#tumour

In the span of under a week, I have made jokes about Iron Hands being autistic because of that one animation twice, discovered that Xisuma (yes that Xisuma, the admin of Hermitcraft) has made guitar covers of six Metallica songs and two Judas Priest songs, warmed up to the songs Harvester of Sorrow and The Memory Remains (both of which (alongside at least three of the four songs from the Black album that I warmed up to last week) felt fairly inevitable), officially discovered Black Sabbath, Judas Priest and Iron Maiden even though I said I was gonna wait until I was at home, had some decent headphones and had listened to Piece by Piece by Slayer once last time, listened to Sabbra Cadabra once and Breaking the Law seventeen and a half times in the same day but somehow got both songs stuck in my head a fairly even amount that day (if anything, the song that got stuck in my head the most that day was Sabbra Cadabra), discovered I have a benign kidney tumour which I’m 99.9% certain is angiomyolipoma (I don’t actually remember what the doctor said specifically but what I remember him saying matched up best with AML) - I’ll wait until I get the clinic letter in a few weeks to say for certain - which is probably (at least at the moment) nothing to worry about and it definitely currently feels like nothing in comparison to the neuroblastoma I had when I was younger, discovered my ballet teacher hasn’t scrapped the frappe exercise anymore (thank you, I love that exercise), wondered if there was a “red flavour” for my noodles, discovered that it is entirely possible to get a song stuck in your head for a decent amount of time when you’ve only listened to it once if the song’s long enough (I listened to an Iron Maiden song which was really long. I checked a few minutes in (I’m thinking two for some reason) and there were still 9 minutes left), discovered there is “red” flavour for my noodles and that I had it at home already, made another joke about Wake being the only dinosaur among the Past Paradox Pokémon, realised there may be an actual red flavour and that the one I had was more brown (these are talking about the lids of the noodle pots. I don’t have synesthesia), made a joke about Fire and Boulder loving the song Rock Hard, Ride Free by Judas Priest and discovered that the meat in the green noodle flavour was actually mushrooms (of course the green one’s vegetarian! Why didn’t I think of that it’s so obvious), which means I’ve been tricked into eating a food I don’t like for a while. Pretty productive week and the weekend’s only just arrived

so turns out, i do in fact, have a benign tumour in my head on my pituitary gland at the good age of 22
