Problem List Continues

My lovely wife Shawn has a lot of medical issues... on one of her many forms at the doctor's there's a list of her ailments and the sheet says, as it reaches the bottom or the printed page, "Problem list continues." We have long joked that this is the title of her memoir.

Medical stuff is under the cut. The down and dirty is: Shawn is okay, but remains a medical mystery. We will be seeing a urologist ASAP.

I really had wanted to do more processing about how I felt about this year's low-key gathering at WisCON, but my brain is fried after five hours at the ER yesterday. I am very glad we went. Despite the doctor's attempts to undermine Shawn's sense of her own wellness, Shawn's instincts are good. A  few years ago, she was the one who decided that she just didn't like feeling unwell, and BECAUSE A DOCTOR LISTENED TO HER, they discovered a blood clot that, untreated, would have killed her.

This time I wish Shawn had gotten clearer answers, because the not-knowing is very stress inducing.  But, we are taking steps to uncover this mystery.
