I finally found out the results of my MRI... apparently I have 2 protruding discs in my lower spine, one of which has been compressing my S1 nerve so I'm in a terrible amount of pain whenever I sit. One of my spinal discs are also drying out because it's so worn, and I also have signs of arthiritis in my lower back... all from 6 years of hard gymnastics. I knew it would come back to haunt me someday :/

You don't want to move to the US anyways. I suggest somewhere in Europe my other half lives in the US so i am moving there for him. aren't i awesome?  and yeah, i'm not worried about the thyroid problems, more annoyed that is could bugger up my plans because i want to get it all taken care of while i am in Oz and don't have to pay for treatment because when i move i will have no job or health care so medical expenses and medication could financially cripple me. |

Claire you must get better...EXPLOSIONS!!! the doctor didn't say. i have to go back in a few weeks for another blood test because apparently the one i just had could have been messed up because i was coming down with a cold. it will most likely turn out to be nothing. it is such an inconvenience though. |

Yeah, I have to be checking mine every few months or so i'm hoping it is nothing and i can get it all taken care of while i am in Oz because once i move i am really worried i won't be able to pay for any medical expenses for a while. so that sucks. |

Me too...if I make enough to move to Oregon next year like I wish, I'm not going to have the money to pay for ridiculousness of American "health care" for some time. Argh.

Yeah, you'd think we'd have better health care because we're Big Wonderful America, but noooo.

I saw Premonition in the morning, worked on music and flew my kite in the afternoon, and worked with a bunch of friendly ushers in the evening.  |
