• 13:19:48: WTF. Snow. And we're driving to Tofino in the midst of it.
  
• 16:35:18: Made it to the island. First coffee of the day: quarter after 3.
  
• 21:58:40: In brightest day, in blackest night...
  
• 22:00:22: I am, in fact, engaged. To be married. To Ruy. He proposed this afternoon at afternoon tea at The Empress.
  
• 22:29:00: I just scored 342,538 points, playing Bad Romance in Lady Gaga Revenge 2!

• 19:46:12: Good news is, I don't appear to be diabetic. Bad news, that's one of the last 4 things it could be before they just declare it idiopathic.
  
• 19:49:17: Now, we're onto the weirder things.
  
• 19:49:58: Like what I have affectionately begun referring to as the carbon-dating test.
  
• 19:50:12: There's radioactivity involved.
  
• 19:50:29: It's on Dec. 16th. 5 hours long.
  
• 19:51:44: I think this is the one to check for bacterial overgrowth, but fuck if I know.
  
• 19:55:05: Having looked it up, this would appear to be the case. I will still refer to it as the carbon-dating test. Because...why not?
  
• 19:56:14: In other news, lab results say my liver is AWESOME.
  
• 19:56:34: Also, kidneys.
  
• 19:57:27: Also, I've apparently managed to maintain some semblance of not-malnourished.
  
• 19:58:05: Sure, some of the numbers could be better, but my mother is just so *pleased* that I'm not in nutritional decline.
  
• 19:58:39: That sounded sarcastic. She really is pleased.
  
• 19:59:33: Personally, I'll be happy if the pain and vomiting go away, but I don't have high hopes, really.
  
• 20:00:56: Ow.

• 09:53:48: That much glucose this early in the morning would make anyone diabetic. #thestomachsaga
  
• 09:54:59: @queenanthai ...it's snowing here, but I share the sentiment.
  
• 10:01:49: Um, okay, hyper much? I hate you, glorified Orange Crush. #thestomachsaga
  
• 10:44:57: Ugh. Now I just feel sick. A stomach full of sugar and nothing else. Has it been 2 hours yet? #thestomachsaga

• 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.
