Going with the flow

Wouldn’t you know it today I’m all hyper. I LOVE YOU HORMONES! I am so just going with it…..

For a second round match I just watched a crazy awesome one between Alicia Molik and Serena Williams at Wimbledon. Serena is so dramatic I can’t stand her, but she won and is good to watch, it isn’t like she can’t play. Adam and I noticed during the French Open that the men were grunting like the women now and I think we were golfing at the time and had a whole in-depth discussion about how the men are doing it just to support the women and it wasn’t a funny conversation at all it was just a conversation about WHY the men might suddenly be grunting when they were trying to basically ban the women from grunting because Sharapova can break ear drums. And I remember it came up because when I hit the ball really hard I let out a little grunt and it is totally involuntary and generally results in a really far golf shot. At present Sharapova is killing some girl I don’t remember seeing before and there is actual sun in the sky.

ctpatient.gifToday I got my CT scan appointment and it is on July 10. It has to be at the far away hospital because I can get in there sooner. Now I assumed this yesterday but was still pissed about it so I feel bad calling my Dr. a retard. I didn’t mean it. But I don’t like the receptionist for serious. I was a receptionist for years I feel I know everything in the WORLD about being a good receptionist and she could use some work. I’d be happy to show her a thing or two and I don’t even like strangers or talking on the phone and I was still very good if I do say so myself.

I have to have the injection type CT scan which I was dreading as I had one in 1994 because of my headaches and I had a reaction to the contrast material containing iodine that they inject you with. OF COURSE only some small number of people have a reaction to it my Dad didn’t but that is just sensitive old me nothing I can do about it.

I had a another CT scan in 1998 when I came down with an extreme case of Labyrinthitis but I was so messed up I have no idea what, if and when they may have injected me with it, could have been aliens taking care of me for all I knew that is still the sickest I have ever been in my life. I remember all of it except the parts where I was passed out drooling down my face in the hallway of the hospital because they didn’t have enough beds. Oh Spockette thank you AGAIN for saving me that day.

Sweet, I thought I was going to have to go alone or Adam was going to have to miss some work to get me home but I have a girlfriend who is taking me to the hospital there and back, one less thing to worry about. I know I am 30 now and CAN go alone but I really didn’t want to.

    i’m happy you’re feeling better. and though CT scans suck majorly, having a friend there makes it seem like it’s a slumber party.

    i know. bad comparison.

    kisses from my island to yours. xx.

    Anything to do with doctors, hospitals, and tests freaks me out. I wouldn’t want to go alone either.

    I’m glad your bouncing off the walls, i had a glance here earlier today (yesterday for you) and didn’t get the chance to say that i KNOW you know you’ll be just fine-a-mundo.

    I think i have purveyed to you my philosophy of
    “If i was that ill i’d have keeld over and made a mess weeks ago!”

    …over the years and if you think of this as doctors taking every precaution to stop themselves from being sued etc etc…

    Whatever. What is all the fuss about eh? Me and you both KNOW you are 100% WICKEDAWESOMERAD!

    hormones.. or lack there of, suck. (i think i’m going through some sort of menopause right now) so does that labrynthitus.. i remember your previous post on it.

    on a lighter side.. i think you should grunt like Sharapova when you hit the golf ball.
