Not a fan of my bad health

My health has completely been in the toilet recently, even more so than usual. I had mono, which I'm just about over, I had a huge freaking ovarian cyst that I had to have surgery to remove, and on top of that I had freaking pneumonia. But then there's the pain. So much pain. And the vomiting on a daily basis. Those have yet to be explained. I have to get an upper endoscopy and another colonoscopy next week to make sure there's nothing serious going on. Had a couple lumps in one of my breasts, which thankfully weren't cancer but still must be monitored. I'm also having an ultrasound next week of my gallbladder and other stuff in the region since my liver enzymes are (still?) high. So in a nutshell my physical health is a complete and utter mess, and my psychological health isn't much better. To make matters more infuriating, the health care in this stupid fucking town is so crappy that I have to travel an hour out of town just to see a gastroenterologist, but seeing as I have a history of having an enlarged liver, I don't even know that he's the kind of specialist I need to be seeing. What makes me nervous though is that Clayton's mom has cancer, and she and I have some of the same digestive symptoms. I think that would make anyone nervous. I'm done bitching. Just needed to get it out. Got to focus on my crochet. Working on a special project.
