Up a bit late and a bit rough.

.

Not a really bad day though, considering everything. It seems like I was suffering from dehydration last night, in spite of drinking as much as I possibly could have for most of yesterday afternoon. The headache and a general sense of being hot, like a cast iron oven after it's been fired, and of course being really tired combined to make me think this morning was going to be brutal. I did sleep until 13:00 or so. That side ache I have is there and getting worse, but that has been the case for over a week now (as a returning old condition, if with a slight different twist). A little headache is also present, and some body fatigue from being statically positioned in an auto all day and then probably not rolling much while I slept. Anacin should handle those. Not bad.

Sassy was hollering for food this "morning". Sam just wanted let out. Being that it was a bit late, I just fed Sassy right away. I thought I had waken a few times to her meowling and a phone call. Since I can see I didn't receive a phone call I doubt if I woke to Sassy either. Dreams. I hate the normal seeming dreams that confuse the real with the dream. I can have whole weeks pass in the dream world sometimes, even a year once, though it has been a long time since that happened. Sassy still wants something. Playing with her isn't it, she doesn't want out... maybe she just likes to fuss.

The pain in my side is getting worse. It is like a pulled muscle from slipping, or something. It 'cuts' from the middle center back (between my ribs and hip) on my right side up to the upper middle of my torso right at the bottom of the ribs, and from deep inside me to near the surface, like a ribbon of hurt. I have no idea what is causing it. Anacin helps for a few hours but even then only slightly. It's a weird thing. Most of the other pains are gone though. Do doctors have any idea what any of this means? I doubt it. Either that or they won't say.

I go in next week for cardiology. I doubt if they can help. Since the specialists I have seen so far don't know what the exact problem is (or won't say, speculate) I am hoping for a little more detailed diagnosis and prognosis. I am sure they will simply look over my corpse, see if they can accentuate pains whatever reason, call for more testing, and pretty much ignore my questions. They will probably try to have me take more medicine. If this goes anything like what I have seen and heard so far. I am merely another experiment. I don't expect much.

Well, on to... something. Have a good day.
