meh.

is what me and my brain and the rest of my body kind of say.

It sounds silly/terrible, but my butt (me bum?) hurts from the anti-nausea shot they gave me (get one before each IV treatment) yuck.

This is the first day in a really long time I've been on a lot of intense migraine drugs (see norflax: crazy muscle relaxant). Ever had your head messed with with INTENSE muscle relaxers? my guess is that it equates to being on a lot of illegal narcotics. maybe that's why so many people like them. It dumbs down enough of your brain so that you don't think about all the different, zany, irrelevant thoughts we have a day. oooooh. so this is what it's like to have less brain power (i dont mean this uppity-ish at all). You have so many less worries because your brain in this condition can't possible comprehend them all. the 'other' things. What other things? See, they don't exist. : ) ok, so slightly sad when you can kind of grasp that there is something murky in the shadows your brain is trying to grab on to (try having an intelligent conversation like this!) but it can't.
I suppose if one chooses this state voluntarily (see pot smoking minions) then sure, hey it's great. free and easy (you can't remember your cares), you feel relaxed and can just let go.

heh. no, not really a 'heh.' more of a hmm -_-. `_`. `o`. -_-.

I didn't really have appropriate words for that phrase.

So this day has involved many a different doctor. many a same story simply being told to a different doctor. A GI doctor with aspergers (really, I swear! though he did get 'friendlier' as it went a long and he was good) , an endocrinologist who thought he was coming to treat a patient for obesity (!!), a psychologist (ok) and a psychiatrist (two thumbs down), followed by a little too much graham cracker eating. (I was hungry! and all the fruit was gone...) a couple I have yet to see... PT? troches for throat stuff?

That's really it for my day. I was trying to work myself up to go exercise on the exercise bike all day. But first it was: they just gave me more muscle relaxant, there's no way I can exercise. then somehow it became later and I got the oh so wonderful Norflax again (so no exercise after that! see previous sentence). then headache worsening. and now it's 10. and well, sleeping sounds good... though I think that's partly the migrane induced fatigue talking. (not to mention the IV meds I just got hooked up to don't travel so well) ah. well...

some personal hygiene sounds good. (anyone have any floss?) : P

signing off for now.
