Soooo, I was salvaging furniture and stepped on a board with rusty nails. Two of them went through my foot. I went to urgent care after increased pain and redness and left with my very own tetanus shot and antibiotic Rx. I still have 3.5 more days of treatment and I'm so miserable. My stomach is already a mess all the time due to gastroparesis, but the antibiotic is adding a whole new level of hell.

Any coping advice? Do I keep just trying to pass the time and keep my mind off of it? I'm trying to just sit with the discomfort when possible, but all day every day it gets exhausting and I burn out and lose patience and then get anxious and it's hard to get out of the doomsayer mindset.
