Good News!
The drug dealers downstairs moved out. So our apartment is now ever so slightly safer.
Also, in my health--or lack thereof--news, two weeks ago I had a sigmoidoscopy, which is a lot like a colonoscopy except not as invasive. And I woke up in the middle of it, which was not cool. The doctor concluded I have proctitis, which sometimes goes along with inflamatory bowel disease (like Crohn's etc.), which explains why I've had pain and bloody diarrhea recently--so, she upped the dosage of my meds, as if I wasn't taking a ton already, from three horse pills a day to four.
I've also been taken off of my progestin injections and put back on regular birth control pills, because apparently the bleeding and cramps I've had were due to the shots themselves--or so my new gynecologist supposes. So far, I'm doing okay. I think.
And, I'm just getting over a sinus infection, which had me bed bound with a splitting headache and several bouts of chunk-blowing most of last week. I seem to be doing better now. Let's hope that lasts.
Also, our couch--which I have deemed The Ugliest Couch in the World--seems to be on its last legs. A couple Thursdays ago, I sat down on it to tie my shoes, and it collapsed under me. Actually, it didn't just collapse--it wobbled a bit first, and then very slowly sank to the floor. So it's kind of going out with a whimper instead of a bang. This is a third-generation couch by the way--it used to belong to my grandparents. And, like I said, it's the Ugliest Couch in the World. And right now, its legs have been removed, so it's like an oriental couch, at the risk of generalizing--or, you know, like a couch from one of those countries where they sit really low to the floor. Once you sit down on it you'll dislocate your knees trying to get back up.
Anywho, that's what's up at the moment. I have a lot of work to do for school as well, considering I've missed a lot of class, what with bleeding rectums and blowing chunks. I do not as yet have H1N1, but if things continue the way they have been, that'll probably be the only thing I don't catch by the end of the year.
