I can't recall the last time I spent so much time sleeping. I skipped out of work after an hour or two because I was feeling about as bad as one can feel and still be able to drive. When I got home, I went immediately to sleep. Then I woke up for a few hours, played some World of Warcraft, then went back...

I'm pretty sure I have/am developing fibromyalgia. I'm in moderate to severe pain ALL THE TIME now. Most definitely TMI to follow, hence the cut. Don't say I didn't warn you.

I think I was definitely sleepwalking last night or yesterday.

What leads me to this conclusion is that my shoulder is partially dislocated, my face is bruised in two places, my eye is irritated, my lip is swollen, and worst of all, three of my upper front teeth are extremely chipped, almost down to the gum, in a kind of circular pattern.

I think at...

It's not a kidney stone.

I just returned from EJGH, where I spent approximately five hours, mostly waiting. I had a CAT scan and some doctorial prodding, along with 30CC of tramadol, which didn't help even a little. It turns out that it's a lumbar strain, probably received when I was changing the tyre on my car 24 days ago, which only just got bad...

And they can't really do anything about that, can they, except drug you up? And it lasts f'ing forever. Christ that sucks.

(Sorry, I should probably be more like: 'oh you'll feel grand in NO time!')

Transportation TIP: make friends with Taxi drivers. Of course, the only one I know is moving across the country this week, so I need to follow my own advice...

AGGRH! I'm pretty certain that I have a kidney stone running laps up and down the lower left side of my abdomen. IT HURTS A LOT. Vicodin isn't helping it, either.

I'm debating whether I should go to an emergency room after work, because of the immense pain going on in there, or if I should just wait for it to pass (ugh). It's been...

So, maintenence is supposed to be here today to replace my fridge, which has been bleeding rust water for months. Though they said they'd do it today, I'm not going to hold my breath waiting for them to show up, given their past non-punctuality.

I went out Saturday night, as planned, although a little later than the agreed-upon meeting time (I slept through my 6:00pm...

Gah. Too much bad shit going on this week. Moreso than most previous weeks combined. I think I want to die, although, admittedly, the chances of that happening are probably pretty slim.

Nevertheless, it's a crutch the hold onto when the going gets rough.

To wit:

• I received an email from an ex-girlfriend that I hadn't heard from since 2003 this week, which has...
