• 11:14:03: In fearful day, in raging night,
  
• 11:14:14: with strong hearts full, our souls ignite!
  
• 11:14:21: When all seems lost in the War of Light, look to the stars, for hope burns bright!
  
• 11:14:37: Today's the day I visit the GI doctor.
  
• 11:14:48: "All will be well."
  
• 16:08:26: I have a long road ahead of me.
  
• 16:08:34: Is the general diagnosis.
  
• 16:09:23: The actual diagnosis currently being gastroparesis, the underlying cause being currently unknown.
  
• 16:15:31: Gastroparesis is partial paralysis/stasis of the stomach, meaning the stomach essentially does fuck all to help with digestion.
  
• 16:15:55: Hence why the solid food just sits there.
  
• 16:16:08: And then gets vomited back up.
  
• 16:17:08: The question is why. First, they're testing me for diabetes, which apparently goes hand in hand with celiac disease.
  
• 16:17:37: They're doing a whack of bloodwork and a glucose tolerance test. Tomorrow.
  
• 16:18:02: Then there's to be a CT scan of my small intestine to check for lesions.
  
• 16:18:32: And a capsule test to look for, um, problems, I guess, in the digestion. It's a little camera.
  
• 16:19:01: And a test to look for bacterial overgrowth in my small intestine from 8 months of gastroparesis.
  
• 16:19:14: And I have to stop eating solid food.
  
• 16:19:38: If I would like something that was formerly solid, I have to puree it. Which sounds just nasty.
  
• 16:19:55: Nothing high in fibre, nothing high in fat. Nothing jagged.
  
• 16:20:40: And apparently, I've been taking the motility drug wrong. I wish someone had informed me of that at least 6 months ago.
  
• 16:21:33: Also, my gastroesophageal reflux PPI, is supposed to be in the morning and not the evening, but no one told me that either.
  
• 16:21:54: I miss Nexium, which both made sense, and worked. But it's too fucking expensive.
  
• 16:22:05: Fuck Canada's drug plan.
  
• 16:25:37: I'm sitting in the breakroom at Ruy's work, and generally feeling shitty. I did bring a literal fuckton of comics to read, though.
  
• 16:26:13: I was going to go to the comic book store, but ended up just not wanting to be alone.
  
• 16:27:42: I think I have pretty legit cause at this point to say FUCK. MY. LIFE.
  
• 16:28:08: Right, well, those of you that aren't on LJ now have a general sense of what's going on.
  
• 16:29:18: Now, excuse me while I leave.
  
• 16:31:04: I'm sick (literally) and tired (also, quite literally) of throwing my opinion into the attention-getting fray, so goodbye.
  
• 16:32:24: I've neither reason nor patience to sit here and tweet at no one anymore.
  
• 16:32:58: Only reason I posted about the results of the GI visit were on the offchance @queenanthai might find it useful.
  
• 16:33:09: All will be well. But not right now.

• 09:42:21: I cannot read this morning.
  
• 09:43:12: Playing #WoW before meeting my dad for coffee and I read the move "Parry" as "Pastry." Unfortunately, that made me hungry.
  
• 09:43:46: Then, of course, there were the Studly (Sturdy) Leather Bracers. #WoW
  
• 09:44:18: And, just offhand, I would like to kill the crap out of Stormwind right now. Jesus, can't a low-level go about her questing in the city...
  
• 09:44:57: ...without being eaten by several furious elementals? I *get* it, there's a cataclysm a-comin', but I HAVE QUESTS TO TURN IN. #WoW
  
• 09:45:26: Point of thought: Can one really be *eaten* by an elemental? #WoW
  
• 09:46:26: Druitt, the Rogue Wainscotter and Part-time Ripper, has business in Stormwind, thank you. #WoW #Sanctuary
  
• 09:46:57: I promise this time, it's not carving working girls into canoes. Unless the working girls are elementals. #WoW #Sanctuary
  
• 09:47:55: @LilFerret Your wry sense of wit (so like mine) brings me great happiness this morning. Unfortunately, no pastry.
  
