Rain over the Mighty Ohio

[cornerofmadness]

Every time I have to drive up Route Freaking 2 which is penned in between the mountains and the river it rains. Whee. My appointment went well. I like Dr. Helgi Sigmundsson (Helgi was gender neutral as far as I knew since I had no clue what kind of name it was in Norway. Male as it turns out.) He is an immigrant judging by the accent. He's my age. We graduated at the same time from med school. He was honest. He LISTENED to me unlike my last gastroenterologist. He wants me to have an endoscopy which I knew I needed and a colonoscopy which I passed on because I was NOT driving 70 miles with a system full of a shit-making medicine on a road with zero rest stops (as I left I noticed THREE hotels right by the clinic. Fair enough I'll keep that in mind for next time because I would have to do that). Now to either find a friend to drive me or get mom down here.

He gave me a few suggestions for the break through pain. Might give me more zofram for the nausea and was honest. He's not sure if I can have the surgery I think I need with gastric paresis. You can NOT vomit after having the surgery and paresis makes me vomit a lot. I'll have to take to a surgeon because if it's possible to have the surgery, it would fix a lot of my problems (and probably reduce my weight since part of my stomach would have to be used to great a new valve for the non-functioning one I have).

I stopped at the mall and was kicking myself. I have TONS of Macy's coupons and forgot them all. They had the cutest damn sweat shirts. I would have gotten them for the holidays. Also they had soft, fuzzy adorable footie pajamas and I thought about evil_little_dog who is forever cold. I wasn't sure if she'd love them or drive here and kill me.

Then my GPS freaked out. All I wanted was to go to Outback which is just outside the mall because I wanted to try their new surf and turf dinners and it put me on I-64 toward Charleston (I think having THAT many red lights so close together freaks the Garmin out). And being West Virginia there is NO PEOPLE and no way off the damn high way for nearly EIGHT miles. GAH. Worse, the surf and turf was disappointing once I finally got there (.6 miles from my original starting spot. SHould have just gone to the damn Chile's).

Tomorrow I have three freaking appointments to keep. Whee and SHOOT ME.



Nano Snippet - Something a little earlier. Back to the first meeting between the two men (I might have posted this already but I'm too sleepy to go back and look)

There was nothing else Aneurin could do now but face the young man he’d been given. The Toymakers had sent him nearly naked, adorned with several necklaces of Zabetian glitter-stone and an improbable privacy cover that defied classification as an article of clothing. Luminescent green cloth as gossamer and brilliant as a butterfly wing wrapped over the Toy’s belly and hips. It did little to hide the sway of his genitals as he padded closer to Aneurin, his feet bare.

The Toy sank to his knees in front of Aneurin, so he must have been shown a holo of whom he was being given to. He canted his face up to Aneurin. Eyes, an inhuman color of sapphire, glared up at him. The Toymakers might have been able to dress him up, but they hadn’t ground every bit of hate and defiance from those slit-pupiled eyes. So, he was half Mishani. Of course, leave it to Pherick to remember Aneurin’s professional – and sexual, if he was honest about it - interest in hybrids. Aneurin’s gaze slipped from those fierce eyes, moving down over the young man’s fine features to the delicate leather collar around his neck. From it dangled a charm bearing Aneurin’s house symbol. That was just too much, probably part of Masozi’s bells and whistles. He didn’t want to own a sentient being, damn Pherick. What was that idiot thinking?

I'm glad you found a good gastroenterologist. It's always a relief to find a doctor who listens.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

yes it is. The one locally rushed me out of his office twice, did nothing and once actually sat there looking at his watch.

I have a 35 year history of GERD, you'd think he'd want the money of doing an EDG but no.

FOOTIE JAMMIES. FOOTIE JAMMIES.

Good luck with all your appointments.

I'm glad your doc listened to you and laid it out straight. That's really good.

I like the imagery in your snippet.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

What size?

Thanks. it was canceled. sigh

yes, I liked my new viking (a rather small viking mind you)

thanks. Yay for me doing description for once

[evil-little-dog.livejournal.com]

That's a good question. I don't know if they run large or small and I can wear anything from a small to an XL at this point...

SIGH.

Yay for new vikings.

Excellent description.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

it's hard to say about hte pjs

yay for that

[kiramaru7.livejournal.com]

YAY! for findi8ng a good doctor! I hope he can help your stomach issues.

I hate it whenever I forget coupons cuz I never intended to go to where I'd need them. XD

Interesting snippet! I'm loving this form all those lil bits I've read. :D

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

me too. There won't be much he can do if I can't have that surgery down the line but at least he's trying

I can't believe I forgot those stupid coupons (AND my quarters for the laundry today!!)

thanks. I'm glad you liked it. I will finish blood red in a few!!

[kiramaru7.livejournal.com]

I hope you can get the surgery. It's good he's trying. :D

XD It sounds like you're having one of those days. XD

You're welcoem! YAY!! You're doing awesome!!

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

the surgery scares me a little with the 'no vomit' rule as I get stomach viruses all the damn time

i am.

I haven't writtenin 2 hours. pouts

[kiramaru7.livejournal.com]

Aaah... that would be scary. Sometimes you can't vomiting. ^^;

Awe... *huggles*

That's cuz you're letting the ideas mellow. :D

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

yeah exactly

Aw that's generous of you but really I'm just playing around on FB and making up my holiday wish list before my brother's brain explodes

[kiramaru7.livejournal.com]

*nods*

That still counts as letting the ideas mellow & take shape in the back of your mind. :D That must be some wish list. XD

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

ahhaha okay I'll go with that.

He won't tell ME what he wants but I have to write out a list on Amazon and THink Geek for him

[kiramaru7.livejournal.com]

*nods* :D

XD Well, at least you'll get something you're sure to love. :D

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

that's what I told him when he said 'but now it looks like i put no thought into it.' WHo cares. Get me what I want. When you guys think, you tend to get me some WTF stuff

[kiramaru7.livejournal.com]

Awe... *huggles* At least he knows what you want/like so that should reduce the WTF-ness, ne?

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

we should hope so. I always fear when someone says 'I've got you the perfect gift'. They're super excited about it and then you see it and it's like what ddo you think I DO? that I'd like this

[kiramaru7.livejournal.com]

Yeah. I've gotten a few of those too & I never know what to do with them. XD

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

yeah because you know if you get rid of them they'll be hurt

[kiramaru7.livejournal.com]

Exactly! So you display/wear/use whatever it was that they gave you. XD

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

yep at least for a while...

[kiramaru7.livejournal.com]

*nods*

[dragonydreams.livejournal.com]

I'm glad the doc you saw was a good one.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

thanks, me too

[mamculuna.livejournal.com]

So glad to hear you found a doctor you like, and that he's listening (a great thing for doctors to do). Hope so much that his tests find something he can do to help, and that there's way to have the surgery.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

thanks so much. I'm okay if the surgery isn't possible. I'd be MORE okay if my insurance wasn't a douche about the meds. But it would be good to know if there are ulcers again
