Appendicitis

Well, a friend of mine got appendicitis a few days ago and had to go the the hospital to get an appendectomy. Now he is in Germany recovering from the operation. Now I'm thinking, "How does one go about getting appendicitis?" I figure it's a win-win situation: I get rid of one of my most useless organs and I get a vacation in Germany. How much can it really hurt?
Aside from my plans for malingering, Iraq is still the same as it was before I went on leave. Actually, I think it is worse. Having been deployed for 9 months with no real break from the routine, I grew accustomed to the drudgery and just dealt with it. When I went on leave, I was reminded what life is really like and how great it can be. Well, now that was all well and good when I was on leave, but when I had to return to Iraq, it made it more difficult because that taste of freedom and vision of a beautiful world were fresh in my mind. I guess I should say that leave served to remind me of everything I am missing over here, which was at least in the very back recesses of my mind, if not completely forgotten, beforehand. However, none of this should give anyone the notion that I would take back those two weeks for anything.
Sorry for contradicting myself, but that's usually how my brain works, always balancing the pros and cons of the situation. Overall, leave was great and I can hardly wait until I'm back in the "States" again.

California residents do get free tuition but you have to reside in California for 2 years and your parents have to claim you on their California tax return for those years. UC students pay fees ranging from $3,579 to $4,594, and Cal State students are charged a State University Fee of $1,428 plus various campus fees. When the $6,800 average for room and board is factored in, public university students face an annual bill of over $8,000 for 2003.

Because of appendicitis I am having the time of my life. Vienna, Austria was pretty sweet man. Hopefully Petey is here by this weekend because I have a trip to Berlin planned. Anyway an appedectomy only hurts for like 2-3 days after the surgery, the pain now is tolerable with the aid of some drugs. Well I have seen quite a bit now, to include Frankfurt, Heidelburg, Vienna, and a grip of other towns I can barely pronounce or remember there names. I only wish the US had public mass transit this good.

It is no secret that I have a very deep and personal relationship with God. I have pushed and resisted that relationship this past year through all the bullshit I have had to go through living with Herpes but once again, God is bigger than my stubbornness and broke through that outbreak cold sore and all I had Genital Herpes. For me personally, hearing over and over how I am not good enough has really invaded my mind in the worst way possible. I completely shut down and I was just waking up like is this how life going to end this temporary herpes outbreak “fuck everybody with herpes if you know what I mean” but let's be honest here...
It is cowardly to say no to herbal medicine. It is fear based. And it is dishonest to what my heart wants. Don't build a wall around yourself because you are afraid of herbals made or taking a bold step especially when it's come to health issues and getting cured. So many young men/ women tell me over and over that Dr Itua is going to scam me but I give him a try to today I feel like no one will ever convince me about herbal medicine I accept Dr Itua herbal medicine because it's cure my herpes just two weeks of drinking it and i have been living for a year and months now I experience outbreak no more, You can contact him if you need his herbal medicine for any such diseases like, Herpes, Parkinson, Diabetes, Hepatitis, Syndrome, Cancers, HIV, Epilepsy, Infertility, and any kind of disease & Infections Love Spell,. Email..drituaherbalcenter@gmail.com then what's app.+2348149277967.... My advice to any sick men/women out there is simple... Be Always an open book. Be gut wrenching, honest about yourself, your situation, and what you are all about. Don't hold anything back. Holding back will get you nowhere...maybe a one way ticket to lonelyville and that is NOT somewhere you want to be. So my final truth...and I'm just starting to grasp this one..
