Pic of the day: Somehow I think I would not look this good with a burst appendix. But something strange is going on down there. So, I dedicate this entire entry to whining. If you don't want to read, there's plenty of better stuff in my archives.

The "drama" goes on...

Today when I woke up, I felt no pain in my side, for a wonder. So of course I did the right thing and did not call the doctor. And then, after work, I celebrated by buying a hamburger, the first for at least a month.

Needless to say, as I write this after midnight, I have some pain and running bowels. And I have no way of knowing if it is just the burger or whether it is related to the problems I've had these last two months, or (most likely) both of the above. At least this is the first time the pain has spread out to the back of my right side. It has always been to the front or really low in the side. Now there is a large diffuse patch of pain in my lower right back, but it feels like bowel pains not muscle pains. It is most certainly related to the other trouble I have had lately.

But had I called the doctor during office hours, I would have been healthy as a jumping salmon. Had I actually managed to get into the doctors office, I would most certainly have got another star in my hypochondria book. This is getting really frustrating. Either doctors have to change their opening hours, or I need to sleep during the day and eat during the night. Not that I would mind at all, but my boss might not be happy about it ...

And now I lay me down to sleep.
