I have to wait a week until I'm treated for this.

I'd admit to hypochondria if I wasn't diagnosed with something new every 3-5 months. Pneumonia? I'll take loads of pills! Bronchitis? (3 times!) Okay, I'll take the pill. Kidney infections? Okay I'll take the pill. 6 centimeter cyst on my ovary? Okay, I'll have a painkilling shot and some surgery. Severe B-12 deficiency? Okay, I'll have shots every day/week/month. Spinal headache with spinal fluid leaking? Great! Collapse my vein with an enormous needle why don't you... My universe, and that's not all of it.

It's never a question of getting better. The question has always been, "So what's next?" and "Bring it on!"

I want a new body, this one's not working right...Sorry, had to rant.
