YoukaiSlayer 09/23/19 2:47:44 PM #156:	My medical saga continues. I got some good news and some bad news today. Well more like I got some minor bad news and I didn't get horrible news. My echocardiogram was scheduled for today and they put on my event monitor (no fucking idea why I had to wait a month for it. A nurse came in and showed me how it works in like 15 seconds). The good news is that the echo tech didn't have to call in a cardiologist during the echo. If it'd been obviously real bad, she would have, so I avoided one possible bad fate. I have to wait till roughly friday before I get the results unless they are bad in which case I'll get em sooner maybe. I'm honestly so scared of getting a call with bad news. The bad news I DID get was from the walk in clinic I went to on friday about my new sore throat and fever. Despite the doctor being convinced it wasn't strep, it was in fact strep, because doctors are trash (this is the second doctor in a row at the clinic convinced I didn't have strep). This time we had them send in the culture which he did just to placate me and my mother so those are the results I have today. I also almost certainly have oral thrush which is gonna get worse when I take my antibiotics so I'll need an antifungal after that probably. My normally dry skin seems even drier and lots of it is flaking off in large chunks and I'm getting skinnier every day. I could probably pass for a corpse and one not too fresh at that. I applaud the nurses and techs for not getting super grossed out when they have to perform tests. I really wish this was a dream I'd wake up from. I tried to eat a bit more food yesterday, really just trying to get at least 1k calories a day and my stomach hurt so bad from it. I don't know what to do if they don't figure this out soon. I'm basically starving every day and at this rate it'll be like 3-4 weeks before I'm underweight although given my lack of muscle I probably should be considered underweight above the normal BMI threshold. My poor sick mom that is taking care of me and taking me to my appointments is getting worse and I think I gave her strep as well. She just doesn't have the energy or health to do what she is but it's the only option because I can't even get up for more than a few seconds some days and I feel so guilty about it. Feels like we are both running on fumes. I'm really pinning my hopes on the upper endoscopy scheduled for monday but I'm also scared about it and theres a good chance it won't find anything. --- I'm ninja (you can't see me) <cite>YoukaiSlayer posted [p:927835270] in Anime, Man...
