Doctor visit yesterday went very well indeed. He's one of those doctors who *likes* informed patients. No, I do not have lupus. (It's never lupus!) (I didn't think it was, but a friend wanted me to check).
But. I do indeed have plantar fasciitis. I also have bursitis in my hips, irritable bowel syndrome (high comormidity with fibromyalgia), and a resurgence of my tendonitis, this time in both hands.
What am I, ninety?
Warmth and exercises were recommended and demonstrated. An antiinflammatory and muscle relaxant were prescribed, the latter with the goal of eventually replacing the Lunesta, which is wearing off sooner and sooner these days. And I have a better idea of the level of exercise I need to be doing. And *not* doing.
Fell asleep in the car last night, and was in bed by 9:30...

How well are you capitalizing on this year's unique opportunities, Pisces? Now that we're almost halfway through 2007, let's take an inventory. I'm hoping that six months from now, you'll look back and say something like the following: "To my astonishment, this was the year I beat 70 percent of my fear of success and dissolved 80 percent of my tendency to sabotage my ambitions. Not only that. To my great satisfaction, I shed 70 percent of my martyr complex, lost 75 percent of my fascination for glamorous suffering, and smashed 85 percent of my perverse attraction to the victim archetype. This was one of the Best. Years. Ever."
I returned Pronoia to the library, as I can tell it's a book I'll need to own...
Hee!
I love it that, when you spend time conversing with an attractive gentleman away from the maddening crowd at Diesel, everyone assumes you're "in negotiations" with him, as one friend put it.
I find it twice as amusing that one of said gentleman's lovers actually came over to recommend him to me. :)
(No, we were not talking about That. Dance card still full. One friend: "But if it wasn't full?" Me: "I don't know! I can't even *think* like that right now!" *laughs*)

And if you want your donation to go to just one of the organizations you can instruct us to do that too. "
...if they *have* pissed you off that much? Go donate to one of those four anyway. And tell LJ you did it instead of giving the money to them.
* Speaking of which, the crazy-ass "Warriors for Innocence" group? They have not given up.

Each of us is a singular crowd – a walking, talking, air-breathing, waste-producing assemblage of microbial organisms.
Your body consists of 100 trillion cells, give or take, but they're in the minority. Each human is also home to, among other things, an estimated 1,000 trillion individual bacteria, or 10 times more microbes than human cells.
From their kids' guide to summer science series, but not condescending or silly.

Curves, with the rheumatologist's recommended stretches worked in between stations.
Possibly the mall, to run a few errands.
Pharmacy, to get my new drugs.
Packing.
