Short Attention Span Theater

Ok, installed and mostly configured. Not quite 100% yet, but at least it’s mostly there.

I won’t be renewing melipillar.com, which expires on April 2nd. I’ll be using iwritethecode.com as my multi-purpose domain from now on. I’ll get my blogs set up over there hopefully before melipillar.com goes down. If not, please just check http://blog.iwritethecode.com periodically for info!

Xrays:: normal.
Blood:: normal.

Body :: abnormal.

I always find it funny when I can pretty much diagnose myself or at least know exactly what the doc is going to do.

My knee, still hurting from the fall - sent me for x-rays

My fingers, been sore and swollen - he’s got a few ideas on what it could be, which were exactly what I was thinking. First off, my blood pressure is seriously high for me, 150/90-something. Which is high on the general scale. Explains the headaches that wouldn’t go away all weekend and probably my exhaustion. I stopped taking the phentermine after this first started on Friday, as I kind of suspected that causing the high BP.

So I’ve got water pills to try and help that. Methinks I’ll be working from the toilet on the laptop for the next week or so. Also took blood to see if I’ve got any auto-immune thing going on like rheumatoid arthritis or something and to check my kidneys, liver, etc. He also mentioned thyroid, which of course made me chuckle. Anyone who knows my history would be rolling their eyes as well. Of course it’s also possible that the pain is just wear and tear from being on a damned computer all the time.

The surprise - I had to go for a lung x-ray. My left (bad) lung has some very localized wheezing, which I didn’t even notice. So used to it I guess. So we’ll see what comes of that.

Be at least 2 days before I get results of any of that. In the meantime - DON’T STRESS ME OUT!

And don’t keep me too far from a toilet. Water pills are crazy. I’ve peed more today than I have in the past month.

Why are the really great pet stories not mine? Oh sure my guys do some funny stuff, but not the kind of thing that gets spread across the internet. Amanda sent me this link. It is SO funny - this dog seems to have found her fountain of youth! Maybe we all need to follow suit.