• 09:48:11: @LilFerret YES, YES, I LIKE IT.
  
• 13:45:24: If you were a hypothetical cat, would you want to be named after the world's greatest electrical engineer, or a teleporting wainscotter?
  
• 13:45:48: Keeping in mind that wainscotting is a euphemism.
  
• 13:46:22: I mean, it's also an actual thing, but in this case, it's a euphemism.
  
• 13:47:01: Also, this wainscotter is very tall and good looking and makes me swoon.
  
• 13:49:55: @replicarter8022 LOL. Thank you. Your vote has been counted.
  
• 16:49:35: My brain is dead of grammar fail. But delightfully filled with classical music win.
  
• 16:50:06: Such are the things with being a word lady.
  
• 16:50:51: By which I mean, such are the fundamentals of being a contracted editor.
  
• 16:51:14: Still. I've used up all my word power.
  
• 16:51:28: GI specialist tomorrow. Yay!
  
• 18:31:07: Ow, everything.
  
• 18:33:16: Stomach no good, left eye feels like ground glass, kind of feeling like falling over.6y66t-+-------------
  
• 18:33:23: Word, Tessa.
  
• 18:34:19: I don't see it going uphill from here, so catch you all on the flipside. By which I mean LJ, sometime that isn't now.
  
• 18:34:55: Fics on hold until I can get this eye thing under control. Sorry, @liliofthevaley and @windandthestars.
  
• 18:36:00: Incidentally, if someone wants to write me fluffy cat fic, or, you know, Sanctuary, I promise I'll let the screen reader help me.

• 00:07:04: You know the Gravol has kicked in when you just fall right out of your chair.
  
• 00:07:32: I think I have bruises, but I don't care. I'm too tired to care.
  
• 00:07:59: So, obviously, I'm about to open up World of Warcraft. You know how it goes.
  
• 00:09:59: Obviously, this is also a time when writing an LJ entry is imperative.
  
• 00:49:06: LJ entry on bridge #2 being burned. Cathartic.
  
• 10:58:14: Sister's heeeeeeeere.
  
• 12:20:42: I wish I could filter certain people's names out of my Twitter feed. Like I want to know what she said.
  
• 12:21:29: Yes, I have no patience. We have established this.
  
• 12:22:26: I'm SO GLAD she's talking to everyone but me.
  
• 12:22:47: Right. Guess I'm not over it.
  
• 12:23:30: @windandthestars Stomach-sharing?
  
• 12:25:29: @windandthestars I'm breathing! Fire. I'm just pouty because I have to call the dentist.
  
• 12:26:17: @LilFerret *highfive* *fistbump* Um, *cuddle*
  
• 12:27:57: @windandthestars My stomach offers its condolences. And evil laughter. Shhh, stomach. Nobody likes an evil organ.
  
• 12:29:17: @windandthestars See? I knew you'd get it. Dentist = evil. Rin = dragon. Pillow = soft.
  
• 12:30:24: @fumblingoctober I skipped everything but "I forfeit my clothes." ;)
  
• 12:37:16: @LilFerret Word, sistah.
  
• 12:37:58: Finally. Dentist called. Invisible checkmark for me.
  
• 13:10:00: Bitch, peas.
  
• 13:11:56: My leg aches. Will this never cease?
  
• 14:13:29: *is totes not doing her finances in the middle of Starbucks*
  
• 14:14:34: @windandthestars Mine too, actually.
  
• 15:01:09: @windandthestars Dude, me too. For a glorious 4 days, I had them for dinner and KEPT THEM DOWN. It was marvelous.
  
• 16:23:57: Okay, the crushing depression has officially set in. This time I promise not to eat peanut butter cups.
  
• 16:25:09: Having developed a severe allergy to all nuts, including the ones masquerading as legumes.
  
• 16:27:26: On that note, don't anyone ask what I did on Remembrance Day. It involved a lot "Do I stab myself with the EpiPen now or hope it subsides?"
  
