Sitrep: vomited bile (and nothing else) last night. Called GP this morning, going to pick up referral for gall bladder imaging.

Younger sister has had gall bladder issues; this could be familial.

Thread. To be updated.

#LifeInTheTimeOfCorona #Belgium

Sorry for not calling, mom and dad, this really was the quickest way of going about it, you remember last time

Off to doctor costume

On hold with UZ Brussel to schedule imaging

Shout out to @xeni who did this for cancer. Gall bladders are way less sexy than cancer but she’s way sexier than me anyway so it works out

Turns out UZ Brussel isn’t scheduling abdominal imaging right now because of corona-chan. Anonymous Housemate is tracking down a hospital that is.

Abdominal echography scheduled, Friday, 2pm.

Will continue to update.

“Echography” is a neat way to say “ultrasound.”

Ok I made it long enough to lean out the window and clap and yell “LOVE YOU BRUSSELS”

but Jesus I’m tired and I hurt and my job right now is to rest as much as I can until echography appointment. Which I am now off to do. The resting, I mean.

hot shower helped, uh, up to the hot water running out

back to lying under heating pad and weighted blanket

but hey at least I'm clean

routine night meds taken with a beer which is I guess the most #Brussels thing I could be doing right now

another long hot shower

mo' vomit, mo' bile

just gotta hold on till Friday and not eat after 8am

I'm fine with living in a society but living in a meat robot is a real hassle sometimes

ok pain is just getting fractally worse

called public hospital that has an auxiliary office literally just up the plein from my house

they'll only make an appointment if the paper I have says it's urgent, thanks corona

real talk: it does not

they said have my doc call them

he gets in at 10am. that's about an hour and a half

just gotta hold on till then

we're gonna make it fam

#CapitalistRealismTheMusical

hanging tight till then

we really are gonna make it
