Two holiday posts back to back, a month apart, with zero writing updates. Uh-oh. I do have an excuse this time – unfortunately, I’ve been sick for pretty much the past month, and the doctors I’ve seen have yet to pinpoint exactly why yet. But I’m being taken seriously, which pleases me, and undergoing lots of tests, and I’m hoping to get some answers at my appointment on Monday so we can really move forward in 2019. In the meantime, here is a list of what I DON’T have:
- Lyme Disease
- Cytomegalovirus
- Hepatitis
- Herpes
- Chlamydia
- Gonorrhea
- HIV
- Malaria
And probably a couple more I’m missing. I was really concerned about those last two, let me tell you. (Okay, not really.) The mono report was iffy – one doctor said I had it, another said I didn’t, but when I saw an infectious disease doctor and he got the lab work, he was the tiebreaker and said nope, not mono. Right now, the theory is I’ve got an abscess or something similar lurking somewhere in my abdomen, and we just have to track it down.
So there’s my dramatic life for right now. I haven’t felt up to writing, but I am finally getting the chance to do some reading for pleasure, which I might post about soon. Anyway, I hope you all had a great holiday season, and let’s look forward to an even better 2019!
