Okay.

Twitching jerking hell has lessened, but GP agrees we are no longer in totally mild MS territory. I limped home with CT scans showing my lesion still there - but not bigger, no lumps etc.

GP has tomorrow off, but will ring neurologist anyway to get my appointment as soon as possible. And if various things happen I need to get to hospital. Not that we have a diagnosis, but I'm told that MS drugs are much better, no longer cortisone, and that IF this is full on MS I can still live a productive life!  read more »

I am in twitching, jerking hell. It disturbs people when you tell them that your GP is tomorrow, and you are crossing your fingers that it's something like a stroke.

I am broke, but had a mission at the CD store. So I got CDs, naturally. Also got 3 tickets for VNV Nation (yaay!, assuming I can still stand in August).

I still have a CD on order, but am told there has been some kind of shipment damage. Not yet sure whether my item was affected.

CDs are:
Meat Beat Manifesto - Autoimmune, and Subliminal Sandwhich
Decoded Feedback - Overdosing
Test Dept - Proven In Action
Icon Of Coil - One Nation Under Beat & Seren EP
Various - Electropolis Volume II

Stuff also happened at work... I really need to not be twitching tomorrow. All day training on large account.

Of all these damn appointments.

CT scan tomorrow. I must be an expert because I don't say cat anymore. Whatsisname turns out to have had a CT - so I asked him a heap of questions.

This evening was dentist again. I found out today the reason she could fix my teeth when all the other dentists said nothing could be done - it's because she's secretly a maxillofacial surgeon! Came from overseas, aced the exams here, found out there was like a seven year 'trainee' type period, decided to be a dentist. But she is qualified to teach some surgery here.  read more »

I can't be fucked with a proper update, so this is just venting. I guess it would include maddening clues about what would be in an update.

Today on the train home I was wondering whether I could really put up with living here. If I can, I could save tonnes of money.  read more »

If Anyone.

I think I partly stuffed up. Know I did. I think the rest will turn out to be new super fund, which is really sad. In their favour they handled me saying how annoyed I was with whoever did this very well. Service is much better than AMP, by miles. I think I'm out $50 to get $500 back... and I think the fault is mine and new super fund combined.

We'll see - but I was pissed as hell this morning.

In other news - waiting to see my GP because I have reached denial about having MS. I make a very good case for denial, and MS is not dead set as no spinal fluid test.  read more »

I can't resist posting the conversation. It's like me telling people to piss off home.

I hurt my shoulder on the way to work. It really, really hurt, so I left early to go to the doctor nd spare everyone my whining. I got fancy pain killers, and turned down an X-ray. But they gave me an X-ray referral in case I change my mind. If my shoulder was broken, I would be screaming instead of typing this.

When I got home I did some work email, even though they have threated to take it off me if I use it. Which strikes me as silly, but they say it's for inter-office type access.

Work to Lynne:
if I see emails from you tomorrow I will find out where you live, hunt you down, rip your gammy arm off and beat you with it!

Lynne to work:
Thanks X... um - for threatening to hurt me. I think I could take you, but I appreciate the thought

I am cracking the sads and need to see my GP. Not because I am sad - but because I am sad because walking home from the station was a bit... sad. In sneakers - got home and realised I couldn't even blame my footwear.

I like doing sentences with multiples like that.  read more »
