i can live with it, until it kills me

Saturday, February 18th, 2006

A week or so ago, I called my gastroenterologist to make an appointment to see him, per my doctor's instructions. The person I spoke with insisted I was her next call. Right. Anyway, she said they had an opening next Wednesday, but I couldn't take that one ...

i wish there were words to the jeopardy! theme

Tuesday, January 31st, 2006

My doctor told me he's run out of ideas. My labs have come back normal. He's going to call my gastroenterologist, but the only thing left that he can think of is to have a ... crap, I've forgotten what it's called. It's when they put an ...

the lost entry

Wednesday, January 25th, 2006

Here's the entry I lost, in short, short summary: - I had my first migraine. It sucked. - I have been fighting bronchitis since Saturday. It sucks, but I'm winning. - I have had lots of blood drawn in the last week, and it looks like my liver is rotting. I might have ...

i have to pee

Saturday, December 17th, 2005

appendicolith

Thursday, December 15th, 2005

In the last six weeks, I have been in and out of doctor's offices and CT scanners and had hands and various torture devices stuck up my vagina. As it turns out, I have a stone in my appendix. Weird, right? Well not so weird that they ...
