Dec 5th? Yeesh.

When the hell did that happen? *puts note in cellphone scheduler to pick up stamps for Christmas cards I'll be writing on Friday*

I figured I'd dash off a quick note to let everyone know that I'm still kicking. Still no clue what the hell is wrong with me. All signs point to gallbladder, all tests are normal. Go figure. After the first of the year, I go for an endoscopy, where they'll knock my ass out and stuff a tube down my throat to get an upclose look at the gallbladder. I seriously hope they find something, because this? Sucks. I'm getting increasingly bitter about the dietary restrictions. I've got a certain amount of flexibilty, in that I can eat low-fat cheese products, as well as slight dairy, but anything beyond that still causes pain. Hell, it's still pissed over the honey-walnut cream cheese I had the other day--it really hates nuts.

I think what pisses me off most is the fact that I'll be stuck eating like this for the foreseeable future, because even if the endoscopy shows something, I'll have to figure out a time to have the damn thing out, which will require shuffling things at work and figuring out a time when I could have a few days off for the surgery.

In the meantime, I get to suck it up. The one good thing is that I never liked chocolate icing on my birthday cake anyway.

Speaking of which...I'm going to be 34 in 12 days? What the fuck? Yeesh. Who authorized that one?

You're still younger than me, if that helps. *g*

Hope you start to feel better, baby. The ex-hubby had gallbladder problems & he was miserable before he had it removed. So, I (sort of) feel your pain. *HUGS*

*hugs back* Thanks, sweetie. It's just been frustrating to have all the symptoms, but nothing to tell you that you're right. Hopefully, they'll see something on the 'scope.

Even when I was laying in the emergency room nearly 12 hours after the attack that caused the emergency surgery had started, my blood work came back completely clean. I had one stone, they had trouble locating it on the ultrasound, and they thought it wasn't completely blocking the toobz because my bloodwork was COMPLETELY fine. When they opened me up, it was a totally different story. I was a mess in there. I'm guessing, hoping, wishing, that that is the case for you and that they find SOMETHING on the endoscopy so you can get it out and done with. *snuggles*

*snort* That sounds about right. Hopefully, he'll look at the 'scope and say "Oh hell. You need this out soon."

That would be lovely.

*hugs* Thank you, sweetie!

That's an encouraging testimony from Alyson. I hope they find something so you can get cleaned out and this be over.

And I'm older than you! If that helps.

*grin* Nah, I'm just shocked somehow that I'm going to be 34!

Thank you, though. Here's hoping something shows.

PS: dinner plates. And affectionately hired callgirls. You know why.

*snerk* The hooker, if you'll pardon the pun, got the shaft.

And dammit. I snorted sprite. I thought they were perfectly normal sized. Jebus.

It gets better! His hipbones "jab freakishly through the skin", and he has no butt. Also, he squints too much, and he has a VD that Paris caught from Nick-ay.

Poor Jeff. He picked a real winner.

Ooh, AND! His marriage to Sophia was all a WB publicity stunt.

In other news, Hilarie is still a dirty, dirty whore. And that Latina character would've been so much prettier if she had lighter skin.

I can't look away. Send help.

Jesus fuck. What a bunch of catty little assholes.

Step away from the TWOP before it eats your soul, sweetheart.

Sleepy Chad commands it.

[nilchance.livejournal.com]

Aww, sleepy Chad. *pets*

(Seriously? I left out the parts that really qualified for catty. Y'know, about his mom.)

[beanside.livejournal.com]

Yeouch. Poor Chad.

[nilchance.livejournal.com]

But then there's snippets about Chad bringing the actress who played Haley herbal tea when she pulled a Jeff, overworked and got deathly ill on set. Herbal tea. I mean... *flappy hands*

(You can see how much work I'm getting done, huh?)

[beanside.livejournal.com]

Oh, god. That's just cripplingly sweet. *loves on the Chad*

Really busy, huh?

[frala.livejournal.com]

bah to gallbladders I say!

[caarirose.livejournal.com]

*cuddles* Bad gallbladder! How dare it be all pissy at you, that's not allowed. *nod*

34's not that bad, honey. I'll be 40 next year damn it! That's really not allowed.

*snuggle* And just to add, stupid bloody time zones!

*pets* Dietary restrictions suck.

Nuts bother it, you say? *ponders* Makes hurty and upsets digestion? Because if I eat more than a small amount of nuts at a sitting, even if they're not particularly oily, I get pains and unhappy digestive system.

You're alive!
Yay!
