left the house!

The doctor says he agrees with the ER diagnosis and he doesn't think the colitis will come back once vanquished. YAY. Strangely, he had two other patients recently with the same very uncommon problem, so maybe there's some very specific bug going around? Also, I now have a CD with many images of my insides. Half of the ultrasound ones are my goddamn left ovary, so it's not just that the pain made it seem that way.

Went to the lab for a while and transplanted seedlings because it was undemanding yet still work. PI was pretty nice and basically sent me home to work on data analysis from a reclining position.

But apparently I have a new hobby, to do when I should be working on my OWN research. (I blame you, lakmiseiru.) Bees are adorable, and this is the best macro photo I've ever taken. More photos to come, but they're not as amazing as that one.

In other yard news, the backyard raspberries are more delicious than the raised-bed raspberries. Variety, growth conditions, or what? Wim does not seem convinced by my argument for a common-garden experiment requiring a new raised bed.

I was able to sit up straight without pain for much of today, but that time is past. Bed for me!
