's going to wreck my run after work and it's a beautiful sunny day here. :(

Too much good living!

I hope it improves soon.

Thanks. I hope so too.

Hopefully you feel better soon. Meanwhile, do you think Maggie's loving is because she's lonely during the day?

I'm not sure. If she is lonely, this is something new. I'd have expected this more if it happened soon after Murphy died. Of course, in a cat's mind, maybe she's just now realizing that he's not coming back.

that is such an awesome pic of you two... you must be reading a Catwoman comic online. Maggie looks fascinated :)

Sometimes, it's more like "what are you looking at that could possibly be more fascinating than me???"

Cute pic!!

"Night of the Gout" sounds like a cheesy horror film. Sorry that it's not.

Hope you're feeling better soon, bud. ;)

Your gout: Hope it's better soon!

Maggie's ear mites: Hope that is all better soon, too!*

Enjoy the weekend as best you can!
