unhealthy competition

i almost don't even know what to write about tonight. i'm sick, i'm tired, and i'm tired of being sick.

i did see the ears, nose, and throat doctor again today. the x-rays were inconclusive, so i go in for a CT scan in three weeks. he thinks that there is a good chance i will have to have surgery. let's see... that would bring my surgery total up to eight.

i can't remember what dad's score is. he just had surgery on his right wrist for carpel tunnel syndrome. PLUS he is going to have it on the other wrist. i always thought that somehow fate made us take turns on having to have surgery until we recently realized that we're pretty close on the number that each of us has had. now it's a competition. of course.

nathan made me aware of something today. did you know that the ABC's song is the medley from 'twinkle, twinkle little star?' i had no idea!
