I'm the kind of person who rarely speaks up when I have a problem. We have a big family, and everyone has something that hurts or some grievance with someone or something. I also have a stupid-high pain threshold, too, so most of whatever might go wrong with me is easy to push away and forget. The problem with that is that I don't realize something problematic has happened until it's way past being simply problematic.
That being said, I haven't walked without a limp for a month now (since my best friend's wedding). And then yesterday, I stubbed my little toe so badly that now there is a purple and red ring around it, and I can't bend it or walk on it without it hurting...on the same foot as my Achilles pain. For it to hurt this badly means I very well may have torn my Achilles a bit, and my little toe may very well be broken. I might never know.
What I DO know is that I am staying put today because I have my sister-in-law's wedding to go to tomorrow, and I need to be ready to be peopley again. Today ain't it. 🤣🤘
