The results of my last blood test are back, and though I didn’t get to talk to Dr.Blake, the nurse I spoke with read me this note:
“Test normal, no anemia, continue with GI doctor as advised.”
The point of this test, I thought, was to determine if I was short some of that glorious red stuff. [...]
Doctor’s again yesterday. A year ago, these hours spent sitting on paper lined examination tables seemed to drag on tortuously. Now I hardly blink. This appointment was short. Out and home again in three hours. I feel almost hurried, and I need to sit a bit.
Dr. Blake reminds me of my childhood hero, Amy, [...]
I’ve updated the look and feel of the site a bit. I hope you enjoy the new look, and as always, send any suggestions and thoughts my way.
After talking back and forth with my doctor here, one of the nurses informed me that “everyone” had decided it would be best to change the plans a bit and check out on of the local GI doctors instead of going all the way to Seattle. I think they were not so keen on the [...]
It’s been a long week. One of the meds I was on was an anticholinergic, which prevents spasms in the muscles of the gut and bladder by relaxing them and reduces the amount of stomach acid produced. Unfortunatly all it did for me was give me migranes and nightmares, so I’m off of that and [...]
Just wanted to leave a quick update, not feeling so well today and can’t seem to focus enough to see just one screen instead of two, so I will be brief. I returned to the doctors on Thursday, having shown no improvements. My test results all came back negative, leaving the doctor a bit confused.

It’s been a long few days in the states, and the time has come to make some tough decisions. In January of 2006, while working at Best Buy, I began to consider serving overseas. It had been a while since I’d been involved in third-world missions first hand. At the request of friends in a [...]
Due to health conditions, I have returned to the states on an emergency flight.
After just five days overseas, I arrived at my base in Northern Australia with a swollen chest, spitting up a bit of blood and constantly dealing with vertigo and double vision. I was asked to go to the hospital there, but [...]
G’day… it’s 1:30pm here in Sydney, and 11:30pm yesterday on the US East Coast, and I know this because I’m now sporting two watches. Counting back was getting too complicated! I’ve spent the last two days exploring Sydney, getting to know lots of people from all over the world, and trying to stay out of [...]
Lots of airplane food later, I’ve arrived in rainy Sydney. It’s morning and no one’s moving yet, but customs was quick and painless so no complaints. Still trying to find some place with free wireless. For now I have 3 days stay booked at a hostel in Sydney, I’m going to try to get to [...]
