January 8, 1991: The naturopath destroyed Nancy's mother's theory about Nancy's stomach pain by pointing out that the gall bladder isn't under the belly

Thirty years ago today

            I read Nancy the first month of my 1990 diary, which included the account of me taking her virginity. She was embarrassed. 

            We made love until 2:30 and then went to sleep. At about 4:30 she woke up with a severe pain in her belly that wouldn't away. She'd had it before and some said that it was her gall bladder. We called up Bridget the midwife and I was impressed that she didn't even flinch about being woken up at that hour. She advised Nancy to get an ultrasound to find out for sure. Nancy called her mother as well and she wanted to cleanse her gall bladder. 

            I didn't get much sleep. 

            I was at Chris's place at 8:00 and we went directly to the job site in Scarborough. We finished at 15:30 and he drove me home. 

            Nancy's mother picked us up at 17:00 to go and see a naturopath, who was a sexy older woman from Russia who thought she'd seen me before. She destroyed Nancy's mother's theory by pointing out that the gall bladder isn't under the belly. Nancy's mother was offended that she didn't want her in the office. The naturopath thought that what Nancy actually had was a mild hernia. She gave her some homeopathic stuff in an alcohol solution to preserve it. 

            Nancy's mother dropped us off at Yorkdale. Nancy got pissed off at her sister Susan over some confusion about money. She told her to fuck off and walked away. 

            Nancy failed at her own bank machine but got some money from mine. We shopped for food and then sat in the mall and had a nice long talk.
