2014 might be the most confusing year of my life

I don't feel like thinking of a bullshit intro so I'll just jump right into a bulleted list:

• I might have to have brain surgery. I'm being tested for Cushing syndrome, which is an excess of cortisol in the body (think "stress hormones", and corticosteroids).I have a LOT of the symptoms, so I'm expecting the tests to come back positive. Unfortunately I've been waiting for test results for nearly a month now, because the lab messed up the first time and I had to repeat the test. Anyway, if it comes back positive, the next step is to look for a benign hormone-secreting tumor, most likely in my pituitary gland, which is at the base of the brain, right behind the eyes. The surgery is usually done "up the nose" (remember how they used to make mummies?), which is less horrible than a craniotomy, but... it's still brain surgery. Believe it or not, I'm actually hoping I *do* have Cushing's, because the alternative is that I have diabetes and familial high cholesterol and fibromyalgia or MS or some other incurable chronic pain condition and treatment-resistent depression and God knows what else. So... one disease, with a cure, sounds a lot better than all that.
• I might have to go to court. I'm not in any legal trouble. But I've been trying to get SSI (social security for disabled people in the US) for about a year now, and I'm at the stage where you bring your case before a judge. I haven't been assigned a hearing date yet, but I'm sure this will happen this year.
• I'm getting married. A wedding and brain surgery in the same year? Why not just shoot myself in the foot right now and get it over with? But see, we got engaged in November and found out about the possible Cushing's in December. We're planning to get married in the early fall, which already leaves us with less than a year to plan (which, according to every wedding website in the entire universe, every engagement apparently lasts exactly 12 months...). If we push it back any later than early fall, we'll hit New England winter, which just isn't gonna happen. So then we'd be pushed all the way back to like, April 2015. I don't wanna wait that long to get married, so... onward and upward! (Of course, if I have serious medical complications we'll have to push it back, but right now I don't even have a confirmed diagnosis yet, so early fall it is.)
• We're probably going to be moving. Ah yes, the curse of the twenty-something: moving every fucking year. I'm really, really tired of moving, but our current landlord never repairs anything, we're on the second floor which is not ideal when you have chronic pain, and more intuitively, this place really just doesn't feel like home to us. I doubt we'd really be moving very far, but it's still a huge ordeal even just to find a new apartment, let alone physically move all your stuff across town.

Also I just remembered my partner wants to find a better job and possibly go back to school this year. So yeah, 2014 is not looking easy. You know the really stupid parts of a video game you play through to get to the good parts? Like fighting through a cave full of Zubat to get to the Safari Zone, or dealing with the torment of the Water Temple so you can get to the pretty temples? I think 2014 is going to be like that. It's going to be hard and frustrating, but I know all the things I have to do this year are necessary to get to much better stuff later on.
