My dad:

His surgery went fine and should be out in time to vote straight Republican. They are going to put the second stint in next Monday. Things are looking good and he appears very willing to give up cigarettes.

Me:

I do not have Behçet's disease (with about a 95% certainty). However, he was cautious about the" ulcerations" on my tongue and suggests that I get a biopsy after I get a teeth cleaning. He did not have a suggestion as to what they might be looking for with a biopsy. I've had the ulcerations on my tongue for as long as I can remember, the one dentist I asked said I must be biting my tongue in my sleep. I accepted that then, but now am questioning that assessment.

Of course, since the doctor I saw today is an Behçet's expert and outside my normal insurance it would make sense to attempt to find the care in-network. I'm not even sure if this is where I want to put my energy: if the weird tongue issues are not connected, I'd rather concentrate on the vertigo.

I was supposed to see dicotomygrrl tonight. Just before she was due to arrive, I received a panicked phonecall from purpleglitter. Dandelion's food was hurt and there was lots of blood. I ran over to purpleglitter's house with my shoes in my hand, not even taking time to put them on until we had already loaded Dandelion in the car and were heading off to Angell Memorial Hospital.

Prior to calling me, purpleglitter had put styptic powder on Dandelion, so the bleeding had stopped. He appeared to be doing well and half way there we questioned if he needed to go, but we decided it was best that he see a vet anyway just in case.

Even in the strange situation, rushed out in the night, Dandelion still did step ups for the attending vet. When the vet asked if he was flighted he took off from his finger as if to say "Of course I can fly".

He got right onto my finger and I scooped him up and handed him to the vet. He is a brave bird. The vet took him in back to the "exotics" ward. Dandelion was a bit shaken when he returned, but I gave him good scritches while the vet looked for Dandelion's records and he calmed down.

He apparently got his toenail caught in something and it broke off. It looks like he'll be alright.

i've had a good week
haven't had much access to computers, so haven't really been posting
several people have squawked at me for my acid use
but i plan on taking it again if the opportunity arises
this displeases many, but i feel like it is good for me
i always learn so much
and i want to see the universe again
i didn't get to last time because i was to into fixing my brain

skye the budgie came out of the cage for the first time today
she even landed on my head
it is not the first opportunity she's had to fly around though
before we got her, she escaped for four days
she's very lucky she survived in this cold climate

i've had to catch mr. squeaky once a day
he's got a scaly foot problem
i have to put medicine on him once a day
he hates it and bites me a lot
but he's just a little finch so it really doesn't hurt

i'm going to northampton with purpleglitter on Monday
haven't been in years
i'm looking very much forward to it
check out how my old haunts are doing
i don't imagine i'll see anyone i knew from when i lived there
the turnover in the valley is quite high
but it will be an adventure none the less

took madeleinecat to the vet yesterday
she had just gotten in a fight with spyder right before i had to put her into the carrier
she was hiding under the bed afraid (spyder is a much bigger cat)
i had to pull her out from under the bed
in doing so she attacked my hand and gave me many bites and scratches
madeleinecat had the amazing ability to transform form a cute cuddly cat into a angry ball of fangs and claws
she preformed this feat for the vet as well
the vet put her in a net to give her her shot
he didn't want to handle her
she was very pet cemetery cat
but she's going to be all better
found out she has an infection on her belly (already guessed that), has arthritis, and doesn't have ear mites
i just have to give her her medicine every day
that should be an adventure

at 9:00 i'm taking a hit of ecstasy
i'm a bit nervous about it
but i'm also excited
i've done it 3 times before
i'm looking to write write write
so look for some interesting posts tonight
that is if it works
i'm hoping to free myself
to open myself up
i'm worried that i might open myself up too much
bring something out that i can't deal with
but in some ways that's what i want to do, too
i want to bring up the things i'm too afraid to face
i want to bring up the dark monsters
because while i'm on ecstasy they're not dark
they lose their bite
the problem is that they'll still be there when the drug wears off
i plan on taking a klonopin and sleeping
going over everything that i experience in the morning
by way of my writing
for now, i need some tea
