ice, ice baby! (a.k.a. little health update)
Guess who's been suffering from back/abdominal pain for days, has been to the doctor twice, taken several medications and still hasn't found out what the hell is going on? Yup, that's me, folks. :(
Most of the pain is localized in the lower right side of my abdomen, so I'm thinking it's either my appendix being particularly naughty or adhesions from the operation I underwent three years ago, when I had a tubaric pregnancy. An infection is also possible, given how often I travel abroad and eat/drink/pee in public places like airports and bars. In any case... BAD, BAD BODY!!!
I'm waiting to see a specialist on Saturday and in the meantime I do what I can to minimize the pain. Yesterday, for example, I had two meetings with Chinese customers in Milan and spent the whole day with instant ice packs tucked in my underpants! Hopefully, the customers didn't notice the small bulge on the right side of my hips (it was well hidden), but just thinking about it made me laugh.
Let's just hope it's nothing that's gonna land me in hospital, because I hate those places and really don't have time to take a break from work to listen to my crazy body. *sighs*
