It's been kind of a long day so far.

OH MY GOD. NOT FUCKING FUNNY, UNIVERSE.

40 DEGREES IS NOT WEST COAST CANADIAN WEATHER. EVER.

I spent the day tromping about in this heat. My face has taken on a red cast, and I'm hoping this doesn't mean sunburn, but at least I'm pretty sure it doesn't mean sunstroke, because that would suck SO VERY MUCH MORE

Optimus sounds like Optimus = Same voice actor

Reason they came here in the movie =/= Marvel Comic reason =/= cartoon v1 reason =/= cartoon v2 reason

Mmmm ... beef

[soberloki]

Beef good. Transformers fun. Voice actor YAY!

*pouts* I guess since the diabetes diagnosis the eye thing was a possibility. But the reality of that possibility looming SUCKS SO MUCH. Is there a chance it was just you reacting to being STEAMED ALIVE?

When do you find out what happened to your shoulder? If x-rays don't help maybe a physiotherapist will. I've found people who administer treatment tend to be so much better than actual doctors at this stuff.

And, um, I need help. Where can I buy a "Griffindor" tie?

[soberloki]

Hmm. Could be something like that, as I've had high BP in the past, but... he's pretty sure of his diagnosis.

Shoulder thing should happen in the next few days, or at least the reading of the X-ray and decisions on next steps.

Gryffindor tie? Heavens. One would think you might be planning to attend that big party in less than ten days... and I don't actually know. I mean, maybe there's a men's store/section with something appropriate? Sears, maybe? The Bay? It's been a while since I needed neckties for anything.

[spacewolfcub]

His diagnosis blows goats.

I need a Gryffindor tie, but not for myself. You know I would be either Ravenclaw or Hufflepuff. Anyways, so far the only ones I like are the deluxe ones at amazon.com but they're not like the ones from the movie. They have an extra little stripe, and I don't know if in the movie they had the House Insignia on the tip either.

There's gotta be someone around here somewhere that is selling those stupid ties!

Heh. At first I was all like 40 in the Summer? Well, it's chilly but jeebus not unheard of. Then it dawned on me... "OOooOOoooo ... c-e-l-c-i-u-s degrees."

So, I got the widget that converts units and discovered that 40C=104F - holy shit that's hot. You've probably got heat exhaustion, lesser than sun/heat stroke. I get really red if it's hot and I'm out for too long. Hubby says I just melt and turn into some sort of Linda Blair/Exorcist creature. Blames my Scandanavian/Celtic heritage, yes he does.

As far as your eyes go, have they done that computerized mapping of your eye's inners? It allows snaps to be taken, which can be compared over time. My eye doc does it. Also, they've been watching me for years for this since there's a strong family history of it and I've got higher than normal eye pressure. Turns out I've got thick corneas that affect the readings.

sucks getting older, doesn't it? ;-)

I feel pretty good, even considering how disgustingly warm it is here. I just woke up from about six hours of solid sleep, which is AWESOME for me in the summer.

Heh. I have a trick, though. Wet a tea towel, wring until no longer drippy, and lay this over whatever part of you needs it most. Lie down with a fan blowing along your body. If you stop feeling the effect, use a squirt bottle to refresh the towel. This is some EXCELLENT relief.

Doc wants to do the mapping thing. My eyes aren't uniform and one has higher pressure than the other, so he wants to get it mapped. He warned me about laser surgery to increase drainage, and it doesn't sound too horrible... but I'd rather not have to go THAT route.

Damn it, I'm 34 in less than six weeks. GAH.

[spacewolfcub]

You look 20 though.

[soberloki]

Flatterer. Go on, you can keep it up if you like! XD
