Ooh! Some other things!
I've thought of more things to talk about.
Lately I've been having some health issues, that I haven't really been talking much about because it's awkward, I guess? (except to Kim, because she knows all about organs and how they work). But I've been to the hospital twice this month, first for an ultrasound and then again for an MRI (second to getting Lasik on my eyes, weirdest experience ever), because it turns out I have gallstones. Which I had basically known about already, because my mom had her gallbladder removed when she was about my age, and I've been getting weird attacks of crippling pain and muscle craps in my back and ribs after I eat fatty foods. Aaaand I also have a mass on my liver, which is apparently harmless. Aaaaand I also have a teeny-tiny cyst on my left kidney, which explains why I've been having so much back pain, apparently. So hooray! All of my filter organs are a mess to a small degree. Life lesson, kids: being overweight your whole life is bad for you.
But the main message to come away with is: I have lost 15 pounds since January! And I am working hard on losing more! Apparently that will help a lot with the liver and gallbladder issues. My ribs and thighs are the thinnest I can remember them being. It's actually an extremely weird feeling. I can feel my bones, in my ribs and my hips, in ways I never could before.
