   Well that puts my own difficulties this weekend into perspective.

I hope your doctor is being overly pessimistic.

   ...not ideal indeed. Are you going to be writing any more, given your condition now? I know this sounds eerily similar to a question I asked a couple months ago but I do love all of UF and your work and would hate to see it just dry up from here.

   You're not the only one!

And, so very not ideal. Hope things resolve to the best possible in the shortest possible, as it were.

   Well, suboptimal. I don't know what to say about your situation here...

Speech Recognition Software for dictating your fics instead of writing them? But you then can end up in the Weber hole...

Good luck with your health.

10. "quick update: state of the G"
In response to message #0
 
   Realized I hadn't checked in for a while, so let's recap. Since my push to get The Fall of Petrograd out and repack part 1 of Our Fighting Fleet over the holidays, the following status effects have been applied to me by the GM:

1) sinus infection, treated with antibiotic 1
2) sinus infection, treated with antibiotic 2
3) mysterious bout of chest pain that the ER determined was not a heart attack, but couldn't identify any other cause for
4) sinus infection, treated with antibiotic 3
5) my first official MS relapse, which began on the very day sinus infection 3 began to clear up
6) resultant neurologist order for change in MS medication, from the one that takes one injection per week to the one that takes three; you can imagine how big my happy hat is about that
7) nuclear perfusion cardiac stress test to investigate item 3) above, which is not nearly as cool as the phrase "nuclear perfusion" may tend to suggest it should be
8) presently, what the ER doctor thinks is probably cellulitis (a staph infection of the subcutaneous soft tissue) or possibly a severe reaction to the new MS medication in my right shin—though that's nowhere near any of the actual injection sites, so we're assuming it's cellulitis (the lab may get something on the blood cultures* tomorrow and let us know if we're right) and treating it accordingly with a fourth different antibiotic. This started completely at random last Thursday evening and has been really pissing me off all weekend.

Oh yes, and the relapse noted in item 5) above is still going on, because actually treating what the disease does is not what the medication is for, and there is in fact no medication for that, apart from gorploads of corticosteroids, which my neurologist declines to prescribe because it's "only" sensory impairment at this time, not pain or motor disruption. Which is why I can still more or less type with my left hand, even though I can't really feel anything with it.

He wants investigatory MRIs, of course, but the only MRI machine any of us has been able to find that won't send me clawing at the walls like the guy in The Cask of Amontillado is 150 miles away and out of my health insurance's network. Oh yeah, and I can't have MRI contrast any more because I only have one kidney, so the two scans he wants will take upwards of 45 minutes each.

In the midst of all this, I have somehow managed to pull an all-sixes-out-of-six annual review at my day job and, despite the fact that the Student Accessibility Services office at UMaine declines to take any action with regards to the course I'm enrolled in right now because the professor told them its in-person participation component is totally non-negotiable, I have not yet missed enough of the sessions to insta-fail it. Yet. If I'm not cleared to drive and sit around for hours without my foot up when I talk to my regular doctor about this leg thing on Tuesday, that may change.

I had high hopes for the rest of this winter after the success of the December push. I guess that's what I get for optimism.

   > Elon, stop showing off launching your toys into space and get on that robot body replacement thing already. Fuck's sake.

Are you sure about that? I hear that there's a planet out there where you can get a metal body for free.

Can you get your doctor to classify your issues as a disability? Even a temporary one? If so, your university might be a little more responsive if the Americans with Disabilities Act comes into play.

So far as the sinus infections go... yeah, that sucks. I've been diagnosed with chronic sinusitis, and had surgery about a decade back. It just makes everything else worse.

> He wants investigatory MRIs, of course, but the only MRI machine any of us has been able to find that won't send me clawing at the walls like the guy in The Cask of Amontillado is 150 miles away and out of my health insurance's network.

All in all, just another brick in the wall. Best wishes for you.

   (Oh yeah, I probably should have noted that six out of six across the board is good in the review system my day job uses. That and not having failed a class yet are the good parts, such as they are.)

I might be wrong, but with your health problems I'm thinking that the ADA kicks in and he has no choice. But I could be wrong.
