Whoo Hoo!

just a little patting myself on the back but between Nanowrimo, 70 Days of Sweat and ficfrenzy I've written a total of 102,792 since November 1st. I think my fingers have fallen off. Thanks to everyone who stops by to give me encouragement. about half of this was original fiction, the other half fan.

and I so totally need to get me an 'excited' icon

OMGWTF Holzer Hospital?

Not only did they lose that one lab I told you about. Holzer's lab TOTALLY lost one of the 24 hour urines (the one that would determine if this was a cancerous tumor or not!) How do you manage to lose two labs?

Needless to say the endocrinologist was no more pleased than I was. Ridiculous. The tumor isn't putting out any cortisol (so I can't blame being fat on that one). But it IS putting out aldosterone which is another hormone that does, among other things, blood pressure (mine isn't high, btw). SO I have to go on a high salt diet for two weeks to see if the tumor can be suppressed or not or if it'll need to come out.

Watch my eyes light up. Eat MORE salt? My favorite flavor in the world? By God just watch me. How much salt doc, huh huh? A teaspoon? Um doc, that's me cutting OUT salt not adding more... He just gives me a look. But on the good side, if you have an aldosterone producing tumor it's non-cancerous so yay.

i should know better

than to do those memes because now I have rabid plot bunnies all over and I STILL have to finish my holiday promises. SHoo bunnies. I know how to make hasenpfeffer.

Oh and I had asked mom last night if I a) had left my army duffle at home b) left my new black yarn shawl there.

Got a phone message from her. Not only had I left those two things there but also jeans and another sweater. I was informed I could no longer be trusted to do laundry by myself. And what can I say? I apparently can't. Best part is I thought I came home with a full complement of jeans...so whose do I have?
