BTM.....

Will I never learn

so one Thursday Im noticing a swelling in my right foot that is not going down.

Since Im pretty aware of my body I decide to call my primary care Dr 

and ask her advice.

She reccomends that I go to the ER to rule out any blood clots

I concurred seeing that i knew this was not due to a sprain or twist

I assumed it was a circulation issue.

sooooooooooo

I drive myself o the ER explain my case,

I remove my shoe and there is an horrendous odor coming from my foot.

They not being alarmed take a culture of an abrasion that is between my big toe and index toe

on my right foot.

They tell me its best to get me on an  IV antibiotics asap since it will work faster than

any typical oral antibiotics

once again I concurred so they admitted me into the main hospital branch to begin the IV

at this point I said geeezus 

The last ime I was admitted on my own 

I had open heart surgery.

but away I went

like a pig to slaughter.

 I had a very comforatble evening there eating a nice dinner and watching the NBA playoffs

it dont get no better 

IV hooked up fast asleep i dozed

waking up in the morning hungry as hell so I ordered a nice breakfast

but I noticed the odor had somewhat decresaed a tad so things were looking up

so I thought

at that moment my breakfast arrives and the nurse shortly after darts in stating "sir sir 

u are not aloud to eat that breakfast"

I of couse inquired why and was told that a Podiatist ordered aprocedure or something 

and no food intake

All I said get me that podiatist please.

Im starving

1 hr later 

Th podiatrist enters and says this

A bacterial infection has been festering between your toe unknown to you

because of where it was located

it wasn't in site and it wasn't felt when u walked underneath

" we have 2 options regarding your treatment

option 1. we continue the IV antibiotics for 8 weeks and that could POSSIBLY catch the infection

or

option 2. we cut open the toe see how far he infection is and cut that part of the toe away before it reaches the bone

" and you definitely dont want it to reach the bone...DEFINITELY"

Im speechless to what Ive just heard

dumfounded, confused, and perplexed to say the least

 The doc says 

"you need a minute?'

Me: " NOPE CUT THE BITCH Off"

Podiatrist: great decision sir

Me: "BTM"

Podiatrist: "What's that?"

Me: "Black Toes Matter" 

My life :)
