Life Update by Zannah

I should use this more often. I'm still getting over the sick that kept me room-bound during FC. The cough is slowly receding. I'm still having fits, particularly if I move around a lot, but it's slowly getting better. The saga of my messed up uterus continues apace. Turns out my pap smear was a false negative and I have pre-cancerous cells on my cervix, which will require a minor surgical procedure to remove and correct. Haven't scheduled it yet, since I have to wait until my current cycle finishes first. Joy. My doctor is maintaining thus far that everything wrong with me is more or less correctable, so I'm going with that for now. He put me back on a low dose birth control hormone to try and help alleviate some of the pain I've been dealing with. So far it hasn't made much of a difference, but I've only been on it a week and a half. We'll see. If I seem snarkier than usual, that's probably why.

I've gotten some art done, but haven't gotten around to posting things yet. I want to do a little more work before I do. We also had Nyil crashing with us most of the past week because he had no heat or water at his place. :( Much as waiting for repairs sucks, it was nice having somebody to hang out with. Usually I'm such a hermit. I rarely get to do much socializing. We did a lot of Netflixing and youtubing and drawing stuffs, and making foods. It was pretty awesome, actually. =3

We got another foot of snow overnight, which should be... fun. Not. I couldn't manage to shovel the last blizzard's worth because of my cough, and my snow blower's broken at the moment. u.u Hopefully I can get things cleared without collapsing or anything drastic like that. I expect I'll be taking a lot of breaks. I guess Chicago's making up for last winter's lack of snow.

    I remember back in 2011, I got a particularly nasty strain of stomach flu that took about two weeks to get over, but that's nothing compared to cancer/pre-cancer, so you have my sincerest sympathies in that regard, as having lost two grandparents to the disease, I know that is no minor health issue to have to deal with and I wish you the best of luck to get better. But good to hear that you seem to be in good spirits regardless of both your cold and bad weather and I hope both situations improve for you soon enough.

      I'm determined not to freak out over it, because I know that won't help. We don't have the whole picture of what's entirely wrong with me yet, so there's not much point in wild speculation. There's also an unknown mass on one of my ovaries, the composition of which has yet to be determined. At my age it's probably not cancerous, though we don't know for sure yet. We're sort of taking it one step at a time.

      I watched my father go through, and eventually pass away from, cancer when I was a kid, so I know full well what could be in store if we end up with a worst case scenario. I'm hoping for the best, though. Right now, worst comes to worst, they might need to take out my reproductive bits, which I'm fine with since they're malfunctioning and I wasn't planning to have kids anyway.

    Urgh, you have EVERY right to be a bit cranky with all that going on! Wow. I hope you feel better and get all fixed up soon. That is a lot to deal with all at once. Hang in there!

      The last six or eight months have just been one thing after another, health-wise. It's like I hit my 30th birthday and my body just gave itself permission to have a complete breakdown. u.u It'll get better, I know it will. I'm just, well, sick of being sick or broken.
