Head, Heart, Hands

[clevermanka]

You know how people say every day above ground (or upright or whatever) is a good day? Well fuck a bunch of that. Yesterday was a shitty day.

After I sobbed for half an hour (actual broken sobbing interspersed with coughing fits from so much drainage from the sobbing), I scrubbed my face and went to work, where I eventually wound up with a migraine and by 5pm I could barely stand.

When I got home, I went to bed and slept for about half an hour. mckitterick and I had a dinner date with some friends and I tried to rally for that, but before the food came, I felt the nausea coming on and I had to ask him to take me home. I went back to bed and slept for another two hours. I woke up for another thirty minutes or so after he got back home, managed to get a few bites of food in me, and went back to bed.

Woke up this morning with a bit of a headache still and called in sick. Spending the day in front of the computer is not a good idea. I probably won't be back on much today, so I might not respond to comments here in a timely fashion.

Since my local doctor's office can no longer do blood tests requested by my naturopath and KU Med still hasn't called me back regarding an appointment with immunology or the doctor redheadfae mentioned, it's time to call this fight. As soon as I feel up to making a phone call (maybe after lunch), I'm ringing up my PCP to request she send stuff off to the Mayo Clinic. I've done everything I can at the local level. Let's see if the big guns can/will do anything for me.

Today's Tumblr collection is Tuesday, September 30: Hands.

*hugs* I wish there was anything else I could do, but I am thinking of you. If there is anything I can help with, please let me know.

You know what I like about our relationship? That we are both so fucking exhausted and worn down for different reasons and we live in the same damn city but we only see each other like three times a year because neither of us has the energy to go out much, but we both know, we know that when either of us actually calls in that favor, the other will totally come through.

Thank you for being a really great person.

Aww bebe, thank you for being a great person and a great friend.

Also, I checked out your Tumblr for today, and the finger puppets that look like tiny hands are cracking me the hell up. :)

Holy Kamoley. :( *pets your head*

All my Be-Smart vibes are being sent to the Mayo folks. I really hope they can help.

[clevermanka.livejournal.com]

Oh god, ME TOO.

[shanmonster.livejournal.com]

I sure wish I could magic you better. I'd even kiss the Devil's asshole to get you the favour, and that would be raunchy.

Since that's not really an option, all I can do right now is show you this video which I know you enjoy.

Literally, seriously, honestly, swear-to-god laughing out loud now. THANK YOU. Man, that video. NEVER GETS OLD.

WTH, why isn't LJ taking my choice of icons the first time I post a comment? It's just using the default icon and making me go back to edit the comment every damn time.

[mckitterick.livejournal.com]

This made my day, thank you.

[siro-gravity.livejournal.com]

When I saw your icon I was excited I would get to post with one of my gun icons. But then I read the entry, and you can see my idea of icon changed.

You are so sick. :(
I hope the folks at Mayo can solve your problem.

HEY!! WHERE'S MY KITTY HUG??

eta: I can't post with my kitty-hug?? ok, well then:

there's more than one way to skin a cat!!

[clevermanka.livejournal.com]

See? What's up with not getting to pick icons! ANNOYING.

Also, gun icons are ALWAYS welcome on this blog. (I had to edit the comment to give you this gun/bacon icon)

[siro-gravity.livejournal.com]

that's awesome!!

I'm ringing up my PCP to request she send stuff off to the Mayo Clinic

It sucks to go remotely, but I'm also glad you are willing to.

My SIL eventually had to go be treated at Beth Israel in Boston. Having to occasionally fly for treatment is inconvenient, but she did find help for her condition, which is now manageable. She hit the Mayo Clinic first, and they did help to discover what was wrong that local doctors couldn't, but they didn't have resources to help her, but they were able to tell her where the specialists were that could.

Every symptom you've mentioned lately, including the crying, is pretty much like being pregnant. And dealing with that day after day after day is draining. I hope that the Mayo clinic has the answers!

You have all the perfect gifs.

*enormous hugs* Some days are like that, even in Australia. I'm so sorry it was such a horrid day.

I'm also sending super-competence vibes to the Mayo Clinic folks. I have high hopes for them based on how useful their website is for writing. Well, and y'know, the Mayo effing Clinic. Here's hoping their reputation will prove to be well-deserved.

*more hugs* And another silly video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bQU4mjE2pQA).

This world could stand more armed wiener dogs, I'm telling you.

[mundungus42.livejournal.com]

Oh, ARMED. I thought you said ARMORED!

Oh man, mine's bad enough with just her tail and massive digging paws. It's a good thing my mom's stash of illegal fireworks is in IL and not with us in CA.

[clevermanka.livejournal.com]

JESUS CHRIST.

Okay, well now I'm saying the world could stand more armored wiener dogs because that is fucking adorable.

[redheadfae.livejournal.com]

What a rotten, shitty day. I'm so sorry, hun.

[clevermanka.livejournal.com]

[theoneinblue.livejournal.com]

I so, so hope the Mayo Clinic responds swiftly and decisive to help you. Sending love!

[write-out.livejournal.com]

FUCK EVERYONE!! Except for the Mayo Clinic. Time for the big guns to clear some shit up!

[msmitti.livejournal.com]

mostly just getting in on the gun icon and have mayo clinic kick some immune system ass.

I'm sorry for the shitty day.

[msmitti.livejournal.com]

my watson icon didn't work either :(

[pointoforigin.livejournal.com]

I am so sorry. That sucks in such a big way. It is a suckage of indescribable magnitude. Oh Mayo Clinic, please really exist and know something. It is like a magical realm of health care, unlike these realms of woe and stupidity down here. May the unicorns of the Mayo Clinic be with you!

[clevermanka.livejournal.com]

May the unicorns of the Mayo Clinic be with you!

My new favorite image.

*gentle hug*

I'm serious: let me know if there's anything I can do, ok?

[clevermanka.livejournal.com]

Thank you, bb!

*points a threatening finger in a random direction*

Mayo Clinic! You are on notice! Work some magic science over here, got it!

[clevermanka.livejournal.com]

[seascribe.livejournal.com]

*hugs* Thinking of you, and really hoping the Mayo Clinic can find some answers for you.
