Guts

As in mine aren’t working right.

I am not inserting disgusting details here. There will be appropriate medical testing next Friday, and I sincerely hope some diagnosis for something I can change. No one is worried about anything serious here, but we have to treat it like it might be serious and do the maximum testing first. The doc has a few theories, among which are infections, conditions, and plumbing.

The fun part of all of this is that I get in for testing so quickly because no one wants to get tested on Friday the 13th. I suspect that if I have a problem of any sort, I’d still have it on the 12th, or the 14th. Honestly, I’ll never know for sure, but I have my suspicions.

Watch this spot for a diagnosis. Meanwhile, I continue to distract myself by writing and reading and working. Like Karaba the sorceress in Kirikou and the Sorceress I will not tell anyone what is wrong with me, but I would like to have the thorn that is deep in my back removed.
