I couldn't change the emoticon - so it doesn't reflect what I feel

I first I found V6 exciting and really liked the new layout and commodities. But it's a bitch to work with! Browsing is excruciatingly slow, there's some skipping of pages, pages take forever to load...It took me half an hour to upload something small. There's a bug when I submit prints - it won't accept my images as a prints.

I didn't expect this, the previous versions worked fine. I am pretty disappointed. DA is important to me, with all my lovely friends, and I can't for the moment experience it as before and draw as much pleasure: I'm too limited by these bugs!

I know it's a tradition to change the skin every year, but I feel like they "improved" my favorite brand of soup and it doesn't taste as good anymore.
If something works, why tinker with it...

On the other hand, my mother bought a fractal tee-shirt at Red Bubble, and my boyfriend is going to buy one in a couple of weeks! It's very encouraging.

So for the moment, I'm going to upload my prints at Red Bubble.

I couldn't change the emoticon - so it doesn't reflect what I feel

I got my scan results today and I feel . My kidneys show normal; then why do I have a renal function of 85%? My family doctor had no answer. She's a resident at the Health Center that I go to, and I don't feel comfortable with her. Her beside manner is often lacking - she's sporadic: tries to be nice, is often impatient and intolerant if I don't agree with her, and doesn't hear what I say. On top of it, she seems determined to find me a cancer! I think that I'll ask her boss to swith me to someone else. How I miss my old doctor! She got sick and had to retire.

The situation here with doctors is bad - a lot of them go into private practice or move to the States. It's very hard to get a doctor, and here I am stuck with residents. I guess that I'll have to get an appointment with the nephrologist to clear things up.

On the bright side of things, my boyfriend's therapist offered to exhibit some of my paintings on the bare walls of her office, saying that she has a very well-off clientele! That's what I need, art appreciators with !

Thank you sweet friends for reading this and for your support!

Hello my friends! I've been asked a few times about my health, I'm quite happy to say that I'm getting much better, almost like my normal self! I can take walks without wanting to crash down every second block, and I feel much less pain in my limbs. Also, I don't feel all the time now!

Although I've not had yet results of my kidney scan, the two specialists I saw told me not to worry, that I didn't have a serious kidney disease. So that's great news. My kidneys' function are up to 85% now.

I've had a crappy weekend computer wise. I've renewed my antivirus suite, and that usually simple procedure turned nightmarish, and since I've switched to ADSL, there are major bugs! I got so that I wanted to the whole thing! Well, you know about these things...

First, I want to thank you my friends for your caring. I'm touched. I received so much positive energy! No wonder it went so well!

Both specialists were very reassuring, and happy to be. It seems that either I have remnants of old kidney stones, that may cause the blood I had in my urine this autumn, or that my kidneys are aging faster than me. My kidneys function is 85%, so it's still very good. No big disease or pathological dysfunctions, just small things out of wack. I still have some tests to undergo yet, to confirm things.

I've been starting to feel stronger for the last two weeks, I'm able to walk for longer periods. I feel relieved....I finally have hope that it's going to get better!
