Wednesday morning, Mark & I went to the hospital to have the tube removed. There was a nun in the office in blue robes. The removal was quick and ouchless, except for the ripping the tape off my face and neck. I took me a long time to finally get to sleep, and even then I was in and out for most of the day with nearly zero energy.

Wenesday night I got a burst of energy. I showered and shaved. I did the dishes. I cleaned the kitchen counters. I washed my linen and clothing. I went to Whole Foods and bought water. I was going to rent some porn but the store's hours had changed, so that they closed just as I got there. I went to Meijer and bought cleaning supplies; 3 packs of underwear, and a pack of socks. I came home...did more laundry, ate, and cleaned my room a bit.

Mark's doctor thinks he has a pinched nerve in his neck, which would explain a lot of the symptoms that Mark has had recently. I'm taking him in for an MRI on Monday, before my physical. He needs a driver for moral support, but he'll also be sedated as he's claustrophobic and doesn't want to be put inside that tube.

Mark is going to the hospital with me today. I have to be there at 9am. I'm not looking forward to eating their food and then sitting around for 6 or 7 hours. I think I should have Mark drop me off or something, and then he can work a bit, plus I can read my DS9 book.

Speaking of DS9, the often delayed but highly anticipated new DS9 Relaunch book has shipped from Amazon and should be here by Monday! :-0) I'm very excited about this book. Not only is this a continuation of my favorite Star Trek series (which I've been waiting more than 2 years for; it's also likely that this book will explain what happened to Iliana Ghemore; something I've been aching to know more about for nearly 14 years! I hope the payoff is worth it! ;-0)

I'm way tired, but my stomach is upset so I can't lay down. I've printed some more art for my room, but I don't think I have any more energy at the moment. Perhaps I'll read. I don't know.

I've heard rumblings about the new Doctor Who episode that's airing on Saturday...and I'm hoping that these rumors are true. We'll see. Ooh. And Friday night or more likely Saturday afternoon, I'll also get to see the mid-season finale of BSG. Lots of geeky stuff to get me through all this medical bullshit.
