No!!!
The doctor thinks it could be diabetes (because I'm fat, probably) and also gave me a third distinct antibiotic in the hopes that this one will work

I hope it works, is that like mastitis? Or is that only women who had babies? Either way, it sounds painful.

Yeah, mastitis! They keep saying it's common in smokers or lactating people T^T

I hope it works too.

Well why are you smoking then? Do I need to make you smoke 100 cigarettes at a time to help you quit?

No!! I don't smoke and I'm not a mother!!

or am I...

Hmm, have you spotted any half human, half ACs around?

ugh wish I was half AC to cool myself...

doctor told me to get a new ultrasound when the boob's less inflamed, which could be a week or more @_@

Yikes, that's got to be uncomfortable constantly getting prodded like that.

I'm just so tired... been in this since may @_@

Ugh, that sounds lame. They better figure out a fix soon, or I'm going to kidnap a Dr. House type of doctor for you.

I'm seeing... a third doctor today @_@
this one better solve it!!

They better! You don't need any more strangers prodding you.

did another ultrasound, still inflamed, monday I'll get... a fourth antibiotic... |D

also I'm sorry for disappearing @_@

It's okay, I just want you to feel better.

By the way, Sort Of is coming out with new episodes for the second season now. Really wish it was more popular.

Second season of Sort Of!!! Now those are good news ehehe

there's only one drag race season on right now so I should have the time

There's another about to come out, right? Sounds like they are moving to MTV, now. Some of The Challenge viewers are wanting the Drag Race stars to come to that show to compete, too.

Yeah! I wasn't following spoilers so I didn't know it was going to be on so soon.

hehe I hope Jujubee is on that other show too.

I need to see the meet the queens for it.

More Jujubee anywhere would be nice. I miss seeing some of the others from older seasons, but can't really say that about the newer ones.

I think because new seasons keep coming out at the same time as international ones I know less about them because I have to spread my attention thin... back in the old days we could focus on only one cast at a time xD

I just haven't really been that interesting in the casting, particularly.

I hope you have found some sort of relief for your pain lately, though.

Did you watch the talent show portion, at least? There were a few very good ones!!!

FINALLY the doctor accepted to talk about surgically removing the area that gets inflammed every time. I had to spend christmas in pain and I'd like that to not happen again @_@

I caught part of it. I liked some of the outfits from the intro and runway.

Dance Monsters is such a weird concept for a reality competition, I might try that.

There's also Supermodel Me on Netflix, with one of the photographers from ANTM.

Any update on the doc visit?

what is dance monsters? masked singer but with dancers?
OOOh I watched supermodel me! It is a direct continuation of Asia's NTM it seems, with previous winners showing up and the same host.

I'm gonna do surgery on the 14th to remove a part of the nipple and I'll need 2 weeks of rest. I'll update you!!

I think they wear motion capture outfits so that the judges only see a CGI version of them dancing.

Ouch ow ow. Hopefully once you go through that it starts getting better. At least there isn't physical therapy for boobs. I can only imagine someone trying to assist you with the exercises. "Okay now, it's time for the pendulum swings!"

Aaah even sneakier... but also must be expensive. The drama has to be very high to compensate xD

T^T it's gonna be a while before I can do pendulum swings again...
I mean...
my sister is gonna take her vacation early to come here help my mom and we're gonna send my dad to a lovely 2 week vacation on a retirement home.

That's nice that you won't have to tend to them as much while you're recovering. I'm cheering you on for an easy surgery and recovery. Too bad you getting felt up on Valentine's isn't the most desirable manner in which it's going to happen, though.

My dad already wants to come home |D

surgery went well!! but now I must rest arm Typing everything with right hand...

I bet it was nice getting a break from for a bit from him.

Glad you survived! Is the pain finally getting better?

Yes! It's only a bit sore. Tomorrow the stitches will be removed (hopefully)

My dad is still causing problems at the retirement home...

Ohh, nice.

Will he realize he had it better at home?

Yes but not in a way that would make him respect us |D my mom says he demands to go home and that he's there against his will... doesn't even remember he's there because I had a surgery...

*crawls inside thread*

You should swap places with him. The other residents would probably be more fun to hang out with.

Bio!! How have you been!! I didn't get you anything BUT I named a dragon after you - https://www1.flightrising.com/dragon/84538795
(not sure you can see without an account but it's a taupe dragon!! Because you taught me taupe was a color)

*Hugs thread*

Ohh, that's pretty cool, thank you. I can see it, it's even letting me play with the predict morphology feature.

I've still been taking trips to Austin like to a big trivia event last month and now this month is another live show with a 420 theme.

Are you fully healed and finally feeling better?

*hugs Gizzie*

420 theme? You'll definitely ace it then ehehe

Yes!! Fully healed! I haven't slept well this past month though @_@ while I was recovering my dad was in a retirement home and he caused all kinds of troubles there... then my mom wanted to bring him back home and he needs more care than before...

I hope for everyone's sake he manages to stay. Sounds like it's risky to not continue to get professional help. Although I can imagine that's extremely hard to come to terms with.

My mom kinda sees it as her burden, but she forgets she's also old!! And it becomes my burden, which is kinda what I deserve in her eyes for not being able to get a regular job...

It sounds like there will always be trade offs, or always something else to be bothered by. It's like some people forget to appreciate the good things. The burn out from a regular job would probably bring other issues that she may not realize.
