Update/bitch session
In the past few years I have been having issues with my digestive system, the Dr’s are unable to find out what is causing them and I have undergone allot of testing. Earlier this year I had a CT scan, during it they found stones in my Kidneys and a lump in my liver. (And nothing that would create my other issues)
So when I started peeing blood a week ago Thursday I knew something was coming, but little did I know the pain that was in store for me. I have had pain and uncomfortable ness in my abdomen for years now, I hardly notice it other than the occasional worse morning. So when the discomfort in my Bladder started I hardly noticed it, then the pain moved much higher into my right kidney and became intense. The week before I had an Endoscopies with ultra-sound to examine my pancreas and other organs that area. I think this loosed up my stones and set this into motion. Any how, Friday morning I get a call that the show Gomi Style or Masters Of Junk has been canceled by the network and the premier of Green Planet pushed back until June? Great, we were scheduled to start shooting the next week and several weeks of work have already been done to prepare for this. At least ‘we’ still own the show and have a very nice package to present to some other network.
Saturday morning I get up to move some one off CL and am in a lot of pain, I push through and get her moved just before the pain gets debilitating, I am gifted Codeine cough syrup and that takes the edge off for the evening. By Monday I am in mild pain again but not as bad, and I am able to do some work around the Catwalk to pay some of back my rent.
Halloween I am to finish moving the same CL person and I once again am in pain passing a stone, but I am able to get the job done before crashing at H2Oboy’s place.
As I am writhing around the darken living room floor I can hear Trick-or-Treaters knocking, I wonder if they could appreciate the true horror of what I am enduring on the other side of the door. Much scarier than zombies or monsters, real agonizing pain, pointless torture, a grown man crying… The cough syrup is not doing it, I have access to nothing stronger and cannot afford a prescription for pain killers even if I could get one.
Friday I am once again in pain, still having to deal with out meds, I am fortunate to be given a Vicodin, at the ‘wrap party’ (more like a commiseration/bitch session for the crew of the show.) and it takes the edge off. Later I go to a second party and feel rather dissed by someone I like, not even a hello. I just wanted to catch up and return a tool left at my place long ago. Why is it so hard for people to play like adults?
I get home late, and cannot sleep, my head is thick with uncontrolled fast thoughts, making focused work impossible but not allowing for sleep.
I finally crawl into bed, and rest for a few hours only to wake up with quickly building sinus pressure. Migraine lasted until early Sunday morning. It was one of the worst I can remember, first in 10 months. More pain, this time in the head, completely debilitating and causing me to vomit uncontrollably for most of the day. Sunday I was able to rest some and get a little work in.
This has left me feeling very broken and like a walking time-bomb of pain. I cannot take much more of this, hopefully the stones are over for now, I plan to see my DR next week about my stomach issues and possibly he will have the report from the CT with how many stones and where they were.
Right now I feel ok, got my appetite back, and am looking forward to going down to LA for the AFI DigiFest. Sparky is on the bill for Thursday with Marque giving a presentation and showing his Telecommunication Robot, along with the usual crowd interaction. I also hope to see some other friends while down there.
Then this weekend I am to help SRL unload the container from Robodock.
