Absolutely nothing exciting has been happening, most of what’s to follow will explain why.
“Health is not valued until sickness comes.” I’m more enclined to agree with that now than I would have before Christmas. I did finally get my cat scan. I was hooked up to an iv of dye to highlight my blood vessels in the scan. I thought I was fairly prepared when they told me ‘you’ll feel a bit warm for a short while’. How uncomfortable could that be? The ‘bit warm’, felt like my hands had caught fire and it slowly spread. Strangest and worst feeling i’ve encountered in a long time. Other than that, it was pretty routine. I was in and out in 20 minutes. Now for the longest part, waiting the 1-2 weeks for my doctor to call. I haven’t thought about the results once, i’m either too afraid to think about it or genuinely believe i’m fine.
The slight cold I was developing in my last post managed to transform itself into full blown tonsillitis. 3 nights without sleep, a very tearful visit to the doctor and yet another course of antibiotics later, I got rid of it. I never wish to experience pain like that again.
Germany is booked. On the 5th of March ten of us are off to Hannover for CeBIT. \o/
I’m almost officially ‘old’. Less than 10 days until I can finally say goodbye to the ‘teen’ on the end of my age. And I also have my best friend home for my birthday, she’s been away for almost 8 months and she’s moving back to ireland next week 
So, a summary of 2008 so far, in two months - two trips to the doctor, two courses of antibiotics, an x-ray, a CAT scan, 11 cold sores, and several colds. I’ve started taking a lot of vitamins to try and ward off anything else that would like to mess with my immune system. I think I may be somewhat broken.
