My “Super Bowl Party”

As the Bears were losing to the Colts, I spent the bulk of the evening in the ER at the local hospital.  The pain had intensified, so I was done waiting for the results of my labwork.  My dad drove me to the hospital, and after running a bunch of tests, it was confirmed that I have above average levels of uric acid in my blood — an indicator that it might be gout.

As I entered the ER, the pain level was a good 5 or 6…  while I was waiting for my Doc to come back with the test results… that pain level hit a solid 8!  maybe a borderline 9!  A pain reliever and anti-inflamatory drug brought me back down to a 6 or 7… and I was released after being given some prescriptions.

It’s improved now, but I still can’t put much weight on my foot…

p.s. Colts 29 - Bears 17 — and Prince was AWESOME!!
