So the past couple weeks have been uncomfortable for me of late. A little while ago, I started feeling uncomfortable -- my stomach was unsettled and I couldn't really sit still. On Thursday the 2nd of November, I had a lot of pressure build up in my stomach while I was talking to one of the profs at Darse's free beer. The pain started around my waistline up to my chest. I excused myself and went to the bathroom where I relieved some of the pressure by throwing up. I still was in a lot of pain so Diane and I ended up catching a ride from campus security over to emergency where I would sit for 4 hours waiting (yay emergency!). By the time I had to talk to anyone, the pain was already fading and by the time I actually got to see a doctor the pain was just about gone. The doctor concluded that I didn't have anything serious like appendicitis because the pain went away too fast. Over the week since then, I was unable to keep much in the way of food down. I threw up three times over the week, and finally went in to the medi-centre on Thursday morning. Another couple hours later, the doctor I saw now has me booked with an ultrasound to check for gallstones. That appointment is set for the 22nd so hopefully we find out what the deal is.

The good news? The doctor gave me some anti-acid pills which seem to have helped me out. I've been able to eat some more complicated foods than chicken noodle soup, and have been feeling decent afterwards. I also haven't thrown up since then, so that's another good sign. So hopefully I'm on the way to getting better!

So now you know why I haven't really felt like updating the blog. I want to get back to it soon, so hopefully you'll be able to read more about my last couple weeks!

In the meantime, be sure to check out the new webcomic my friend JR and I are starting. It's the new webcomic link on the right: http://www.guiltypleasure.org. Comments are welcome of course! Heraldk
