Sick again
Some type of viral thing...
Sore throat, runny nose, sinuses, coughing, pain more of the usual.
2 Weeks ago went to the doc to find out why I keep getting sick lately, they took some blood but I never heard back so I didn't worry too much. Went back yesterday (needed another med cert for work) and I got the results of the last test.
My liver function is in the toilet and is probably the cause of my problems, seems I picked up some form of viral hepatitis, its not as bad as it sounds, just a distant cousin to the nasty ones, A B and C, but it is fucking with my liver.
The tests they took yesterday will determine if this is the problem or not. If the results are similar to the last then they have the cause, if the results are back to normal (remember this is just a virus and you can get over it like any other) then they need to send me to a immunity specialist to check out my immune system, yay...
I gotta admit I am a little worried about this, not scared as such but certainly worried. One good thing, I can now (almost) put a cause to all this damn sickness, its not in my head after all :)
Very busy day at work today, did everything from patching a couple of phones to chucking out old phone books. It was my first full day on my own as WFP Minion, I get to do all the cool stuff when the WFP isn't there, well the cool stuff and throwing out the phone books heh.
Not much else going on with me so I leave it there.

The itsie bitsie spider...Iraqi style.
They run 10 mph, jump three feet, are a nocturnal spider, so only come out at night unless they are in shade. When they bite you, you are injected with Novocain so you go numb instantly. You don't even know you are bitten when you are sleeping, so you wake up with part of your leg or arm missing because it has been gnawing on it all night long. If you are walking around and you bump something that is casting a shadow over it, and the sun makes contact with it, you better run. It will instantly run for your shadow, and scream the whole time it is chasing you.
P.S. The one on the bottom is eating the one on the top. These are Spiders found daily in IRAQ by troops. Imagine waking up and seeing one of these in your tent!!
