What’s Up, Doc?

O.K. So, a little health update is in order.

I went to the GP last night — missed my stained glass class again because the doctor couldn’t see me until 7:45pm. After an examination, she decided that I probably haven’t broken anything, though if the pain gets worse or doesn’t get better by the end of the weekend, I have to go back in for x-rays. In the meantime, I’m taking valium 3 times a day for 5 days, I have a super-version of alleve that I’m to take 2 times a day for 7 days, and I have vicodin that I may take every 6 hours as needed.

Of course, I got out of there so late that no pharmacies were open as far as I could tell. This is the first time that the lack of 24 hour service has really annoyed me since I moved out of the City That Never Sleeps to rural New England.

So, then this morning, I saw the Allergist. They did the prick test on my back and my left arm. I look like I’ve been attacked by boxing fairies. Anyway, according to the allergist, I am not allergic to anything at all. In fact, he thinks I can’t possibly be in the 20% of the population that has allergies. Heh. However, should I have another massive attack like the one I had earlier in the month, I should go see him immediately so he can see it first hand and analyze what’s going on.

Ummm…yeah…

Oh, and I saw my shrink today. She wanted to know if the increase in Effexor dosage had increased my energy. I told her that it was hard to tell as I’d pretty much been sick from the last time I saw her. However I did mention that I was starting to get excited about writing again and I had read the whole Harry Potter book in two days — it’s been a long time since I’d finished a book let alone read one so fast. I think these are good signs.

Anyway I’m on the road to recovery, I think. Yippie.
