I've been feeling like crap the last few days because I've been pushing myself a little (mostly just long hours) and have been in a ton of pain (most likely) becaue of it. The doctors upped my sleep medication, so even though I wake up every hour due to the discomfort, I'm able to get back to sleep fairly quickly. I suppose that's an improvement (although I'm definitely a lot “dopier”) but really there are two things right now that make me feel better: winter swimming and exercise (although if I'm really hurting I have emotional trouble with exercise, like I'm going to start crying like a baby or something when I'm having trouble… dunno why). I read this goofy craigslist post and when I got to “pretty girl who is head of the writing department” it made be think of Rachel and I went from mildly amused to lonely.
I hope I don't seem like a whiner when I write this stuff, becaue I don't really mean to, and I'm not down about it in person. Over the last couple of weeks I've met a few people with way more serious issues than me — I mean, sure I may have cancer, but I've already survived it, so now I just have a broken leg really — and I've hugely valued them being candid with me about how they've dealt with issues in their lives. Anyway, if you're one of those people I really appreciated it.
Tomorrow morning I have my CT scan (finally, and thanks to Saira for helping me out with some babysitting), and then I meet with my surgeon next week. So I guess there's something in my file that changed things from “we'll make you an appointment in the new year” back to “this guy's on an ASAP basis”. It'll be nice to finally know what we're dealing with.
Other than that, according to a poll that CBS did back in July, a third of all Americans believe that the US government was behind the 9/11 attacks or allowed them to happen (because we've never seen that in government history, right — The RMS Lusitania, The Reichstag, Gulf of Tonkin, Pearl Harbor, etc.). Coupled with the fact that now one in thirty two (seven million) Americans are either currently in prison (2.2 million there) or on current parole, for any old crazy crap, even like being in pain, I do wonder when America will finally revolt, even if it's just far enough for old-school liberty…
