I'm going to the doctor today. I've finally decided it's time to do something about my issues.

I'm taking Max and getting a referral to a pediatrician. My brother thinks there are some problems with his movement and suspects it could be cerebral palsy (or a similar brain disorder). At this stage, CP would be the best diagnosis as it's not degenerative, so we'll see. They don't diagnose till after 12 months usually, but with any luck, its just physical therapy he needs which I've been giving him so far anyway. Anyway, it's a long story about how we've come to this point, and maybe I'll post it some day, but right now it seems like a bit too much effort.

Jesus Christ, Ali!
That's just horrible.

I'm hoping it will all turn out to be a false alarm.
But he is your boy, he is beautiful and he is loved.
So whatever the outcome I know you and your family will deal with it.
I hope it's not wrong of me to hope it's not necessary.

Tonight I got a migraine.

Not like a whiner's bad headache, but a real migraine. Seeing flashy lights, nausea, couldn't stand upright, sure as hell couldn't read a book out loud to my kid, because even though I have the stupid thing memorized I couldn't even manage to talk...

But the good news is, this only happens to me once every 2-3 years, and I've learned exactly how to make it stop. I stuck my finger down my throat and puked violently--and about five minutes later I was happily cooking dinner, 100% pain-free.

Am I the only one this happens to?

I got bitten by a mosquito on my right knee while hiking last Saturday and the bloody thing is still itching.

That just ain't right.

Since I'm already here, I figured I might as well whore myself out once more.


Step, wiggle, step, wiggle, pout, turn, repeat.

I don't really remember for sure, but part of it is always mild nausea, and I just get this feeling that I really, really want to throw up--but it never happens on its own. I've spent too many years learning how to suppress my gag reflex.
