Sorry for the lack of updates... nothing has really happened...

except I'm going to die very soon.


Yup, you heard it, Jeff is going to die... or at least it feels like it. Ok, get this. In december, I'm put on my new happy tendanitus medication with a few wonderful side effects. First, I had flu like symptoms for about two days around Christmas. Next, kidney stones... now my brain has swollen up about 8% or so and it is causing constant headache, hallucinations (cars coming down an empty road), unexplainable fatigue, loss of appitite, and constant daydreaming feelings. The headaches are bad, some are migraines, and last two-three days.... then it gets worse. The doctors tell me if I don't recover from this, I have a chance of having a stroke because the arteries are getting pinched or something like that. Well, about five days go by and all of a sudden I have even MORE difficulty to eat. I just have no interest in it.... then it happens.... huge migraine... and a soar throat. I spend three days in Mt. P during a huge party weekend in a non-fun comatose state. I eventually leave A 21st BIRTHDAY PARTY EARLY! I never once get drunk, and I never once eat a decent meal. My head was killing me, and my throat felt like it was on fire. So I come home, raid my place in STC for meds, and lock myself in at home in Carrollton. I go to work Monday, but the teachers tell me I'm in such bad shape that I look like a walking corpse and think I should go home..... so I do, the next day (today), my boss tells me to see a doctor and take as much time of as needed (I have a great boss)... I go to the doctor... and on top of brain swelling, I have toncilitus (spelling) and Strep Throat..... he prescribes me medicine but because of insurance confusion I don't get it till later... well during that time my airways in my throat close and I nearly suffocate a few times until I force them open with jello and water in high doses.

Well I get the medicine... and I have a shitload of it. Stuff for my head (including the weekly shot), my throat, and my mouth and palatte. I am on a total of seven medications... but it should be coming down to two very soon. But I swear, you guys are the best. I never thought I was actually cared for, it means a lot to me (I always figured I was an expendable muse). I love you guys!

Well, I got medication, lets hope I can recover fully.

Six more days or so and I'm out of the "in danger of having a stroke" zone.
