I'm not fucking him up, except non-lethally. Look. They have to suffer just a little bit. Not a whole lot, not to death, but just a little. Just a teeny-tiny smidgen; I was wrongly imprisoned.

yeah that DEFINITELY sounds more like hard drive stuff, hard drive stuff is ANNOYINGLY WEIRD sometimes and was like 80% of my problems with similar weird-ass crashes before I upgraded my comp when I thought it was everything from RAM to motherboard melting.

Ahhh it would be good if it were a hard drive problem, I’m sitting here watching HD Tune run hoping it will turn out to be a hard drive problem. If I have to ditch this big regular-sized 1TB budget HDD, I am going to replace it with one of those cool tiny SSD sticks that snap right onto the motherboard!

ashkatom replied to your post: argh it happened again and the card was dead cold...

probably not it bc you said your computer crashes, but I just remembered I got a similar visual glitch the time my monitor’s circuitboard was like, melting. maybe helpful???

Well, the monitor goes dead......... shit, thanks, as soon as it happens again I’ll try power-cycling the monitor. I was listening to headphones through it and the audio started unspooling when it did it earlier. 

I think the computer crashed classically at least once, yesterday, complete with HDD-failure OS glitches on the crash recovery screen, but I’ll still try it, because Who Knows, though my nice new monitor going up in smoke would be NEARLY as obnoxious as my card dying.

ugh, I have also had the Weird Maybe Appendix Pain, except for me it… actually was cramps, they were just being super weird because losing weight and hormones. Fingers crossed on the dietician front for you - mine bulk-bills to Medicare since I have the referral, but I also suspect she may be taking pity on me because I have no money, which is like, pretty fuckin’ kind of her. Bless Medicare for enabling this.

...yeah losing weight is definitely not something happening to me atm. I’m hoping that since I have the low-income health care card now, things will be different.

agh yes I knew you had the flu and was worried but I don’t know if I said anything because I’ve been so scattered this past week @_@ also: DAE APPENDIX PAIN PLS have you done the poke test?? poke it and if the pain gets worse when you let go, that is 100% hospital time. ALSO ALSO, with the referral, see if you can get a licensed dietician - dieticians require training, nutritionists don’t, it’s like the difference between a psychologist and a life coach and (½)

the referral should cover it, mine did, and I think my dietician has been significantly less gross and shamey than a nutritionist would have been. (2/2)

see it’s not hurting all the time, that’s the thing. it comes and goes - I know it’s not cramps, it’s just on one side, it’s lower and to the right, and I’ve been having periods for eight goshdarned years I know what period pain feels like. 

I actually have seen a dietician before, and she was lovely, never made me feel bad, but she was also 80$/visit and cha girl doesn’t have that sort of money, and my situation is different now. I’m hoping that I can go and see her again, hopefully for free this time

may the Gods all bless Medicare and our socialist-leaning former governments, that’s all I’m saying.

edit: also, babe, after the week you’ve had, I wouldn;t expect you to remember anything.

okay well next time you go back mention it >:| I am TAKING NO CHANCES with peoples’ health rn and honestly the numbness is extremely worrying. plus, y'know, worker’s comp.

yeah I was gonna go back to her on Thurs anyway (the next day this week my doc works) because the area when I think my appendix is has been having these weird sharp spikes of pain lately. like I don’t have any other signs of appendicitis and I was already planning on visiting her again because I am finally Well (I did have influenza! can’t remember if I told you or not) and apparently she can hook me up with five free visits to a nutritionist