• 16:28:52: And wheezing.
  
• 16:29:47: And vomiting, but that's pretty much par for the course.
  
• 16:32:55: @windandthestars I really, really love you.
  
• 19:09:11: Why do I have Spice Girls in my head? WHY?!
  
• 19:11:15: Why do I keep coming back to Twitter? Whyyyyy?!
  
• 19:15:29: I think this pain is a signal that I'm going to die. But in cute news, Tessa is sleeping on top of the router to keep warm.
  
• 19:20:14: @LilFerret @xiratania O_O *has exploded of awesome*
  
• 20:39:33: I CAN DANCE!
  
• 20:43:08: Yeah, I really need to stop watching that video.
  
• 20:43:57: @xiratania @LilFerret So...am I? Well, this is shaping up to be a *great* evening! :D
  
• 21:28:58: 90+% gay and *still* attracted to Timothy Hutton. WHY IS THIS? #Leverage
  
• 21:31:08: Quick, someone find out what Chris Heyerdahl, Tim Roth, RDA, and Timothy Hutton have in common. Anyone?
  
• 21:31:44: @MichelleDaGreek HAI! *SQUISHES* I mean, *WAVES THEN SQUISHES*
  
• 21:37:25: @LilFerret Tim Roth: 49, Timothy Hutton: 50, RDA: 60, Chris H: 6'4"
  
• 21:37:50: @LilFerret Apparently, Chris transcends having an age.
  
• 21:38:59: @LilFerret But damn if he isn't tall... *gets dreamy-eyed*
  
• 21:39:32: @LilFerret I was testing your theory.
  
• 21:40:05: @LilFerret And they're mostly twice my age.
  
• 21:40:29: @LilFerret So, theoretically, you're right.
  
• 21:41:38: But why them, and not, um, thinkofashowthinkofashow...
  
• 21:42:31: Gah, my brain is just *nowhere* tonight.
  
• 21:43:35: I watch TV, right? Why can't...oh God, Mark Harmon.
  
• 21:45:00: I do have a type for the 9.995% of me that likes men. Older, taller, or Colin Ferguson...
  
• 21:46:12: @LilFerret I'm on painkillers. Anything *shiny* is my mission. Also, naming hot people. That's a mission, right?
  
• 21:46:43: Item 1: Amanda Tapping.
  
• 21:47:16: Item 2--yep, there went my attention span.
  
• 21:48:32: @LilFerret Can I have more than one mission? ...why am I asking you? Are you my superior officer? Actually, probably.
  
• 21:49:07: Hey look, an elephant!
  
• 21:50:51: It's like, if you follow my timeline, you start to see exactly where the Dilaudid starts to kick in.
  
• 21:51:44: The answer is, 9 minutes ago.
  
• 21:52:16: @LilFerret I like that this answers all 3 of my questions. <3
  
• 22:53:31: OF COURSE, Hugh Laurie.
  
• 22:53:59: Also, I feel genuinely nauseated, and there's nothing more I can take. This blows, obviously.
  
• 22:54:42: @LilFerret And kisses to you too! ;)
  
• 22:56:32: @LilFerret I mostly had it for my knee surgery, but it's come in very handy for the big giant spiky ball rolling around in my stomach.
  
• 22:57:07: @LilFerret I can't remember how well it worked post-surgery, but I *do* remember that I was generally pretty hilarious.
  
• 22:58:42: @LilFerret Word.

• 00:41:42: Why do I continue to eat? Jesus. Owwwwwwwwwwwww.
  
• 00:43:27: I am so tired of vomiting. Every fucking time I eat.
  
• 00:45:37: *curls up next to @liliofthevaley, who, as I remember it, has all the pillows*
  
• 00:49:34: @liliofthevaley Yes, yes you can.Especially since this has already turned into a series. I'm 3 sentences into three fics now.Simultaneously.
  
• 00:50:12: @liliofthevaley But I will be curling up on your pillows.
  
