Still not dead! And have successfully survived another exam period, which is why I've been a little quiet lately. However! I now have a whole... week and a half... with absolutely nothing whatsoever I have to do. Plans!

On the health front, a spleenectomy looks progressively more likely; I went back onto 40mg of pred after a relapse a few weeks ago and while I am (finally...) back down to 15mg, I probably won't be able to maintain a high count off the steroids. *sigh* the other option is to pretty much leave it, and go back on and off pred as my count falls and rises. Given the frankly unpleasant side-effects of prednisone, I am really reluctant to do that. On the other hand, with a splenectomy I need vaccinations to be renewed every five years, a medical alert bracelet, basically have to go to the emergency room with a fever and the GP with a cough; some countries put you on full-time antibiotics, but even if I didn't go on them (which I'd prefer not to) I'd have to take long-range antibiotics every time I travelled away from a hospital. And I'd be recommended not to travel in undeveloped countries. *glum*
To top it all off, I may be developing diabetes. Anyone who knows me and my sweet tooth knows that this is pretty much the worst thing that could ever happen to me, ever. It's not a sure thing- just one blood test with unusually high blood sugar, a couple points above normal - and some people do develop temporary diabetes on prednisone and then lose it when they go off it (it has to do with the metabolism thing and how much pred makes you EAT, omg, like a fucking horse) but my mother's parents both have diabetes in their line (my grandfather & uncle are diabetic and my grandmother has relations who have died of it). So um, yeah, kind of panicking about that and attempting a full-scale diet change, which is, well, fun.
On the plus side, I had my last exam this afternoon, and can watch Lost and Prison Break in perfect contentment!

You can look forward to Friday, though. Superman Returns is completely awesome. I saw a sneak preview at 10:00 last night.

I have heard only good things about it, so, yeah, I am looking forward to it!
