I'm not really doing anything in terms of activity (unless you count blogging). You're aware of the previous few months, but you're not aware of the fact that I had a Dr. House moment the other day and had a swollen left pinky toe that was the size of a cucumber for almost two weeks. When I went to the doctors (Urgent Care) the doctor, who couldn't be any more than... say 8 years older than me, told me I had gout.
If you're not familiar with gout, then you're obviously not over 40 years old, live in a third world country, or eat a diet primarily of protein. Gout is not something that 22 year old males who are in good health get. On "King of The Hill", Bobby Hill developed gout after eat chicken liver for everything after he developed a new love for deli food. But I haven't done that. Sure, being back in the real world I've hit a few parties that friends and family had, I went to bbq's that people did and I drank a lot of beer in a short period of time (don't tell anyone though). But gout? Double-you-tee-eff!
After I went to a doctor that graduated college before the year 2000, I was told it was an infection that was caused by a hangnail on my toe that spread bacteria. Eww, I know. But it's a lot better diagnosis than gout! To make matters worse, the gout medicine and the steroids that I took exacerbated the swelling.
So coupled with trying to find my stride, a lack of ideas on what to do, and the recent medical malpractice, I've been rather low key. But I promise you that when I get back in the swing of things, I will actually give you portions of my life and talk about actual events/activities and movies.
