the once and future tropie

So last night around 2 in the morning, I went in to the hospital because I was having severe abdominal pain and was worried it might be my appendix. It turned out to be a badly pulled oblique, which is less dramatic, but still painful, it turns out!

I'm not afraid of hospitals. I've been to a lot of them in my life, because I have a terrible immune system and tend to have weird medical issues, and I can always answer the nurses' questions with medical jargon, but I still always try to weigh the costs of going in vs can I just deal with it. I'm glad I went in.

Now: I'm going to go lie on the couch for a while.
