Ulcerative colitis. Gastritis. Hiatal hernia.

That's on top of hypertension, diabetes and congestive heart failure.

And the cherry on top is hemorrhoids.

FML.

I MIGHT be a little over medicated right now

*Splats in* The last couple of days haven't been the best, Mum got taken in to hospital because of chest pain (She has breast cancer and has been going through chemo). She has a known heart condition and at first they thought she may have had a heart attack, then after a chest xray they saw some air in her intestines so they thought it might be a tear in the bowel.

They did an op to sort it out find out all is well (Also no sign of any cancer around there ), So back to the heart attack theory. She has been poked by a few more doctors who decide to do a CT Scan to check her lungs for blood clots. All clear on that front too So I think the latest theory is that a few things combined. tiny tear in bowel that healed before they got there, major angina attack and possible infection from being on chemo and having a low white blood cell count.

Rang earlier and they said her stats were improving and she was giving the nurse instructions on what to tell me So she must be feeling a bit better.

Maybe we should all pitch in for the next Powerball lottery ...

I was 1 number off from the winning ticket in the $1 million lottery draw on the 4th.

Aw, man, that seriously sucks! Better luck on your next try!

To my amazement, I've had five consecutive shifts at the shop this week. Good, right? Not so, alas ... The first two were during "good" shopping hours and my numbers were great -- awesome, in fact, on the first shift. The remaining three are "closing" shifts and except for very rare occasions (and Christmas) those shifts are lousy. And next week I have four shifts -- and three are closing shifts. Ugh.

On the bright side, I've now rectified my error of the past two days ... driving around without my driver's licence ... It's back in my purse where it belongs, LOL.

Ugh. I just received a letter from some shady 'law' firm (basically a zombie debt collector) claiming an intent to sue for an old debt from 2009 or so. While I don't deny that the debt is mine, the issuing bank refused to work with me--and ceased any reasonable communication--when I realized I couldn't keep up the payments and contacted them. As far as I can determine, it was sold off...I don't even know when (it's not showing up on my credit report currently). The only thing I can do is ask mom if the disability trust lawyer knows anything I can do. Her take is to ignore it, but I'd just like to get some actual legal advice just in case. I really really cannot afford to get sued. I'm having enough problems rebuilding my trashed credit (5 years ago it was excellent, when the grandparents died we ran through mom's savings and mine trying to keep the house) without this.

All I want now is someone to drop about $5K in my lap, no strings attached.

As someone who gets ear infections...I know how much they suck.

Me too, had a lot of them as a child and I often think that for sheer misery, they're worse than toothache.

As for the hug moshpit - remember the thread where we were creating our CS.com town? Could have a permanent one installed in the town community centre....

As someone who gets ear infections...I know how much they suck. Just a few little drops of water, and I'm deaf on my right side. 35 years of this crap, in fact Since I get them so often (I have one now, in fact), I've quit going to the doctor. Why pay him $100 or more to tell me what I already know? But, I've found that chewing gum helps to drive the fluid out

[SongsOfDragons]

I have an ear infection...again...in my left ear...again...less than 11 months since my last one and less than 8 since I had to go to the ENT to have it vacuum cleaned. It's all thick and itchy and every so often it hurts >.O it's not like you can whip your ear canal out like you can with tonsils after recurrent infections. It's not the terriblest, it's just really annoying...

And I so agree on the hug moshpit. Line a sports hall with soft foam and pillows.

[mathnerd]

Can I join you guys? I'm having a really bad day. Life sucks sometimes.

The worlds alright, just the people mess it up.

The Auditors agree. They wan to inhume Death, after all.
