A few days ago I imbibed contrast solution to get a CT scan of my abdomen. It is just another way of trying to figure out what is going on in my stomach. The JF hasn't been helping with it, sadly.
The solution actually did not do anything to my digestion, I had been a bit worried about that. But it tasted pretty bad.

So anyways, I felt really sick after the intravenous contrast solution went into my arm instead of the bloodstream. OK may have felt sick either way but my arm was swollen to about… Continue

Having a bad day. Somehow that melon juice freaks me out. I feel spacey but I wanted to get away from the carotene in my otherwise beloved oranges.

But my butt literally aches from sitting at the desk at work, sitting at the table to study at night and sitting in the… Continue

Sometimes being the change in the world you wanna see feels not enough. It bugs me that in our smiled-upon "green committee" at work, we were not able to stop the company from buying small styrofoam cups. But now that money is dang tight, all supplies were canceled.
Which proves to me again that it has to be about money or life and death before things get moving. When I look around at my peers, nobody has reusable material, after lunch there is a big fat huge pile of plastic, foam and what not.… Continue
