"I just want to be okay today."
I've been sick for the last two days.
Despite that always coming down with something on the weekend is extremely inconvenient when it comes to visiting a doctor, I opted to go to the Urgent Care clinic. Why? Because, while someone might mistake my symptoms for a stomach virus or food poisoning, my instinct said it was something else. That's why.
Dr. Russian agrees. You know what he thinks it might be? Phantom gallbladder pain. (Or gastroenteritis. Or an ulcer. Or, or, or. Or you should probably go to your real doctor tomorrow. Oh yeah! Or you should definitely go to the Emergency Room if you start vomiting blood.)
The phantom gallbladder pain is the best, though. And only because, since I enjoy being a medical anomaly, I recently teased that I would be growing a second gallbladder soon. It would match my second set of wisdom teeth. And the constantly-replenishing-every-seven-years, not-supposed-to-exist tissue in my knees.
Whatever it is, I need the symptoms to go away soon. I haven't been in such excruciating pain since... since... I had a diseased gallbladder rotting inside my body.
Fuck you, doctors! Fuck you.
