In todayapos;s edition of not-really-good news disguised as good news:

Thursday I had a call from my primary physicianapos;s office about the results of the bloodwork I had done while I was with the infectious disease specialist.

The "good" news: No CMV was found in my blood, for the first time since late May/early June.

This is NOT good news, though, because it doesnapos;t mean Iapos;m CMV-free. It just means that the levels of the virus in my blood are undetectable. And Iapos;m not feeling any better, so itapos;s not like weapos;re out of the woods yet. Thereapos;s a good possibility that I have PIFS (post-infection fatigue syndrome), or Chronic Sinus Disease, or that unnamed third option. Plus probably still CMV, now dormant.

I was all hyped to go to K-Zoo this weekend to play goalball with Jackie and Tim. Well, I got to K-Zoo last night and enjoyed a delicious dinner with the Paulding two-some and their friends. This was followed by a late-night trip to Meijer to return bottles (something Jackie and Tim donapos;t like doing on the bus, and I canapos;t blame them). I had an okay night... But I woke up around 6:30 with immense pain on my right side. It felt very similar to the ovarian cyst I had when I was twelve. There was no way I could play goalball, so I decided to go home. I drove about five miles down the road and was just completely overcome with pain and nausea, so I turned around and went back to Jackie and Timapos;s.

They had to go to the Center for the Blind, and then to goalball, and then back to the Center, but they told me I could stay and rest, which is what I did. I slept from about 9 to 2:30 or so. Then I woke up and the pain and most of the nausea were gone. I went downstairs and took their dog Bella outside for a walk and a pee, and then came back inside. Around 4 I left for Lansing and I arrived here around 6 (I had to stop on the way).

I am still feeling iffy. My sore throat has come back. My stomach issues are still persistent. My knee is really bothering me.

Needless to say, I didnapos;t get to game tonight, which pisses me off. I was too sick last week, and I was too exhausted this week.

Tomorrow will be sleeping, and studying for Canada-class, apos;cause we have an exam on Monday. And sleeping.

If you have a spare moment, I wouldnapos;t be averse to a prayer or a good thought in my direction.
