i have been in the presence of swine flu without realizing it.
kate! so have you.
katherine has it. but i don't think she was contagious at the time.
but if i start getting ridiculously ill, i guess i'll know.
pig flu!
last night i started freaking out about these bruises i have. i have one faint blue, raised one on my thigh that i remember getting. i have one really ugly purple one on the side of my knee that hurts and i can't explain, and i'm developing a third on the other thigh.
i sometimes get little brown ones on my shins (and i've had a few on my arms once or twice) which, after a bit of interweb searching, sound like they're relatively common in women in their early to mid twenties.
anyway, after getting all hypochondriac-y (because of course mysterious bruising can be a sign of leukemia. or hemophilia, in which "bleeding into joints is common." oh god, my knee!), i decided i should probably see a doctor. i mean, i have insurance. plus while i'm there i could ask about the random abdominal pain (ovary? appendix?) that's not as bad as it used to be.
okay, i don't think i have hemophilia. the only symptom i would have is bruising. i don't bleed spontaneously, any cuts i get stop bleeding pretty much right away... yeah. i don't have any other leukemia symptoms either, so my hypochondriac side should probably just calm down.
although i think i should probably make a doctor appointment now.
edit: tuesday. doctor. blurgh.
