I've returned to SL and Gor, and will be keeping a separate blog about my adventures as a kajira. I will be starting with my old serves from the last time I was active in Gor, then moving on to more recent things. Mostly it will be my serves, but will also have posts about stress I deal with.

Whew, a lot has been going on lately. I've been having 2-3 appointments each week for various things. I've been in contact with the DVR (division of vocational rehabilitation) to help me get back to work. They wanted some proof of my disabilities, so I had to get a letter from my doctor, do a hearing test, etc. During my ENT appointment the doctor asked me about my crooked nose. I've never injured it as far as I know, it's just been gradually getting more crooked. Found out I have a deviated septum, and was scheduled a surgery consultation.

The consultation went ok, found out that it's been causing a lot of problems that I more or less ignored or thought were caused by other things. My migraines, nosebleeds, sinus infections, and inability to breath through my nose while laying down are all things caused by this. The doctor classified by case as "severe" deviation, as well as having a bone spur that is blocking one nostril and pushing the tissue over to block the other.

I might also be getting surgery done on my sinuses, open them up some to help with drainage. My sseptoplasty is scheduled for Sept 28th, but won't know if I need sinus surgery as well until Sept 23rd (when the doctor reviews my CT scans). I must admit, I am rather nervous about the surgery. I had kinda been hoping that I would be told that my nose is no issue, not that it's causing a lot of problems and I need surgery. On the other hand, I am looking forward to getting this fixed.

My immune system has been kinda crap since my kidney infection a year ago, and the sinus infections were bad at the beginning of the year. My tear ducts kept getting blocked as well, and I was getting eye infections and cellulitis (infection of the skin). Hopefully this will help keep down the number of infections, and maybe get rid of the dang pain I always have in my sinuses. Not sure if it will help with  the sinus pain from sunlight, but that would be pretty dang spiffy. I can't be in unfiltered sunlight without pain (unless I wear sunglasses), so would love to get help for that.

If nothing else, I want the migraines gone. I thought they were blood pressure related, but I still get them now and then while on verapamil. It's not as bad on the pills as it is off... if I forget to take them for a few days, my migraine gets so bad that I literally bang my head on the wall to distract from the pain. With the medication it doesn't get to that point, just to me laying in bed whimpering. Either way, I get migraines at least every other week, sometimes once a week, and I want them gone! My migraines last 2-3 days, so even every other week is disrupting.

So yeah, the septoplasty and possible sinus surgery will be very very good for me. I'm just not looking forward to the bleeding and not being able to blow my nose for a couple weeks. And no way in hell do I want to go out in public for a few weeks afterwards, or however long til the swelling goes down.

Today I will be meeting up with someone that I've discussed doing booty calls with . We are just gonna have lunch and get to know each other a bit better (I've known him online for 3 years, but haven't met face to face before). Hopefully we will hit it off and I will end up with a new playmate.
I went out to a pub last night to find some fun, but not a single person talked to me. The only time anyone hit on me last night was some guy while I was walking to the pub... but I wasn't fond of the fact that he asked a random woman on the street if she is married or has a bf, and he kept staring at my chest. I WAS thinking of picking up a stranger, but, um, no thanks. That was just a bit TOO sleazy for me.
Hope things go well with this guy, though. He was my first friend in second life, and someone I trust quite a bit. He knows about my illness and isn't bothered by it at all. He's seen me go kinda nuts while drunk, and still likes me. He's seen me be a dancing cow online and put on his thinking of Arby's hat... and I know he loves his dear online woman, so there won't be an issue of him falling for me.
Well, time for me to head out and shove him into my bag o' men! Even if we decide to just be friends without benefits, I know I'll have a blast hanging out with him. And there's always more .
