Argh. The gallstones are attacking some more. Far too much pain to sleep, or indeed, do much of anything :/

artremis, if you read this before you leave London, there's no way I can meet you tomorrow :/ Doubt I'll even be well enough to leave the house when meeping & gerwinium get here, so if you guys read this & there's a movie you want to see that's on DVD, rent it & bring it round.

When you go to the hospital as an emergency and they ask you how bad the pain is on a scale of 1 to 10, it's so useless, because "10" keeps shifting. My pain is bad enough right now that I am considering taking an overdose - not because I want to kill myself, just to make the pain stop. Of course, I'm not going to do that, because it's bad enough having a fucked gall bladder, I don't need a fucked liver as well. But seriously - I've taken the maximum safe dose of every single painkiller I have, and I'm still in frigging agony.

The heat that's radiating out of my gall bladder shows me it must be pretty damn inflamed. Can I do anything about the inflammation? No! because I have a BLOODY NSAID ALLERGY! Ibuprofen or Voltarol or something would probably be enough to sort it out, except that probably would kill me. It's just not fair - why is every single bloody anti-inflammatory on the market related to damn salicylic acid? Why can't someone invent one that isn't?

Woe is me! *sobs dramatically, and staples her hand to her forehead*

Oh and I should note that the ASL was relevant cos we know BSL. She was using ASL fingerspelling because it's one handed and BSL is 2 handed. The fact she could remember any ASL immediately after surgery was impressive and indicated to me that she was probably ok just very pissed off with not being told anything useful.
