The fires and the deaths over east are really upsetting. Nobody deserves to diaf, no matter what the hipster douches on LJ say :(
A few days ago I had to go to the ER at Joondalup, for a headache that scared the fuck outta me. I hadn't been to the ER in a few months, not like last year when I was going every few weeks for various things. Apparently it was a migraine, they gave me pain relief and put me on a saline drip, and they were nice enough to give me panadeine forte to take home. I'm gonna see if I can afford to see a neurologist sometime soon.
Yesterday Brett took me to the emergency dental clinic at Charlies, so I could finally have something done about my broken wisdom tooth. It's been broken for about 3 years but has been giving me problems for about 6. Anyway, everything was cool, i was nervous obviously but ready to deal with the fact that I was getting a tooth pulled. The 5th year students really didn't know what they were doing, they had a supervisor there helping them which made me feel better. So all was cool until they stuck the needle in my gum and palate. The needle stung of course, but the anaesthetic made me start shaking. I felt cold and shivery, but my face was bright pink. I couldn't stop shaking so they put me in another room for half an hour, they sent Brett in and he took my mind off feeling sick, which he always does. They didn't want to take my tooth out after that but I wasn't going through the anaesthetic fiasco again, and told them I wanted it out today. Brett got to watch them pull my tooth out, which he loved. It still hurt, even with my gums all numb, but as soon as they pulled it out I felt so much better. I wanted to keep the tooth but they wouldn't allow that. As I'm on centrelink, I only have to pay half of what the usual price would be which is great, and i'll probably be able to get a further discount.
On the 17th, I'm going in for a laparoscopy at King Edwards. This is to find out if I have endometriosis and also to see if my fallopian tubes are open or closed. Obviously I'll be under general and won't feel a thing, I'm just worried there will be complications or I wont wake up. I always worry about those things.
I wish I was normal and healthy, I'm so sick of being sick. I'm too sick to work yet not sick enough to go on the pension. It's frustrating and it makes me so sad. I had so much potential and it's all going down the drain. I really want to be able to study this year, but I don't know if I'll be able to.
