Oh yes - my picture of you is a good one - and you got me to find and post my pixar owl - and I like the colour - I love the colour
Only 150 appointments in the last 6 months - you are beating me - I see my doctor twice a week and my medicare repayments nearly cover the cost now - I thought I was spending too much time there - but then - I nearly always see the same doctor
You have muscles in your stomach - they are all over the place and you can pull them - years ago I pulled muscles around a rib - coughing - and that can still hurt - so yes - it could be a pulled muscles -
I don't think they can see endometriosis on an ultrasound - I am seeing my grand-daughter tomorrow so I will ask her how they found out she had it - I think they treated it successfully
No wrist-slapping needed - I have just about finished with the books - now I am not moving all the bitznpiecez I have on the shelves until the company comes to do the spring cleaning - I have a queen bed in a small room which is a problem.
We both had a crappy day - but tomorrow has to be different - it was cold today - though sunny

I'll look it up on the internet
Unrebatable appointments add up - wow - you must be thoroughly fed up with all of it
I was ill when I was about your age - grumbling appendix - Mum took me everywhere but the pain was up under my ribcage - what was that - my mother was told she was a nervous nelly - but I had appendicitis
But that was before ultra-sounds etc - and it was a mystery - but twice in my life I have been dangerously thin - and that was the first time -
I will sort these books out - many of them I still use which is why it gets a bit untidy - but there are text-books and I read those books in a different millenium - way far out - I do not need them
Other people might though - so I don't dump them - I move them along

Explaining all those medical appointments explains why you have been so scared @outlander - but I can be very freaky if I have to have something done
I had surgery on my knee a few years ago - I couldn't keep out of the toilet and I was running off at the mouth and freaked out - really bad - but I tend to tell jokes that I invent on the spot
I had to take my glasses off of course - and I was in the pre-op when a man's face came out of the fog and asked if I knew who he was - or that was an invitation to any comedian - if he didn't know I was in trouble
It got better - he asked me what he was doing - even worse - right knee - okay - more jokes - and then he got a texta and drew an arrow pointing down on my right thigh - correct leg - correct joint - drawing with textas - I still laugh about that
I started to laugh and they hadn't given me the laughing medicine yet
So I really get it - I understand - and my knee operation was fine - and my knee is fine - and I don't want any more operations
If you fall asleep good - I will let you know when I go to bed

Hi and bye @outlander
I am off to bed now - and I hope your night isn't too bad - maybe you are asleep already which would be fantastic
I am falling asleep - can't type
All the best
