Is that a light? Nope...

OK, so I've been to the surgeon and back to another specialist (hematologist) and now the diagnosis is unclear, but both the surgeon and hematologist said they could help me. Back to square one, and to top everything off, about a week and a half ago, my right side starting hurting really bad (felt to me like a kidney stone), but we haven't found the cause (although there are multiple tests that have indicated problems).

Never a dull moment trying to find out what exactly is happening to me, but eventually I'll get there. Eventually.

So in summary, no surgery, no firm diagnosis, more pain. Awesome.

Long Road, Short Legs

Well, first of all, I've finally found a decent iPad app that will let me post to all my blogs, so hopefully I'll be a bit more active.

I will be keeping this update brief, I know a lot of you have been wondering exactly how I've been doing, and to be honest, not too good. There have been so many medical and emotional roadblocks in the last six months that I often think that I'm in a dream world just waiting to wake up. It's painful, it's emotionally trying (for my family too), and worst of all, it's depressing. They keep finding more wrong, or slightly switching diagnosis, and it's frustrating.

On Friday the 13th (omen?) I go see a surgeon about fixing an extremely rare (and extremely painful) hernia. It sounds like he's going to operate no matter what, so I have that fear in the back of my mind.

Crazy. Anyway, Gaming Together podcasts were put on hold because I was physically unable to stay seated long enough, but now we have planned out the next episode, so we should be recording soon, and regularly. That's it for now, more to come soon.
