Thanks, babe! My liver is doing really well right now, so it does seem counter-productive to take me off the meds while they are working, but it has to be done. We'll see how it goes.
Nothing has ever been as bad as the traffic jam we got stuck in outside of Chicago - went 3 miles in an hour - but the ones outside of the university can get really bad. I could do just fine never being stuck in one again, thank you very much.
Roo is feeling better. His eye is finally open instead of squinty and swollen shut. I guess the weird scifi blood eyedrops worked! (so weird though!)
Well, sexual partners and sexual health can be directly related to your overall physical health. Sleep with the wrong people, pick up diseases, that sort of thing. It's also probably a measure of your risk. It would of course be higher having sex with men rather than women. Of course you can also get diseases from lesbian relationships, but in the scheme of things your risk is increased with heterosexual sex as a woman.
Well, sexual partners and sexual health can be directly related to your overall physical health.
And I would get the question, if there had been more sexual health questions on the list. There were three questions - 'Are you sexually active? Are your partners Male or Female? and What form of birth control do you use?' So I could be in a long term loving committed relationship with a man for the last ten years - (pretty low chance of diseases then) - but none of their questions really covered that. No 'do you practice safe sex' or 'how many partners do you have?' or whatever.
Idk, I just felt like for a sexual health section of the form, it was very lacking. They won't really be able to tell much about my sex life based on those three questions, because really, I could say I was Married, using birth control and my partner is male...and my husband and I could be going to orgy parties every week and not using condoms.
It was all just very weird. Health surveys questions are so all over the place. ;)
Roo has a lovable face, thank you! His momma-cat was the prettiest cat I have ever seen and of all of her babies, he looks the most like her.
Yeah, the medical situation feels like I can't win. Go off the medicine, risk liver failire. Stay on it, risk cancer. And people are always like, 'What makes you think you won't live to be a ripe old age?' and I just roll my eyes.
You should write some Beckett/Harkness to take your mind off of it! :P
*hugs* Medicine can be far too confusing, but I hope that there's a good solution.
I have internet in my place though it took ages to set up, I feel this is how everything for this move has gone. Nothing is ever simple and taken care of in just one or two steps, its always multiple steps.
You can't win with medicine, man. Thanks, yeah, crossing my fingers that tapering off the meds will work out.
Nothing is ever simple and taken care of in just one or two steps, its always multiple steps.It has to even out eventually, right? I mean, you are in the apartment, have your stuff, have internet...shouldn't it all settle down soon? I'm thinking, by the time Christmas break has come and gone, you should be somewhat settled - at least at home if not at work. Though work does sound like it is settling a but. Just realized, You haven't even been there a full semester yet - doesn't that seem weird? Seems like you have been at this job for longer than that now. Here's hoping things level out soon

My sister was being a smartass one day and she says to The Nephew, "Aunt A says I think I'm cute, but I'm not. Is she wrong?"
His response, "Probably not."
