I'd rather stick needles in my eyes, not

Mun Mun went to another eye specialist today who thinks Mun Mun has a rare condition called punctate inner choroidopathy, which I guess is part of a spectrum of disorders called Multiple Evanescent White Dot Syndrome (MEWDS). What is it with my family and rare diseases that only 1 in 100,000 people get?

The doctor is going to track the blob in my eye. I may have to get an injection of steroids in my eyeball to make the inflammation go down at some point. If it comes to that, bring on the Valium.

There was little boy ahead of me when I was waiting to get blood drawn to see if I have West Nile Virus or some shit. The boy was screaming his head off for about 15 minutes while they were trying to pin him down to draw his blood. He screamed that he wanted to get his lollipop and go home. I could relate.

Hey, Stell...what he said. Let me know if there's anything I can do. (I'll be coming up there most weekends, now.)

Love,
