And after a mildly uncomfortable morning, and eight or nine days of feeling like I had a hernia or incipient appendicitis...suddenly, I feel fine. I've felt fine since well before noon. What the hell could THAT mean?
Chronic appendicitis is the most likely explanation I can come up with. I'll talk to my doctor about it when I see her in a couple of weeks. I hope she decides to go with antibiotics rather than surgery!
Update: Er, yes, I do realize that diagnosing myself is stupid, and I could be completely wrong.
In the meantime, by the way, I've upped my vegetable and fruit intake, reduced the amount of other (bad-for-me) foods (without reducing them beyond sustainable levels; I'm not trying to be a saint, here), and increased my level of exercise. I'm trying to encourage Teri and Sebastian to do the same, as much as possible. I've lost a bit of weight in the past week, and I plan to lose more.
