Self-Diagnosis

It's 1:30 here, Guatemalan time, and here is the Elizabeth update:

-Her soul feels refreshed.  Her mind feels rested.  Her need to socialize has been fulfilled.  Her spirit still seeks God.
-She is still awake.  This could be due to several factors, most notably two cups of coffee with dinner along with a little bit of Pepsi.  It could also be due to her body's pains.
-Given the pain in her body, Elizabeth has been self-diagnosed with the following (in collaboration with WebMD):
  • Sciatica.  Nothing says good morning like the knowledge that as soon as you try to sit up you'll feel a sharp pain in your back side, followed by a nice, steady pressure and pain once the spine compresses as you stand.  Hello, world!
  • Kidney Stones.  This diagnosis is still flexible.  It has been upgraded from a diagnosis of appendicitis.  However, confirmation with sources has proven to be inconclusive, rendering this diagnosis potentially inaccurate.
***Can you tell I'm a bit of a hypochondriac when I don't know what's wrong?  I may soon be visiting a doctor...that should give me more to write about! :)
