Ah, quiet blogging - every one, including me, has been a little lacklustre with the blogs, but today I shall attempt to write something of interest.
Censorship!!!!
A disgraceful display over at Rockenspiel's site today. After putting up an inviting poll asking which was your favourite album, many from blogs around joined in to vote. Alas, the poll did not go Rocky's way, and when Tori Amos took a triumphant lead, Rocky through a temper and changed the option from Tori Amos to something rude. Censored! I feel violated! Please join me in annoying him as much as possible by inundating his comments with protests for Tori's return. Thank you. Hee hee.
Old Crohn
As some of you will be aware, I received the lovely gift many years hence of Crohn's Disease. This delightful little disease fills my intestines with lots of lovely ulcers, but is great for dieting cause I'm not allowed sugar (not that this stops me - hallo!!!!). Anyway, I do pretty well, but I do have to go to the hospital every now and again for general check ups. This means sitting for 1/2 hour to an hour waiting for an appointment, having 10 minutes in with the specialist, then wait another 1/2 hour for someone who should really have stayed practising on oranges to jab me with a needle and take lots of my blood. I don't like needles in general, but bloody hell it hurt this last time. I'd love to give blood properly, but I barely cope with three vials of the stuff, never mind a pint.
Then of course you wait 45 minutes for a prescription! (??!??!?). I don't want to knock the people really - it's a shit job at the NHS, and they work frickin hard, but damn it, some frickin management would be nice. Some common sense even.
Not to mention the GP changed my prescription with no word from me or my specialist. I've been on a lower (and pointless) dosage for the last two months - go GP!
Anyway, in a bid to be more responsible to my body, I'm trying to stop the sugar intake. Because you see - sugar to someone with Crohn's Disease is like cigarettes to someone with lung cancer. I however, have a big sugar problem. I'm trying - mental strength required though - wish me luck!
