Yep, I'm still sick.

My biggest fear is if it's the superbug. What a lot of you may not know, is that I have staph-induced psoriasis. I just got done with a really bad psoriasis flare, and I'm hedging my bets towards a staph flare. Blech. All I know is that I've had a five-day long headache, I'm totally off my feed, my stomach hurts, I'm sleeping all the time, and my back is killing me more so than normal. I'm going into the doc's tomorrow, and hopefully will find out what the hell is wrong.

I'm personally thinking it's viral meningitis (which is slightly nicer than bacterial meningitis) or the stomach flu, but the puzzle pieces aren't fitting in quite right for the flu.

I just want to get better, and inasmuch as I hate work, I really do miss doing something useful.

Please pray for healing of some kind. I just want to get better, and get back to some idea of normalcy.

Calontir Facebook Group

Dear Gentles:

I'm not sure if this has made the rounds yet, but the Kingdom of Calontir now has a Facebook group. It's not very active at this writing, but we are gaining members at almost a weekly basis.

If you are interested, please click here. If you are not a member of Facebook, you will need to join, otherwise, membership is completely open.

If there are any further questions, I would be delighted to field them.

YIS,

Instructions

Step One

- Make a post (public, friendslocked, filtered...whatever you're comfortable with) to your LJ. The post should contain your list of 10 holiday wishes. The wishes can be anything at all, from simple and fandom-related ("I'd love a Snape/Hermione icon that's just for me") to medium ("I wish for _____ on DVD") to really big ("All I want for Christmas is a new car/computer/house/TV.") The important thing is, make sure these wishes are things you really, truly want.

- If you wish for real life things (not fics or icons), make sure you include some sort of contact info in your post, whether it's your address or just your email address where Santa (or one of his elves) could get in touch with you.

- Also, make sure you post some version of these guidelines in your LJ so that the holiday joy will spread.

Step Two

- Surf around your friendslist (or friendsfriends, or just random journals) to see who has posted their list. And now here's the important part:

- If you see a wish you can grant, and it's in your heart to do so, make someone's wish come true. Sometimes someone's trash is another's treasure, and if you have a leather jacket you don't want or a gift certificate you won't use--or even know where you could get someone's dream purebred Basset Hound for free--do it.

You needn't spend money on these wishes unless you want to. The point isn't to put people out, it's to provide everyone a chance to be someone else's holiday elf--to spread the joy. Gifts can be made anonymously or not--it's your call.

There are no rules with this project, no guarantees, and no strings attached. Just...wish, and it might come true. Give, and you might receive. And you'll have the joy of knowing you made someone's holiday special.

( Everybody! All I want for Christmas is my two front teeth... )

Health update

Isn't it ironic, don'tcha think?

Yeah, so the one day I actually start feeling halfway human, is the day I had my appointment with my doctor. He's improved in bedside manner, thank goodness, but it still didn't help things out.

First off, poked and prodded. I went ahead and wrote down my symptoms since Wednesday, which did help. So, Dr Holly got my full list of migraine, nausea, upset stomach, lethargy, the feeling of needing to sleep for more than thirteen hours, coughing, low grade temp, and the sudden pain of a stiff, painful lumbar and neck.

So, after that, poked in my painful back (that wasn't fun), then, it was off to pee in the cup. That was not fun, especially since I was bone dry. So, I stood there for a good while drinking water while the nurse watched. Ah, there's nothing like bringing back memories of those scary-as-Satan-and-Snape school nurses. Anyway. I peed in the cup, and got released with a prescription for my back pain (500mgs of Naproxen, twice daily, for twenty days, plus an optional refill) and a diagnosis of, "it's viral. I'm not sure what exactly it is, but it's viral." He even wrote "viral...something" on my chart. When I get the call about my blood work, I'll know more, but I've got to head back to work tomorrow.

Bleh.

I still feel horrid, but not as badly as before.

And to think, my biggest fear was that they'd do a lumbar puncture.

Silly imagination.
