So about a month ago, I was on vacation. I started to get one of my usual "Ugh, I have some sort of stomach virus thing. Guess I'll have to wait it out" things. It waxed and waned and eventually got way worse about a week ago. I ended up going to the doctor's office, and they did the usual poke and prod at my stomach. One place was particularly tender, and they sent me for an ultrasound. If I had a scanner I'd show you all the picture. There's something wrong with my gallbladder that's apparently been building up over years and years. My gall bladder is about half-full of sludgey stuff that moves around in it pretty freely, which explains why the symptoms come and go pretty fast.

The most worrying thing about this whole ordeal now is that over the past month, I've lost 18lbs, 10 of which being in the last week. Also, I almost fained last night, and I've never fainted in my life. I'm kinda scared, and I'm wasting time waiting for the doctor to call me back by explaining all of this to you.

and in b4 balsa wood comment from Eric.
