Funnies
~ Remember Rainbow from TV in the 70's and 80's? Well, get out your broadband and watch this clip - it actually aired, and to my mind it's absolutely filthy-rude (and hence, classic).

The Passion of the Christ blooper reel (text only) - heheheheheh.
Jesus carries a heavy wooden cross through Jerusalem, assisted by Simon (Jarreth Merz).
Jesus: Wait a second. [puts down cross]
Off Camera: What is it?
Jesus: [wipes right eye] There’s something in my eye.
Simon: Oh my God, it’s a mote.
Off Camera: [laughter]

Well that was no fun.
I could write heaps - about driving there with a bladder full-to-bursting; about being scanned from outside, right-side, left-side, and inside. But I can't be arsed. This is the upshot:
1: My IUCD is sitting too low, and will probably have to be removed.
2: I have a cyst on my left ovary. Probably not a problem, but possibly.
3: I have lots to talk about with the gynaecologist today.
I hung around that end of town for a few hours so I could pick up the films. Went and saw Once Upon a Time in Mexico while I waited, and enjoyed it immensely. There's something cool about going to the movies in the middle of the morning by yourself when you could be at work.
I'm still bleeding - the Tranexamic Acid hasn't done what it was supposed to do, i.e.: clotting, but I have gone from v. heavy bleeding down to heavy bleeding. Small mercies. Or something like that. I'm getting really tired of spending my money on pads I don't like, simply because I'm bleeding too much to use my lovely re-usable cloth ones. *sigh* I miss my light periods.
NOTE: FuzzyBen is a sweetie. I love him muchly.
NOTE2: Anyone want to make me an icon of Count Rugen (from the Princess Bride) saying "If you don't have your health, you don't have anything." I really want it, and can't find one anywhere.
