Re: Getting better?

Wed, Aug 18, 2010
woo, so this week... welp, still not much better. still getting horrible sleep, so I'm so tired to the point where I can't really think, and I'm fighting to stay awake... :-/ however, I got my test resultzorz. heh, Wish I took a picture of the doctors "impression": so. we had zone conference last thursday and afterwards we had some stuff to take care of, like car inspections which were at the dealership and by the time we figured out where all of the keys went and why there was a missing set, and pickin' up my "new" bike. (not that it really matters, neither of us have helmets and Elder Lehr doesn't even have a seat for his. (stolen)) so we're going to continue using our car for now. but, we had to go and pick it up from the zone leaders in their apartment (in ponce). so, we figured hey. we're in ponce, lets go get my results. well, by the time that everything was taken care of, and I got my bike, and we got to the hospital, archives was closed. YAY! :D so we had to go back the next day and get them. so, results: after I picked 'em up I opened 'em up. and then I pulled 'em out, and then I unfolded them, and then I read them. well, I discovered that the testicular scan that I had was an unremarkable scan. even worse, I took a look at my renal (kidney area) scan... apparently it was so unremarkable that it was gross! DAH!!! it said "grossly unremarkable renal scan." great. so there's obviously nothing wrong there, if it was so unremarkable it was disgusting. I hope no one threw up.

but yes. things have unfortuantely changed to the point where I'm almost completely sure that its another kidney stone. which sucks. but I'm hoping that it's already made it past the difficult part and is just taking its sweet time going through, instead of getting stuck at everyones favorite spot: the ureter! :D

yeah, Yauco is a pretty small place. but we have a Big K mart and a sweet grocery store called "Mr Special" alright! but no Walmart. we do have the basic fast food necessities, not that I really feel up to eating out anymore. now that I feel like crap all the time, I don't want to feel even more like crap after eating fast food, so I've been trying to cut it down to a minimum. we also have another even smaller town that's attached to our area because they are included in our branch. the branch is pretty small here. we've only got about seven priesthood holders, and two of them are priests. but, the branch president's son has served a mission, and he also has another son out in Mexico right now with about a year left.

ah, the neighborhood garage sale. well, I hope that you don't sell any of my stuff. >:( that just wouldn't be very nice. :P
hey, I got the pics you sent, but they were all so small! :'( I DID find you in the crowd though! :D hidin over on the right side near the bottom. what was that a picture of? it looks kinda 90's ;)

yeah, I just don't really know whats going on. ESPECIALLY since, jjust like you said, I love talking with people and everything. I just don't get it. I don't know if it's connected with the lack of sleep, and I hope it is, cause that means when I start getting more, everything will smooth out. did you know that doctors can't tell the difference in Brain activity between a half crazy person and a person that isn't getting enough sleep? yeah. learned that last sunday in the gospel principles class: Word of Wisdom. great. thats comforting.

emailing steph back and forth? I have no idea what you're talking about. thats ridiculous.

so yeah... basically I'm just gonna be fighting to keep myself awake so that I can at least say "hi" to people for this week... I dunno. just one more thing for me to cause a problem with.

but yeah... gah! I keep fighting to try and come up with something to write, but I'm just running on empty so my minds just blank all the time, :( but, I'm trying. thats what counts, right?

so yeah, we'll see if things go better this week. I'm trying harder to focus myself on whats been going on here more than just replying to your email, so this week I'm gonna write down specific things I wanna go over, that way I can remember them in the computer lab and not spend half my time thinking. :D

well, I think I'll go with that fer now!

I love you more than I need sleep and a clean kidney. you got any spares handy?
