[QUOTE="Mad_Jack, post: 8161651, member: 6750306"] So... I ended up in the hospital overnight for observation Monday night... :rolleyes: Awhile back, beginning of last week, my toe started hurting, next day I woke up with a swollen toe and a huge blood blister under the nail. It didn't really get any better as the week went on and the beginning of this week two other toes started getting the same way. I called out of work on Monday to get it checked, spent the whole damn day at the emergency room in the Health Center, then got transferred to the local hospital overnight. Didn't get let out till 2:30 in the afternoon on Tuesday. Since I had a bunch of vacation time I was about to lose, I just took off the rest of the week. Apparently I have "Covid toes" - [B]not Covid[/B] - I tested negative, just Covid toes (it seems to be a somewhat common symptom of Covid)... There are apparently teeny weenie blood clots getting jammed up in the capillaries and causing the swelling and purple spots. It's "most likely" caused by Reynaud's disease, which is when your body overreacts to cold temperatures by constricting your blood vessels too much. I need to call a vascular guy for an appointment to make sure it's not some autoimmune disease or something else... In the meantime, I'm supposed to pop aspirin every day, keep my feet warm and try not to wear my steel-toed boots any more than necessary. Since the puter is downstairs in my freezing-<bleeping>-cold basement, I'm trying to stay offline, but there's not much else to do around the house that isn't a "downstairs" project (hobby stuff, puter stuff, etc.)...
