Nasty little stomach virus has kept me incapacitated for the better part of a week… so bad I had to miss two days of work which pisses me off to no end, but I’m starting to feel a little better. A trip to the hospital has shown that I’m not suffering from any ulcers, faulty appendices, kidney stones, or any of that fun stuff. I still have to go back for a CT scan, but you know… I’m not going to jinx it. Bye.
You remember “Encounter At Farpoint”, the pilot episode of Star Trek: The Next Generation? Remember when they’re down on the planet and Deanna Troi is suddenly whimpering “Pain! Pain! So much pain!” Remember that?
Yeah, that’s what I’m starting to feel like right now.
Pain… so much fucking pain…
For the moment, effective pain relievers and herbal teas are helping with my recent episode of torture – and with two weeks off, I’ll have plenty of time to get some personal projects done… because I’m apparently not well enough to travel.
(2025 Update: I don’t go out and explicitly say it, but this was around the time that I first got my diagnosis of Crohn’s Disease, which is something that continues to affect me to this very day. I’m managing, though… that much, I’m thankful for.)
