So I found out today that Stu is in the hospital with appendicitis... I saw him yesterday, and he seemed to be in a fair bit of pain, but honestly, that's pretty typical for him.
I really hope everything goes well for him... I'm guessing they'll have to take it out. I'm pretty sure he's still not on the medical plan at work, so it might be somewhat costly... poor guy. :(
One thing he's always good for is making me feel that my own health isn't too bad. XD
I don't know what's going on with me though... I was gonna go to the clinic on my days off, but I still haven't, and it's back to work again tomorrow... I just got discouraged... I feel like no matter what they're just going to shrug and tell me they don't have an answer for me. I suppose that's better than the mood affecting drugs they had me on for my headaches though... fuck.
But yeah... what's going on?
I've had this lump in my side for as long as I can remember... about seven years ago I got concerned about it and had the family doctor look at it... he told me it was nothing, just a gland, or a fat deposit, and that it's best just not to do anything about it.
...but it's hurting. It's been hurting off and on for a couple years -usually when I strain the muscles around it, but now it's been hurting me frequently for about a month, and for no reason.
I had X-Rays done, but even then, the doctor said to get a second opinion 'cause he had no idea what to do about it. So now I feel like I'll just be sitting in the waiting room for an hour for nothing... just to have someone else tell me they don't know what to do about it. Ah well, I'll try to go tomorrow morning.
