the latest news

I haven't been feeling at all well lately, for the past several weeks. So finally, last night, Erin and Margo managed to convince me that I really ought to go ahead and see someone at the Student Health Center to see if they can figure out what's wrong. They had already convinced me to get a medical exam, but I had figured that I would see My Brother The Chiropractor when I go home in July. But it's gotten to the point that I just decided I'd better see what they can say here. There was nothing that decisive, and we're getting some lab work done to see if that will help us to a more conclusive diagnosis. But ... it seems there's a good chance that it might be diabetes and/or other metabolism- and insulin-related problems. I'm not too happy about that, but I can't say that I would be too surprised, either. And, luckily, My Brother The Chiropractor has lots of great ideas for helping control diabetes without necessarily having to deal with the constant blood testing and insulin injections and such (depending, of course, on how severe the case is).

In the meantime, I'm still enjoying the graciously-lent Amelia Peabody books from Kimberly and generally feeling queasy, achy, and slightly feverish all the time. Oh yeah, and SUPER thirsty! And tired. Anyway... I'll be sure to keep the blog updated as I find out more.

Oh, and we finally got our internet router to start working again. We've had plenty of problems with our internet connections during the last week or two. Our ISP finally fixed the connection, but then the router wasn't working properly, so we could only access the internet from Erin's computer. That was all right, since there wasn't anything I particularly needed it for, and Erin has online classes she has to use the internet for. But today, finally, it's back working again. We don't even know why. It just decided it liked us again, I guess. Or that we'd suffered enough.

As many of you knew, the last quote was from "Kryptonite" by Three Doors Down.
