Lack of motivation followed by paresthesia

Hey Everyone,

Sorry I haven't broadcasted in a while. My excuse started as just being lazy, but now its evolved into something a little more respectable; I can't really walk. On Tuesday, while giving Jacob a hard time about how the lack of nutritional value in our meals, I noticed my toes were blue. No pain signaled it, I just all of a sudden had a smurf foot. That went away shortly after I elevated my legs slightly, but then I started feeling pins and needles in my feet, legs and hands and EXCRUCIATING pain whenever I tried to walk. I went to the emergency room when, after an hour, sensation still hadn't returned to my feet. As a result of the doctor's INFINITE wisdom I was prescribed the wonder drug Tylenol. After we begged, they also ran blood tests and found nothing. I'm fairly certain that doctor got her medical degree from the internet.

Anyway, I haven't been able to walk since then. Ive stayed in bed almost non stop. Yesterday I had my follow-up appointment with a doctor at 2:20, which wasn't kept because she had called in sick. Again, more begging ensued, and instead of being sent home like everyone else, we were gifted the opportunity to wait in the most uncomfortable chairs in existence till 4:40 to see a nurse practitioner. First they checked my blood pressure and weighed me (stand on the scale was great fun, let me tell you), and they hinted that a bed was available. Alas, the front desk staff ALSO got their degrees from the internet and no bed was actually ready. (Turns out they had listed my chief complaint as 'dizziness' in my file, nothing about it being impossible to walk. Genius.)

The nurse practitioner, when we finally saw her, was abrasive at first. It only took explaining the INFINITE wisdom of the emergency room doctor for her to become very nice. I have tests upon tests in my future, blood work, MRIs, things like that. It could just be a vitamin deficiency or it could be something more serious... Who knows? Until then, I'm literally not going anywhere.

If anyone has a spare cane they don't use anymore, hook a sister up! j/k, it wouldn't actually help.

Ciao

Challenges seem to generally require money...

Hey everyone,

Long time, no broadcast! This charity challenger business has become expensive and time consuming. I'm trying to find good broadcasts that won't eat up a lot of time and money. Hopefully I will be broadcasting again soon!

Also, paypal is kicked (as in fired). I've reached the limit of donations before it requires that I give them a percentage of the earnings. While its still just a small percentage, I really don't want to force people who are donating to a good cause to give paypal some of their money. It just doesn't seem right, especially since paypal is a fairly crappy service. I'm just going to put the link of the charity on there now, and interested parties can donate though them and send me an email with their donation amount.

So, if anyone finds (or better yet, creates) a good non-cost inducing challenge I can do, be sure to let me know!

Cheers!
