Gallstones & Puppy Kissing Diseases
I thought maybe a health update was in order too.
My MRI came back all normal. Well, except that I have gallstones. Huh. The GI guy said I need to have my gallbladder removed. Gosh, I wish someone had told me that before. ;) Anyway, no renegade gallstones; they’re all in my gallbladder, huddled together awaiting the big surgery day.
The surgery is now scheduled for March 23rd. The surgeon had to be out of town on the 16th. Oy. But at least my mother is coming to visit and now at least I won’t be spending my birthday recovering from surgery

Stress, Procrastination, Paralysis
I’ve been completely stressed out lately. Stressed to the point of being overwhelmed. Overwhelmed to the point of near-paralysis.
I spent a rather eye-opening hour with the shrink last night who pointed out how connected my home-related stress is to my work-related stress is and how it all is just merging with my Winter-related depression and weighing me down to the point where I’m allowing myself to live up or down to whatever expectations certain people have of me.

I’ve been seeing a GI Specialist, you know, and he happened to notice that no one followed up on one particular piece of blood work after my visit to the ER in December when I had my Gallstone attack. Something about some liver enzyme level or something being high. Anyway, this could apparently be a sign that

The Choices I Make
I apologize for not at least popping on and saying that I survived the norovirus and that there was an epidemic at my workplace. I have no idea who the carrier was but a bunch of us came down with it all on the same day, but that Thursday afternoon we were all quite ill. There’ve been some trailing illnesses but it seems to have completed its course through this office now.
But that’s not what has kept me away.
Let me explain about the Daylight Savings Time “issue”. Remember how panicked everyone was about Y2K? No one knew what was going
