Today. So far.

So I woke up this morning utterly convinced I had appendicitis. It was a stabbing, throbbing pain in the lower right quadrant of my stomach. You know how doctors ask you to rate your pain on a scale of 1-10? This was like, an 8.

I staggered to the bathroom - I could not stand up straight - and sat in a hot bath. Nothing. Dried off, lay down for a while. Nothing. Took my temperature (after I'd cooled off from the bath, doy) and I had a mild fever at 99 degrees.

Then I realized I 'd switched to ten-pound dumbbells (I lift weights) last night, after working out for months with 5-pounders. It was time to graduate, so I upgraded. I must have strained the shit out of my abs.  I walked around for a bit and the pain lessened, presumably as my abs un-knotted themselves.

Or else I do have appendicitis. I'm heading out to get some new pens so I can finish my art trade with lena56k. (All sketched, just need to ink and color!)  So I think I'll grab some Mickey D's, and if it comes up, or if my fever gets higher, I'll truck my muscly ass over to the ER.
