I’m starting to seriously contemplate putting my doctors on speed dial. However, I don’t want to encourage any notions that I might be inventing medical problems for attention, because you know what’s more fun than seeing doctors and accumulating medical bills yet again? Almost EVERYTHING ELSE IN THE WORLD.
Since I seemed to be finally back to normal last weekend, I’ve been trying to ignore any pain I’ve had in this past week for the most part, because how can it be possible that I’m not healed yet? Can’t I make myself better from sheer force of will?! No?! Argh, fine, I guess I’ll schedule yet another CT scan then, as suggested by the urologist, although the fact that it’ll be my fourth in less than two years freaks me out ever so slightly.
The silver lining is that I now have advice and opinions on various hospitals and doctors in my area. Need to figure out where you should go or who you should see (in Northern California, around the South Bay)? I likely can help!
(Oh, and thanks so much for the supportive messages and comments, by the way. I do appreciate them, especially in light of the fact that I’m finding myself increasingly obnoxious in the midst of my neverending litany of rants/vents/complaints. It’s like verbal diarrhea.)

Not obnoxious. Just frustrated. And we’re hear to listen, so let rip when you need to.
Feel better soon.

Still supportive over here. It flat-out sucks that you’ve had to deal with so much medical stuff recently – don’t feel bad for talking about it. It’s what’s going on! It’d be hard to ignore.
Big hearts to you. (And yes, I totally should have gone to Dooce’s book signing at Powells last Monday. I don’t really know why I didn’t.
)
Dude, what is going on with your health!? Wasn’t it, like, two years ago that you started having serious issues? Has that STILL not been resolved???

Not only has -that- not been resolved yet, but in the meantime, my kidney decided at some point to formulate a stone and create a whole new series of problems. Wheeeee. My blog has now become something like this: sick. Still sick. Still sick. Doctors. Hey, I’m bett — oh wait, never mind. Sick again.
