Falling Apart
I'm having a not-so-awesome bout with my own health.
In addition to the foot pain I've been bitching about (feels like a bruise in the ball of my left foot, no idea what happened), my wrist pain is back in full force, after two years pain-free there. So, that's awesome. I had my annual gyno exam this morning and also found out I have an ovarian cyst, which is largely harmless except maybe it could rupture and I could hemorrhage. And it can be really painful at times. But the doc says it will go away on its own. Or if it doesn't, they'll drain it, but give it a few months. Unless it ruptures, in which case I'll know, and go to the ER.
But I'm HIV negative! (Not that I was concerned otherwise...still good news, though, right?) Fun fact: when I texted Z to tell him I was HIV-, the phone suggested the next word (and this was the only word it suggested, in fact) should be "BIG-TIME." All caps, just like that. I wonder how many people are typing HIV-BIG-TIME into their phones these days.
Anyway I'm healthy, but not really, but I'll live. Until I don't anymore.
