26 is the new 80

I spent 25 years in great health. Now, though, I am rapidly deteriorating. This last month, I have:
  • had a doc ultrasound my abdomen to check for cysts he thought he felt
  • had another doc take a biopsy for suspected skin cancer, which turned out to just be weird skin
  • bumped my pinkie finger and had it swell up so much I can't straighten it, make a fist, wear my wedding band on the finger next to it, or disguise the black and blue on my palm
  • had 2 cavities filled and am HAVING A TOOTH PULLED at 2 pm because my bone has grown into the tooth and is filling it up
THANK YOU LUKE AND MOZILLA for your excellent, excellent health insurance.

And thank you God that none of these are actual big issues. (c:

I feel ya! In my 26th year of life, I seem to be pretty much falling apart as well! =) What's up with that?

Ha! While I, at 24 years old, am the very picture of health. I guess I should enjoy it while I can? (Also, sorry about your finger. And your weird skin. And your bumpy belly?)

a limerick to cheer you up:

A bear taking a dump asked a rabbit
"Does shit stick to your fur as a habit?"
"Of course not," said the hare,
"It's really quite rare!"
So the bear wiped his ass with the rabbit.

RenFest starts this weekend.
