RRRRAAAAAAANNNNTTTTT!!!!

So basically I'm having a real crappy time as of late!

Firstly, I'm out of work. My contract came up and I have been unemployed again as of last Friday.

Secondly, me and the missus haven't been communicating very well recently, or for that matter actually spent any real quality time together in a long while. It's annoying me a lot as I usually put time aside to make the effort but it's almost like I'm being kept at an arms length at present.

Thirdly, I was out for a walk earlier along the seafront when my craptacular 'problem knee' decided to literally start falling apart on me... every step brought a new creak, click, pop or squeltch to my attention until finally the thing just siezed up and gave out on me... my whole bloody knee is killing me... front, back, sides and even under the kneecap!!! As I've been pondering it for some time I'm thinking this is probably the right time to go under the knife for a 5th time!

Fourth, I got a routine call from my doctors with my blood test results which are pretty much unchanged over the last 6 months, showing a large elevation in my liver function which nobody at the surgery to date has had any explanation for and their only advice has been "have another blood test in 6-8 weeks time..." FINE but when the causes of this problem are usually due to alcohol consumption, drug use and/or smoking (of which I haven't done any for a long time) it gets a bit disheartening to never have an explanation or a plan of action. I mean come on... it's been 6 months now and I have had bad digestion problems and acid reflux (worse than normal) steadily increasing over this time surely we can't just leave it untreated?!

Finally, I just burned my arm with boiling cooking oil...

 

Wow... sucks to be me at the moment eh?

   Feels good to release some steam, eh? ;)

    What kind of contracts are you working on? What line of work?

   ..and the relationship part you pinpoint in your rant. Communicate. Make time. :)
   
   Your knee and liver however seems to be another story..
   My problem with such stuff: I hate doctors and hospitals, so you're one step further than i'd probably "ever" be. ;)

   It's 2008, can't they give you robot legs by now? or did movies lie to me during childhood :(

   Hopefully the doctors can give you a proper diagnosis soon! are you private / NHS?
