Thanks to my suggestibility and this board, I had Humboldt Fog on a charcuterie board tonight.
I think we've cracked the whole cheese/mind control axis.
Well, personally, I kind of want to slay the dragon.

When I was 25 I damaged my dominant foot (first 2 toes shattered and lost half the middle toe). I get around well and have decent balance, but in recent years the tendon that goes from the arch around the inside of the ankle and up the calf has been a problem and it's likely because of the way I compensate for the lack of flex in the first 2 toes.
My Pilates teacher would love to work with you. She loves that shit.
(She had debilitating hypermobility that left her housebound for a couple years and was able to fix herself with Pilates so she's all about figuring out how to create support for past physical traumas.)

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.
Sophia Brooks, wow, going to the emergency room was the right decision. I'm glad you are getting expert help.
Waiting for procedures can be tedious and frustrating, but I hope the biopsy gives you and your medical team the information needed for a clear path forward.
Perhaps you do this already, but I found keeping a simple log or diary text document on my phone of events, medications, plans, advice, and schedules is very helpful. It doesn't take long, for all of those things to blur together, and loosing track is very easy without something to refer back to.
Gather information, make a plan, execute the plan. Repeat.
Sound familiar?
My experience has been that telling the tale helps with moving forward. Let us know how it goes.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
{{{Sophia}}} So glad they found it! Best wishes that everything you and your medical people are doing now works well!

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
{{{Sophia!}}} I'm glad you went to get checked out when you did, keeping you in my thoughts.

Oh no, Sophia! I'm wrapping you up with love and affection and easiest-path-to-healing.
