lirazel: An outdoor scene from the film Picnic at Hanging Rock ([sk] some sunny day)

well!

It's not my gallbladder! It's also not hepatitis, which they thought it could be for a bit. But I spent all day in the E.R. yesterday and had lots of fun experiences with needles and IVs and such. They still don't know what originally made me sick, but they think the reason I've been SO sick for SO long is that I had a really, really bad reaction to the antibiotics I was on? And that my liver is FREAKING OUT, but they don't know why?

So we don't really know, but hopefully I'll start getting better now that I'm not on that medicine? I just MISS FOOD. The last time I ate anything at all was Friday, and that was just an orange and some crackers. The last time I had an actual meal was Tuesday night. So I am just SO READY for my stomach to stop trying to expel itself from my body.

ANYWAY, just wanted to say thanks for the well-wishes. I now intend to catch up on TV (Ringer, which might suck but HELLO MY QUEEN! the Emmys, which always make me angry! Doctor Who, which always makes me conflicted! DOWNTON ABBEY WHICH ALWAYS MAKES ME FLAIL WITH JOY!) and dream of the day when I'll be able to eat actual food again instead of living on Gatorade and Popsicle.

Ugh :(. I hope you get Real Food really soon! *fingers crossed*

Also: yay, Downton!

I'm glad you got a diagnosis of sorts. Hope you feel better soon. I had no idea you were that sick - thought you just had a bug.

POSITIVE VIIIIIIIIIBES!!!! And icon for you.

I've had bad reactions to antibiotics before and felt dog-sick even if I quit them after 2 doses. To go through a week of that before the docs figure it out? OUCH.


I've missed you on the internets. And I've been meaning to ask you for advice on "casting" actors for a book series I've been reading. Would you be up for a discussion by email?

Yay! It's not something super scary, but Boo! they don't know what it is.

Ringer was bad but it wasn't as bad as it could be, and I have a five episode rule, but for SMG I'll make it ten episodes to get me hooked. Besides, the pilot was all the big reveals we already knew because we've been consuming previews and spoilers for this show like crack. And JASON DOHRING will be coming on eventually. LOGAN IS BACK ON THE CW! WITH SARAH!

Still haven't watched Doctor Who - but it will be hard to surpass last week's tearjerker that had me cheering the return of assertive!Amy and booing the actions of the Doctor.

The Vampire Diaries was cracktastic, and if you care anything for the BROTHERS relationship you should catch up because SHIT IS GETTING REAL.

I'm downloading Downton tonight. Have you seen the Emmys yet? I don't want to spoil the fun with my flailing about this show.

THIS WEEK COMMUNITY AND PARKS AND REC RETURN! MY SHOW AND MY OTHER SHOW!! And I just heard an AWESOME SPOILER for my Community OT3!!

What else have you missed . . . oh! I can hook you up with downloads for Buffy Season 9 #1. It was a bit disappointing compared to the gravity of Angel & Faith, and I thought Buffy would show a bit more responsibility, but it's jokey fun, and [livejournal.com profile] coalitiongirl and [livejournal.com profile] gryfndor_godess have already written shippy fic for it!

AND SEASONAL SPUFFY IS UPON US!

So there's lots to welcome you back. You were missed.

I hope something helps soon!

Oh hon, I'm so sorry to hear that it might be serious, but I'm relieved that you're getting medical attention. I'll be thinking of you, and I'm always here if you need distraction or if you just want to vent ("LAUREN.WANT.FOOD. WHHYYY?!" <--- I understand).

Catch up on TV and just relax and take care of yourself. Maybe a friend can come over to give you some TLC? I know your mom's been busy. Essentially: I want a body over there giving you TLC, k.

I've been away from livejournal for a bit and didn't realize you were sick. Sending massive (((((((HUGS))))))) your way. I hope you feel better soon!

Ugh, so sorry you've been so sick. :\\\ Hope you're better real soon.

UGH, that sounds like no fun at all. Hope your tummy settles down soon! I had a bad reaction to an antibiotic when the Crohn's stuff first started, and it's AWFUL. And I'm sure you know this, but DEFINITELY write down the name of that antibiotic so you can tell any future doctors.

I just MISS FOOD.

OH I KNOW THE FEELING. If you start dreaming about mediocre restaurant chains, that's when it's really gotten serious. (But don't worry. It was a couple months before I started craving Red Lobster.)

Oh my gosh, hon. I'm so sorry that you're so sick. I wish I could say something that would make you feel better. Here. Have a random David Bowie gif.

OH! I'm so sorry to hear that you've been going through this mess, but glad you're on meds and getting help.

I'll send lots of positive vibes your way. I wish it could be cheesecake!

Oh man, that sounds awful. I hope you start feeling better very soon! <3

Ack! So sorry to hear you're not feeling well! Glad that they're ruling some serious stuff out and actively working on fixing you, though. I hope you're feeling better today than you were on Monday! *BIG HUGS*

Belatedly - I hope you're feeling much better now! :)

Dude, WHAT? I'm gone for a week and you get diagnosed with not-gallbladder issues and not-hepatitis? What is this?

I will be praying for you lots and wishing you the tastiest possible popsicles and much happy-making TV.
