[ General information ] ♞ [ Commission info ] ♞ [ Open slots and commission status ] ♞ [ About me ] Dear friends, Patrons, followers!
I felt it's time to give you a little update.
So my blood test was pretty good, though it revealed two potential issues. One is high uric acid, which can lead to stuff like kidney stones and gout down the line. It can be addressed by a change of diet, but sadly all the things I should be eating for losing weight are the exact things I should avoid or keep down for the uric acid. And the list of stuff that should be fine for both is the exact list of things I hate. :| Ugh... Fuck you Life, for real. But hopefully, I can figure something out.
The other potential issue is a too high liver related value, which is weird because I drink extremely rarely, and don't do anything that should mess with my liver. So to be safe I was sent for an ultrasound screening. Appointment in mid-January.
The first blood pressure med was giving me a bad side effect so it was changed. The new one takes 2-3 weeks total until we can really tell how it works, but these past few days I've started to measure better blood pressure values so that's a good sign. With some luck, it works out and we don't need to change/adjust it. I'm also feeling a bit better I think. Checking back with the doctor in January.
And I'm still trying to get in touch with the psychiatry to get a damn appointment finally.
As for my training machine, it is missing somewhere in shipping - the warehouse in Romania says they sent it but the warehouse in Hungary says they never received it, so now I'm waiting for the seller to figure out what the fuck is going on. I'm disappointed because it was supposed to be delivered before the holidays. :(
Meanwhile, I had and have to deal with a bunch of other problems. My cat needed medical attention with an inflamed toe growth. At first, the vet said if it doesn't clear up it may be cancer and the toe may need to go... luckily, it did clear up but it was giving me quite some stress. I finally got my state insurance out of limbo, but now I have to pay it, and the tax agency billed me for two years worth retroactively, that I'll need to beg them to please let go of, but their online system is absolutely unusable so I'll have to go in personally sometimes. And there is also a very large water bill thanks to some miscalculations on the provider side that I'll need to sort out somehow. I could really use a break...
So overall, some steps were made in the right direction, and I'm trying to be positive. But also there is a lot of shit still hanging above my head and I don't feel like I have to strength to deal with them. But I have to... I have no choice. I just hope I can sort things out before it all comes crashing down.
So I just want to thank you all again for supporting me and believing in me. It really means a lot, and helps a lot. And hopefully this next year I'll be seeing more art and fewer health problems from me, fingers crossed.
I hope you all had a good Midwinter or other holidays, and I wish you all a better New Year!
