Popping in!
Guess I should actually update. Though not too much to write about right now.
Stuff has mostly been the same. Just working and relaxing, nothing too exciting.
Health stuff has mostly been okay. Supposedly my kidney function has improved. I do still get tired out fast, though I don’t think as bad as it was. I finished off the iron infusions they had me getting which did help slightly. Haven’t had to get the shot I mentioned in the last entry since my numbers aren’t low enough for that thankfully. Will probably have to eventually though.
I guess that’s it. I just wanted to update a little something here.
Finally some more productive stuff and good news!
Rather exhausted right now. I finally was a bit productive even though I wasted half the day lazing around and playing a bunch of Theatrhythm Final Bar Line on Switch.
See, the upstairs which I primary use in the house has been a mess for ages. I’ve been slacking for probably over a year with cleaning and honestly living like a pig. I used to at least clean weekly but haven’t for a while. Some is I think depression and some is just lack of motivation and maybe energy plays a part too. Anyway, it’s been a mess. I’ve been picking here and there at it, but mostly failing because I don’t put in the effort.
Today I finally buckled down after wasting most of the day and got on it. I cleaned up my room, the hallway, and the bathroom. Everything looks and feels way better even though I’m exhausted from it. There’s still stuff to do, but that I’ll try to work on gradually probably. It’s way, way better now. Kinda proud of myself for finally doing it.
Some good news on the health end too. My one doctor that was refusing to believe I needed iron infusions she last mentioned some shot. Don’t remember what it’s for exactly, but to help me make red blood cells or something like that? Don’t remember. Anyway, she must of been in contact with the kidney one about it, and I guess he agreed it could help, but he found it usually worked best after loading the patient up with iron so, finally, finally, I’m going to get some infusions! Hopefully they perk me up a little. Not too thrilled bout the shot, but she also say depending on levels or whatever after the infusions I may not need to do it right away. Hoping not. Makes me nervous. Just worry about side effects and stuff.
I get my first infusion tomorrow after work. Hoping it helps!
Some more updates
Why look an update not months and months apart! 🤪
Honestly didn’t feel like writing this but making myself.
Health wise stuff is mostly the same. Still trying to get started on more infusions for my iron and stuff. That has been…an experience and not a good one. Hopefully soon I’ll be able to.
Besides that got tests done on my bladder. I have a tendency to leak and what not so they put me on stronger medication. Dunno if I like it as it causes dry mouth and may have given me thrush which is annoying. If it’s a constant thing I don’t know if I’ll stay on it. My throat is sore too, but I got a lot of congestion right now in my throat and chest and my throat is sore. I think that’s more the weather messing with me. I’ll have to I guess take some liquid cold medicine since it doesn’t seem to be improving. 😩 I hate that crap.
Oh, and the kidney doctor wants me to see a rheumatologist. Didn’t make sense at first since I guess they’re mostly for arthritis. But they also deal with stuff that’s inflammatory and autoimmune stuff. One thing my mom brought up too. When I was in grade school I was in the hospital for a bit. Had these purple spots I believe which they didn’t know what it was. I tests positive for lupus, but then the second test was negative. She said could be that could be doing something since that can attack organs. Not really sure. But maybe that’s what he’s thinking? 🤔
I’m still tired and weak a lot. I ended up cutting back on hours at work cause of it. Just can’t do it anymore. Can barely do the shorter shift some days. Money wise it’s okay. I make like maybe $100 less.
Honestly all the major updates. Haven’t been doing all that much other then working. Been playing a lot of Switch still. Just finished replaying Grandia and Grandia II. May replay Lunar the Silver Star next. We’ll see.
