It all started last Thursday or so. After a few days of my elbow hurting me, it was just starting to get better. Then it was my knee that started aching. Intersting, I thought. By Saturday night, it was very painful to move on it. By Sunday morning, I was limping like I should be ringing a bell at Notre Dame. Off to the Garden City Treatment center. They X-Rayed it, took some blood work, including a Lyme test, and sent me on my way, with the same prescription for anti-inflamatories they had me on for my elbow. I stayed out of work the entire week, aching, limping, pills doing seemlingly nothing. I cranked it up a notch and went to my “real” Doctor on Wednesday. He sent me to a specialist, took some more blood and even some fluid from my knee. Pleasant.
A day later, I have Gout. Pseudogout, actually. ( Not “sudo gout” like I initially thought, any *nix geeks reading? ). Wiki Article. When I asked the Dr how I might get this, he said “You wake up.” I take that to mean, there was nothing I couldve done to avoid such a fate. I am still layed up, and probably will be for the weekend, again. Drop by the house if you are going to be in the greater Narragansett Area.

I have been moved out of Cranston since Monday. I must say, it is pretty nice to be out of the house again. I love the Rents, how can you not? They’re so cute with their trips to the Casinos and dinners and all that, it was almost tough to leave… almost.
I am now in South County, RI. Being a truly RI location, as there is no such county as the County of South in the state. I’m in Narragansett, RI a block from Scarborough and 1/2 a mile to Narragansett Beach. The commute is an unheard of 40 mins to Coventry, but again, a small price to pay to live across the street from the ocean in a nice fully furnished cottage. The place is just big enough for me and Mikey Favic. And best of all, we have a porch. I am a big fan of the porch.
Plenty of friends down here already, bunch of college kids, this being URI’s playground and all that.
Looking forward to the whole adventure really.
