for the past few days i've been suffering from a swollen ankle, sore knees, a sore thumb and slightly sore elbows.
notice how all those are joints?
i also have these weird red bumps on my leg..not on top of the skin like an insect bite, but underneath the skin.
i, of course, went to see the doctor who didn't know what the matter was but did prescribe an anit-inflammatory drug and described the biggest bump as, "interesting". blood letting and peeing in a cup were next on the list, followed by making another appointment.
i hope it's not serious, but there's nothing like a physical reminder that the warranty is coming due.
and that's what is new in the life of mea. i've been tired, but at least my back is better..just in time for this new bodily bother to make itself noticed.
that was then
in three days i will have been a non-smoker, not one fucking cigarette, for one year. i am proud of myself. very.
if i hear, think or say one more thing war-related i believe i'll scream. it is such brainslushinducing stuff, but perhaps a scream might be just what i need anyway.
