gn and bn

Good news is that my ultrasound showed a very healthy everything. In fact he said my uterus was stunning and not abused. Abused in ultrasound language turns out to refer to pregnancy. The guy was a little strange and kept calling me "girl", like as in "hey girlfriend." I aspire to someday have a lady doctor appointment that goes so normally I have nothing at all to say about it. Except, "I had my appointment."

Another good thing I learned was that I showed no signs of a syndrome I was previously diagnosed with.

Bad news is that I'm still in pain, almost constant, so I need to go back to the drawing board to determine the cause.

in other news, also associated with my health, I have phased completely off of a med I was on for a long time and so far its going pretty well. It was  mood drug and although I defintly notice a difference, it seems manageable so far. My road rage is back.

Had a camping trip with the fam. On a hike up Cassidy arch I lagged back due to out of shapeness and asthma. I missed a turn in the redrock trail and ended up lost on a rock ledge about twenty or thirty feet below the actual trail. As I hiked I got worried about how close I was getterng to the cliff and the noticeable lack of footprints. I only panicked a bit, but was eventually able to free climb from one ledge up to the next. A nice older couple I had flagged down waited up top while I bouldered either to make sure I didn't plummet to my death or to see my hiking idiocy up close. I'm not proud. The funny thing was that after I survived my ordeal is when I got panicky. I had my first anxiety attack in years. I think in that moment when I was so close to the dropoff, my reptillian brain kicked in and I went into survival mode. It was only after the threat was passed that I freaked out.

This is a pattern for me. I can get through tough things like a champ, but then crash later. I remember accidentally high centering my car once and calling for a tow truck in the middle of the night and dealing with it all. Only to feel completly overwhelmed after I returned home and was totally safe.

Where's the sense in that?

Anyhoo...I'm rambling. Night!

Glad the ultrasound was normal. Are there seriously no female gynos in Utah that you can go to? I never go to men.

I strongly suspect (as do a majority of Americans) that Barack Obama is actually Massachusetts Senator and former Presidential candidate John Kerry.

On Election Night '04, John Kerry realized he would lose the election, and momentarily considered suicide. However, an idea grew within his mind and he quickly searched for a way to pull it off. Suddenly, he heard a sound in the backalley behind his campaign headquarters. He stepped outside and saw a couple of homeless guys fighting over a slice of pizza from the dumpster. In a moment of pure genius, he paid the two bums $1000 a week in exchange for "a small service for the state of Massachusetts and the Nation", as he said it. In minutes, he, John Edwards, and the two hobos were under a plastic surgeon's scapel as the greatest trick ever played on the United States unfolded.

After the surgery, the four men looked very different: the two hobos looked exactly like John Edwards and John Kerry, while Edwards looked like an old guy and Kerry had taken on the appearance of a 43 year old black male. The two bums were rushed back to the campaign headquarters as W. and Cheney defeated Kerry.

Kerry and Edwards now turned their attention to two politicians: Barack Obama, a wanna be orthodonist, and Joe Biden, aka Senator Bozo the Clown. Kerry and Edwards arranged for the two senators to be kidnapped and they immediately took over their roles.

During the next four years, Barack Obama (aka John Kerry) served as the junior Senator from Illinois; Joe Biden (aka John Edwards) served as Delaware's senior Senator; homeless guy #1 served in the Senate as John Kerry; homeless guy #2, thrilled to learn of Edwards' many mistresses, impregnated one of Edwards' campaign workers; and old Joe and Barry withered away in cells located in the caverns deep beneath Capitol Hill.

In 2008, the trap was set. Obama (Kerry) was first required to eliminate his competitors, Hillary Clinton and John Edwards (aka Homeless Guy #2.) Edwards (Bum 2) was pissed off after Kerry reduced his cash flow and ran for President to mess up Obama (Kerry.) Unfortunately for Edwards
(Bum #2), his adopted image crashed after his little misadventure was born and so Kerry had only Hillary to destroy.

Surprisingly to Kerry, Democrats seemed to prefer an old bitchy First Lady offering handouts to a young, charismatic black male Senator offering handouts and it seemed for a moment as if his beautiful plans were crashing to the ground; in a fortunate turn of events, Clinton learned of Obama's (Kerry) true identity when a naked, stoned John Kerry (Homeless Guy #1) approached her and asked for a smoke and she made the connection. Kerry blackmailed Clinton, threatening to release evidence of her real estate scams, and so she left the race.

Now uncontested, Obama (Kerry) announced Biden (Edwards) as his VP and together, the two took advantage of voters' stupidy, paranoia, and insecurity to surge to victory over a long-serving Senator and war hero. Then, just this year, he repeated the feat by crushing an experienced businessman
and winning another 4 years in office.

Now that I've revealed the truth, I fear lest the Secret Service shall infiltrate my quarters and cancel my life with a swift bullet.
