stomach-related issues
so i went to the doctor about my "i get nauseous pretty much all the time" problem and TURNS OUT i might have an ulcer or a gallbladder "problem." the meds they gave me--the meds they gave me to see if they work--are also used for zollinger-ellison syndome</i> (wiki link, includes gross endoscopy image) which means tumors. but we're not going to suspect that. we're going to suspect stress, and ulcers.
so, apparently licorice is good for ulcers? and drinking straight vegetable oil? and eating a low-fat diet? and i shouldn't eat corn, tomatoes or citrusy things, except those are the things i want to eat most. AWESOME. stupid internet people, suggesting information that doesn't fit with my previously-accepted worldviews, mumble grumble....
also i have something like a dozen rows left on my PL shawl. which means... 3 to 6 hours of work. plus the bind-off. thinking of using the one from the hemlock ring. maybe.
