And So It Begins

W (who is still in Kuwait) went to the gym this morning while I had a ton of medical drama involving no actual medicine taking place near me. He did not bring his phone. Which resulted in me leaving thirty-two-hundred-fifteen texts for him to CALL ME.

When he did call me, he told me he had left his phone back in the barracks.

To which I responded:

"Right. Because it is not like you have a wife with a brain tumor or anything."
Zing! You like? I just threw it right out there.

Can you imagine how awesome I will be once I finally get a real diagnosis? Break out the shrouds and the wailing, people, it will be ON!

PS: I gave eleven vials of blood to the lab. Want to see my black arm?

Nice. Real Nice.

I'm really only in it for the life insurance that I (unbeknownst to you) took out on you.

Mwa-ha-ha-ha!

Carina said...

Nuts. Nuts I tell you.


And you will make a great Abuela.

How is it that I can be concerned about your health and laughing so hard at the same time? You do this so well.

You have bested me in the blood-being-taken category. Congratulations. I hope they find something that they can easily fix with you. But something you can still milk for pity once W is home. That is the whole point to being sick anyway, to get pampered. It's kind of a waste to be sick when no one is around to pamper you.

I agree w/ the above. Save the really good stuff for when W gets home and can sing you another spiritual and hand feed you grapes and wave palm fronds over you.

That said, I never did really understand why they need so much blood...

dastew said...

Wife is that a knock on me going back to work the day after your surgery? I think I owe you flowers or chocolates now.

I know the blood secret, but I'm keeping it to myself.

Still shaking?
Still making people's day?
Still no diagnosis?

Damn.

Kalli Ko said...

do you have any blood left? i mean maybe the plan is just to slowly bleed you dry and the shakes will starve themselves to death...

here's hoping for a diagnosis before it gets to that

Fig said...

Yes, please, to the black arm.

The good news is, vampires will probably pass on you. So there's that.

La Yen said...

Fig, I will take a picture.

B, I learned from Scrubs that everything comes down to poo. So I don't understand the blood so much.

FINALLY got the MRI approved, so that will be taken care of next week.

Carolyn, I like the cut of your jib.

And KK, I do have some blood left. It is forming bruises on my sad little arm. And boiling. Because it is in the eighties here.

Anne-Marie said...

I would have been milking it weeks ago.

Good on ya.

(yikes, though....hope it's nothing serious)

Major props on the guilt-tripping ;)

Geo said...

You're good. Really good.

Be WELL too, soon.
