I had decided not to see a doctor about my back pain (which has disappeared, for the most part, though I still feel tired from time to time if I stand too long) and thus I avoided filling out paperwork and starting the process to get some assistance from the county. Well, tonight I had to go to Valley Med anyway, because I cut my right index toe when I walked into the metal bookshelf in the room, after I had lost my balance trying to get out of the room. 8 stitches. Sigh. I also met a high school classmate in the ER; he was the physician in triage screening patients.
