The title is an effort to elevate the mood around here (which is to say, in my head). After all, what says "humor" more than a list of geriatric-leaning ailments?
If there's anything I'd rather hear about on a blog than someone's medical difficulties, it's probably gooey, bad smelling, and many legged. However, when you're preoccupied with the searing pain in your gullet, it's hard to ruminate on economic policy.
I've been having stomach pain for a while now. It kind of hung out on the backburner for a couple of weeks, in a lazy simmer, but now it's like the dial's gone up to 10. I have a doctor's appointment bright and early tomorrow morning to try and get some relief, but I'd be lying if I said I wasn't at least slightly freaked out by it all. I have a rather not-at-all sexy intestinal condition to begin with-- it's the reason I had a c-section, and will require surgery at some point-- and I'm a little scared that "at some point" may be "NOW."
Of course, maybe it's just an ulcer! *throws party*
I'll update when I know more. I'm hoping whatever it is, it's not serious and easily taken care of and won't require setting foot near any sort of hospital. In the meantime, I'm just going to be over here doing helpful things like Googling "colon cancer."

Do not google! Google is not your friend in these situations!
Sending healing prayers your way.
ah babe
I hope it's nothing bad- fingers crossed!!! xoxo
In a way--heh, in a HUGE way--I'm really glad that our mother was a classically trained, long-experienced nurse. Otherwise, I can only imagine how many times we would (a) freak out over nothing or (b) nearly die from not noticing some obvious warning sign or another. Yes, yes, I do remember that one time. But the track record would have been REALLY bad!
I agree with Wendy....Google will make you crazy when it comes to stuff like this...before you know it you'll have diagnosed yourself with some west-african sleeping intestinal sickness curable only by drinking warm bat blood.
Hope you feel better soon! Linked from BlogHer ads and will definitely be back!
