Thanks guys. My foot is all squashed up in an ACE style compression bandage with the little hooks holding it in place. I am limping around but I am relatively sure I didn't break anything. Or rather I think it would probably hurt a lot more if I had.

Advice: Do not try to stand up if your foot is asleep, you won't know what position it is in and you might do what I did which was basically make some kind of unintentional ballet move. And I am also glad I didn't buy drugs from the black guy who mumbled whatever he said that made me get off my bar stool.

Thanks for the advice especially Hav. I'm compressed and elevated and the most walking I will need to do for the rest of the day is to the bathroom. If I could build a dream house it would have secret passages in it and i would also have a urinal in my bedroom and in my living room.

Some people say that XPT is populated by terrible scumfuck assholes but I have proven time and again with questions and hamster pictures that most of you are humans.

Thanks again for the advice, I realize I could have looked it up on my own but somehow it means more coming from someone who has thought about it.


EDIT:@Hav and Jerk: I can't take pain relievers, advil included. First off I am a drunk (surprise) and tylenol FUCKS your liver badly if you are a drunk and NSAIDS like advil and alieve interact with my lithium and can cause a toxic spike in lithium blood serum levels. I can get codeine over the counter here but I am not sure if I am allergic to it or what because it makes my whole body itch. So as far as taking drugs or even "good drugs" I am gonna have to pass on them and just grin and bear it. I have been through way worse pain than this. If it continues to be an issue tomorrow (or becomes worse/more serious) I will limp my way into a clinic and ask about an X-ray or whatever. Pretty much I never take pain meds. Last time I did was in the ER a few years ago, they gave me a morphine drip and that was fine but they prescribed me a bottle of codeine which I just could not use.

I'll tell my ER story sometime. I thought I was going to die, I was puking blood. And what was really going on which I neglected to mention was that I went to the ER because I was too wickedly hung over to think I could possibly survive.
