I feel so sorry for myself, I can't actually decide what's for the best.
Last night around midnight I accidentally dropped a big heavy glass from a cabinet straight onto my bare foot. The pain was unbelievable and I almost passed out (everything went like a negative, seating etc), but I am a lone parent and DD was in bed, so i didn't want to drag her up and go to A&E at that time.
It instantly turned purple, the whole top of my foot, 2 smallest toes went like sausages, can't walk on it.
So took pain killers and went to bed. Woke up at 5.30am with a horrible stomach bug, which went on until just after 10am.
I still feel awful, weak and sick and yuck, but my foot is unbelievably sore.
I don't know if i should wait for DD to get home at 3pm and risk going to A&E or wait and see how i feel tomorrow. I can't sleep with the pain, it's awful.
I feel really sorry for my self, pathetically so, but have you every tried to hope quickly to the bathroom when in the throws of a bug!
To make matters worse I am meant to be going on holiday on Friday
