For the past few days I haven't been on line posting much. I haven't been doing much of anything. It seems as if my feet have turned against me. Monday night rolling over into Tuesday morning of this week I awoke needing to go to the bathroom, but couldn't. I couldn't just get up and go because my feet were swollen and sore, so sore I had to crawl. The swelling went down as the day went on, but they were still sore and tender. Tuesday night into Wednesday morning the same thing occurred, my feet became very sore and swollen and kept me up all night. Wednesday eve I was able to actually walk some with my shoes on with minimal discomfort, but none the less Thursday I awoke to the pain again. Thursday evening my grandmother was talking with my wife, Saun, and well they came to the conclusion that it is most likely the onset of gout. With gout running in my family it is well likely the culprit. My grandmother also mentioned to my wife that every time my grandad would eat bologna that his gout would flair up. Well it just happens to be I do love me some bologna sandwiches and I have had a lot of it in the past week. So long story short I have had to stay home from work and haven't gotten anything done other than trying to relax my feet and watching Scooby Doo while I did. Sigh... I guess I'm going to have to cut out bologna and some other items from my diet in trade for being able to walk without, (or less) pain.
