Tim has an appointment with a rheumatologist at UC Health at the end of the month to puzzle out if he has gout or RA (or, hell, both).

Yeah, that's where I'm going to go. There are two doctors there who are recommended as knowing about EDS. Plus, I get a discount on my copay. But mostly because of the recommended doctors. I just need to actually remember to call and make an appointment during business hours. There are also two other doctors I need to call for various things. And I hate phone calls.

I just need to actually remember to call and make an appointment during business hours.

Can you do that online? Or do you already have to be an established patient within the UC Health system? Tim's primary care doctor is with UC Health, so he's already in the system and can make appointments online. So handy.

You have to already be an established patient to make online appointments, I think.

Teppy, make sure he mentions that collapsed lung he had. Apparently that can be related to RA or at least it was for my uncle.

Seriously??? That's weird as hell and also SUPER interesting, medically speaking.

The hard moments are hard, Vortex

Ugh, I want to crash, but I also want to just finish my grading. I should do the latter and stop wallowing in the don't wannas.

I hope Tim gets some answers and help.

I missed a call about the results from the CT Scan. They want to discuss it which could either mean there was nothing or something. I have to go by there tomorrow when I go to therapy so I'm going to return the call up there or maybe stop in and see if someone can talk in person. I need to make a follow up appointment anyway.

I don't have a departed dad, but I do, you know? So that happened to me when Johnny Sack's daughter got married on the Sopranos, mostly because Allegra Sack, despite the name, was not so much a beautiful character, but Johnny doted on her anyway(and got arrested shortly afterwards, but that's the life.)

I ended up staying home sick today. I just couldn't muster the energy to get out of bed. So, I sent out the emails I needed to send out to cancel my classes, then went back to sleep, and woke up at 1 PM. I am feeling somewhat better, so I guess I needed the sleep.

I'm entirely lacking spoons today. Luckily, ltc is actually napping, unlike yesterday. Also, the must eat all the things feeling from yesterday, and today I'm forcing myself to eat something in the hopes that it will give me some energy.
