good and bad
i don't have crohn's disease or colitis, yay! but we still don't know why i constantly feel like someone is shoving hot pokers into my stomach.
next week i will have an ultrasound of my gall bladder, liver and pancreas done. luckily, i don't have to drink 2 pints of water directly before going in like i did when i had the ultrasound of my kidney done last year. that was no fun. i like to be able pee whenever i want. i'm no good at holding it in, just ask my dad, he learned that very valuable lesson when i was about 5 and he didn't listen when i asked him to stop tickling me.
i'm still just generally a grumpus. i'd very much like to be totally physically well again without worries about my joints or my stomach or what i am and am not allowed to eat.
grumpus grumpus grumpus.
i should knit myself a sweater that says grumpus

Fingers crossed - its probably from not having any delicious American food lately... All will be fine.

I too would sometimes pee when tickled. Thankfully I grew out of it. Maybe we can mail you some White Castle to make you feel better.

I invite you to join me on the Grumpus-exorcising Liver Cleanse 2007. It means having no delicious-yet-terrible food for two weeks and feeling like total crap for at least a few days when you're first detoxing but then it gives way to a light and clean and happy feeling the likes of which I can hardly describe. Until I inevitably slide back down into the dirty sludge of alcohol, sugar and fat.

also NO WHITE CASTLE! Taco Bell is encouraged but white castle is satan's work!

Not really so much hippie stuff...but weird stuff like flaxseed oil and evening primrose capsules and lots of lean protein and veggies. And fruit. That's important. I can't get behind a diet that doesn't include fruit.
