That time yesterday when I couldn't have an good old all-out feel sorry for myself cry? That's all over now.
Gary and I were discussing my health concerns I was having my health concerns dismissed by Gary and he said "... and frankly, I think it's just grotesque you're having some woman massage your vagina!" ("MY vagina!" Gary's penis said loudly.)
And then the term hypochondriac was tossed around, then I said several hypothetical insulting things about his epilepsy (prefaced by "How would you feel if," which does make it hypothetical, only, not really.)
So I am ignoring my hot red hard lump in my calf (deep vein thrombosis) and my squeaky exhalation sounds (pneumonia) and my not paying attention when I drink fluids (dysphagia).
I mean, for fuck's sake. It's hard enough to take care of myself without someone saying I'm taking too much care of myself.
Gary's being a prat (again). You're allowed to focus on your health concerns, which are real. He needs to get over it. Prat, pillock, twat, wazzock and fuckwit. You can tell him I said so.

Gary is an ass.

Sigh.
You wet yourself when you choke. How is that not a real problem.
Also, if you really do have a hard, hot, red lump in your calf, please get it looked at right away. I had a DVT in my thigh that broke up, sending a clot into my lung for the much-feared pulmonary embolism, and it really sucked. They kill about a quarter of the people who get them, if untreated.
I'd rather know that you were a hypochondriac than that you were dead.

Big dot - prat! Fabulous term!
Becs - big ass.
Tami - Jesus! I'm going at 1:00 on your recommendation. I knew that but I was ignoring it.

God I am so sorry. Give Gary a swift kick in the rear from me.

Hattie - well, he was very concerned when I called before my LEG HAD A DOPPLER ULTRASOUND which did show I do have a clot in an unimportant leg vein. So I hesitate to kick with that leg or put full weight on it.

How can a leg vein be unimportant? Weren't they all put there for a reason, even if it's only backup?
Posted by: Becs | September 27, 2011 at 03:14 AM
Yay, non-lethal problem! I'm very glad you got it looked at right away.
Posted by: Tami | September 27, 2011 at 10:51 AM
Becs - well superficial. Shallow. Overly concerned with appearances
Tami - I appreciate the warning, I really do.

I'm like the blood clot awareness committee, or something.
Posted by: Tami | September 28, 2011 at 09:50 AM
How deep is YOUR blood, how DEEP is your blood, how deep IS your blood (clot)?
Everyone sing it together now!

Tami - BCAC
Caroline - did you know the next line is "I really mean to learn?" I only hear "I ee-ee eeee to eeee."
