Adventures Of A Sick Chick

I'm sickly, but not bitter. I'm a writer and a photographer and I'm into my lizards. This is the adventures of a chronically ill person navigating the earth.

I'm moving!

I talk about this book a LOT.

Pulled myself together enough to go to the reptile expo. Got this little girl. She's a sweety. She's still settling in though. I'm looking forward to some quiet time this weekend with her.

Another lab morning at NIH

Winter continues to disappoint us.

[amalthea23]

Something is swollen in left leg town. And my hip hurts. No good comes of this.

And since people love Tad so much. She's on a necklace too. https://www.etsy.com/listing/182552450/tiny-baby-crested-gecko-art-photo?ref=shop_home_active_11

National Institues Of Mutant Research, Take 3

Going back to NIH next week. Maybe they've figured out my DNA nonsense? Who knows. At the very least, I hope they'll figure out why the fuck my shoulder has been hurting since november.

[amalthea23]

Oh, there you are, sick kid.

Finally saw the rheumy today. Thought she’d say it’s just arthritis in my shoulder. Instead, she thinks I should go back to NIH and get tested to see if the mycobacterium has spread to my shoulder because of the month of fever. I am literally on ALL of the medicine already. This stinks of a picc line again. FUCK ME.

[amalthea23]

Clearly, people love Tad

Which is nice, because she's TERRIBLE breeding stock, and will never have baby Tad's of her own. This will be her legacy, the cutest baby photos ever.

Grown up problems:

I was in a really pissy mood wednesday evening. When coworkers asked why, I replied “oil delivery” and all became clear.

At least the other grown ups get it. The younger coworkers discuss which jordans to buy. Two different lives and I’m totally content being in the “old” and married camp.

[amalthea23]

I hear that, except it's propane.
