Not much to say

Uh, I really don't have much to say here. I mean, my life has been pretty plain these last few days. Other than lots of writing and sitting in front of the computer I haven't been up to much. Have I been productive? Yes. Is it really that interesting to talk about? Probably not.

Unless you want like a second-by-second monologue of how I typed paragraph after paragraph on a keyboard. It would probably read like a bad fanfiction if anything else.

Insert reaction from my followers.

Unfortunately, all the interesting things that happen to me will happen at the end of the week. Like the clinic appointment that I got. I'm an getting an echocardiogram which is basically an ultrasound for my heart. I mentioned before how I think I figured out the cause of all my health problems and this will be the first step to determining if my doctor friends and I have been correct.

And then in April, I have an appointment with a specialist who can have the final say. But you know what the great thing is? Even if I'm correct, even if I do have this genetic disorder, there's nothing they can do for me. There is no cure.

Anyone who guesses correctly what it is gets a shoutout. Otherwise I'm keeping my mouth shut unless I've confirmed it.

In the meantime, you can go into WebMD and input all my health problems.

In other health related news, I think I ate something bad because right now, my gut is in a lot of pain. Kind of killing my productivity because instead of typing, I'm clutching my stomach. No idea what it is, but what I do know is that I'm in a great deal of discomfort.

Maybe I should call off drinks with an old friend tonight.

Nah, I'll be fine.

Hopefully.

  1. I have no idea what illness you suspect but I hope you are OK. There's no cure for my genetic illness either, but I fight it and try to work around it, and I hope you can, too.

  2. If there's no cure, I don't want you to be right.

  3. That's not good about the gut man so hopefully you feel better soon. Reading week doesn't sound much fun but it's a building block and that's the most important thing about it dude, sometimes we have to go through points in our life that are unmemorable and dull in order to get the good high points. Enjoy your drinks as well, hopefully you don't end up being too sick or something though, I reckon you'll be fine personally anyway.

  4. Even if there is no cure, I think it is actually better to know for sure what you do have, and maybe there is something that makes it manageable at least. For a lot of things without cures we usually have something to make it more manageable. Well done on being so productive though, it's something I have failed to be.

  5. Gut pains suck indeed, no idea on the health thing, at least there is something in knowing though.

  8. I'm not even going to attempt a guess, either about your heart or your stomach. Hope for the best!

  12. If there is no cure, I hope the problem can be managed or controlled so your quality of life improves.

  13. I agree with Mark...it's best to have a diagnosis so you can avoid any preventable complications. I know you're tall, so the only genetic disease I can think of is Marfan's...

  14. Even if there isn't a cure, knowing what it you might be able to look up what ways to help manage it.

    Hopefully your night with your old friends turned out well :>
