looking a little sick

"You don't look sick"...Pssht Unfortunately over the last 2 weeks I have developed a foot issue that has me limping, bracing and at times using crutches. It has resulted in me looking a little sick. Especially if you know me, as I'm a very active and at times somewhat of a theatrical type of person ;)

I've been to my GP and am patiently waiting for a referral to a foot specialist. Of course the question popped up, as expected "when was the last time you saw your Rheumatologist" ..."eh, a long time". Not because I don't want to (well maybe) but now that I have some kind of state crazy welfare insurance I can't go see the one that's been through it all with me. Which means I have to start all over with my story and that exhausts me just thinking about it. Oh yea! I have to actually pitch my case and wait to see who chooses to take me as a patient now. Yes, this is real life! Hoping for the UW. My old Rheumie graduated from there and is still very close to the Rheumatology Dept. Although who knows?! Is it the Behcets or isn't it? This seems to be the question I ask myself a lot when something strange starts to happen.

Oh wait! I have good news!!!! The CT Scan on my bladder came back normal, maybe cause I'm the queen of *normal test results with fucked up body parts*? Haven't had any infections lately either though...maybe it's moved from my bladder to my feet? ...maybe I'm getting old? ...maybe it just likes to play musical body parts? ..maybe maybe maybe???

That's enough for now. PS. I'm only 32 ;) ...not even close to old!