• 00:51:28: Stacy's Mom just came up on shuffle. Awesome. #sg14
  
• 00:52:03: RT @xiratania: I want to be friends with Nymphadora Tonks. ;) She's fun! #HarryPotter #OrderOfThePhoenix
  
• 10:34:27: I just woke up from a dream in which @liliofthevaley was dragging me to a concert. That was...weird.
  
• 10:34:47: Other than that, I slept pretty terribly.
  
• 10:36:17: And the computer has apparently decided that today is a Linux day. Fine, computer, you win. FOR NOW.
  
• 10:38:03: Oh god, the cat is recompiling the kernel.
  
• 10:38:31: I *think* she knows more about computers than she's letting on.
  
• 15:11:35: Tessa sprawled all over the keyboard to the point where she shut down the computer. Thanks?
  
• 15:12:00: And as usual, I hurt.
  
• 15:13:13: @liliofthevaley I would have gladly gone to one of those. Instead you were dragging me to someone I'd never heard of.
  
• 15:14:29: I should eat. I don't want to eat. My brain says it's lunch time, my stomach says fuck you.
  
• 15:33:09: Uh...I have no reason to keep this Twitter public, do I?
  
• 15:36:31: That's what I thought.
  
• 15:37:04: If my own mother is kind enough to step back and say she won't read it, NEITHER THE HELL SHOULD MY MOTHER IN LAW.
  
• 16:27:20: I've never called my cat by her full name so many times in one day.
  
• 16:27:56: Uh, that is, her full *first* name.
  
• 16:29:11: Her full first name being Tesseract.
  
• 16:29:30: Her full name being Tesseract Hypercube Frederika von Ladycatbottom.
  
• 16:30:58: "Tesseract, stop rolling on my keyboard." "Tesseract, stop throwing yourself at the wall." "Tesseract..."
  
• 16:31:08: Word is losing allll meaning.
  
• 16:31:54: The weird part being that she actually stops what she's doing when I say it.
  
• 17:44:56: Should be moving laundry to dryer, but am currently wishing I didn't have organs.
  
• 21:08:02: The nap, it did not help.

• 22:28:27: I feel like complete and utter crud right now. 8 months of constant stabbing stomach pain is too fucking much.
  
• 22:31:39: I have a high pain tolerance, sure, but I have sincerely lost my ability to deal with anyone or anything rationally.
  
• 22:32:28: Or reasonably.
  
• 22:34:13: @liliofthevaley Kate/Henry fic for you. Very late bday present. Give me your fave prompt.
  
• 22:36:24: Did I do something to deserve all this pain? Karmic retribution?
  
• 22:37:22: @liliofthevaley writing is all that's keeping me sane right now!
  
• 22:42:09: @liliofthevaley This Friday. It cannot come soon enough.
  
• 22:42:41: @liliofthevaley Excelllllent.
  
• 22:43:24: And how many people have I alienated into just not caring?
  
• 22:44:06: Olympics 2010 theme, you remind me of when this all began.
  
• 22:46:02: At least I have @windandthestars and @liliofthevaley to write fic for this week.
  
• 22:48:44: Also, srsly, iPod, I want to write Kate/Henry fic, not a Kate/Henry *fix*. Hmm, actually... I need a Kate/Henry fix.
  
• 22:50:59: I apologize in advance for the Kate/Henry series that is sure to arise from doing this. No, no I really don't.
  
• 22:51:26: @LilFerret LMAO

• 18:59:31: Liiiiiiisa.
  
• 21:36:44: And that's what happens when you tell your mother just how much you've eaten in the past 8 months.
  
• 21:37:09: "How are you still *alive*?"
  
• 21:37:42: Hint: I've subsisted on very little.
  
• 21:38:42: Luckily, GI specialist on Friday. Finally.
  
• 22:20:18: Fuck, my head hurts.
  
• 22:23:58: @liliofthevaley *SQUISHES* Yes, pleeease. *curls up on a pillow and whimpers*
  
• 22:24:17: @windandthestars You and me both.
