I finally know what's wrong with me. Amputation may be needed.

Hello, everyone. Did you miss me? I just got out of the hospital Friday afternoon. I'm okay. For now.

I last wrote about the ache coming back and getting progressively worse. I had an ultrasound at my doctor's office and was told I have gall stones. So that's the reason I hurt so bad sometimes I just want to hork and die. I had to wait a week (That would have been last Wednesday) for the 'official' results for the ultrasound and then they'd set shit up for me to get to a hospital so they can cut me open and take my gall bladder out.
Sadly, this was just not to be. I had another attack Monday night and had to be rushed to the emergency room.

Well, I was rushed there, but once I got to the damn place there was a lot of waiting to be done. You know how the ER is. You're not important unless you're dying or having a baby or missing part of an appendage. After that ordeal they saw me, stuck a needle in my arm and admitted my ass. I guess what happened was that the reason I was hurting worse and actually vomiting and all that shit was because my gall bladder was also now infected. They got that shit under control and I was allowed to leave on Friday.
Things aren't over, though, 'cause I still need this surgery like whoa. I have to wait about six weeks and then go in to Mo Val for the operation. I'm on a very strict diet now because if I eat the wrong thing (E.I. good things) there's a risk I could become infected again and all the mind-bending hurtingness comes back. I don't want that; I don't want it so much I called it hurtiness. Go figure.
The trouble with all of that is that I have no idea how I'm going to pay for this surgery. I've applied for this MISP thing (Read: I'm too poor to pay for this! Plz hlp.) which will cover just about everything, but if I'm not accepted I am royally screwed and you'll probably never see me again 'cause I'll have sold my body to science in order to pay for the surgery. Well, I've have sold my body to something. Anyshit...

Despite all that, I feel really, really good right now. I've been pain free for quite some time and I thank to good Lord every day. The diet isn't actually all that bad, but it totally means I'm gonna be losing more weight. I've already lost, like 20 pounds that I didn't exactly want to lose, so this might suck. On the other hand, prepare yourself, world, for a slimmer, sexier Serge.
The diet plan is kinda confusing though. The dietiecian gave me this sheet of stuff I can eat and stuff I should avoid. It's kind of murky and vague on a few things. Plus the nurses told me some shit that totally contradicts the sheet. For example, the nurses said no red meat, but the sheet has an example for, like, lunch and it has stuff like a grilled burger on a bun with lettuce, tomato and mustard. And I tried looking for stuff I can and can't eat online and haven't found a damn thing.

In much more fun news, I finally bought Mario Kart DS, and I'm currently borrowing Darren and Sara's internets and took that shit online tonight! If I can get online again, be sure to add my Mario Kart friend code!
Uhh, it's: 017310-096407
I raced some guy named Twinkle from who knows where, and I only lost to him by a couple points. Oh, well.

That's it for now. Comments, Preaze!

Wrong answer, bitch!
