Health update
So, some may know that I've pretty much been running a fever for a week now. Apparently, my temperature is still up and down, my lab mates have confirmed that I'm still a little warm. I saw the doctor on Friday and he said it's possibly the result of hyperthyroidism, since my thyroid apparently feels large. He ordered a blood test to be run, but the lab department was closed, so I had to wait until today to get my blood drawn.

I'm not usually afraid of needles, but it's slightly disturbing to see the nurse lady stick a 7 gauge rod into my skin. *twitches*

Thankfully, the wound has scabbed over, although I still feel slightly lightheaded, which could be because I'm running a fever, or blood loss. Gyah.

	Needles make my knees go soft. @_@ hugs Hope they don't diagnose anything really bad than just a normal fever/cold... it's kinda paranoid with all the swine flu stuff I hear on the news. :-/ (BTW, grabbed Nicolas' gifts on your assassin and opened them. Didn't swipe anything cuz they were the usual fluff.) (Reply to this) (Thread)

	hugs back Don't think it's swine flu. I don't have any of the described symptoms other than the fever, and of course, an enlarged thyroid (WTF?). (Clearly I need to work for more wood. :p) (Reply to this) (Parent)
