I spend little time on the web these days. When I am online, Iâm usually playing Hexic or looking up medical stuff. Journaling has become difficult. It isnât that I have nothing to say. Quite the converse: I have too much to say, and organizing the jumbled thoughts I have on a daily basis daunts…
OK, so the Prius cost me $600. Who knew that if you left the gas cap loose (something I’ve never done before, and didn’t do this time on purpose) that it would cost $120 just to reset the stupid computer? With the 60,000 mile work and inspection/emissions, there went that wad of cash. Additionally, I’ve…
I continue to feel overwhelmed. The little Prius isn’t helping. The check engine light came on today on the way to work. As a result I need to figure out a juggling routine that allows me to get my car looked at (state inspection and an oil change are due anyhow) and still allows me…
I’m tired. I’m stressed and I’m not coping well. In fact, I’m fairly well tired of coping. Let someone else cope for a while. To briefly recapture events of the last two weeks: Feb 12: Felt like I was coming down with something. Went to work, but hung out in in hottest rooms I could…
So THAT’S what acute organ rejection feels like. I’m on a ton of drugs, some old and some new. The steroids are doing a freak-out number on me again, but they’ll be tapering down soon now. Thanks to the steroids I’m a newly minted diabetic; with luck that will also taper down along with the…
Freaking fever has been all over the place today. Last I took it, it was 102.6F. Sorry Celcius people, I’m not up to converting at the moment. I called Big City Hospital Liver Transplant. They recommend going into a local emergency for a work up. She listed a bunch of tests, but I had a…
Sick yesterday. Fever stayed within half a degree of 102 all day. Less sick today. Temp running between 100 and 101. I’m assuming flu, even though I had the flu shot. Strangely, there’s virtually no upper respiratory component, just high temp and mild nausea. I feel wiped.
Being naive, I googled “oriental vs. Asian” to see where I had gone astray. I hate unintentionally offending anybody; I prefer any offensive remarks to be painstakingly planned. My first hit was: Model Minority: The Guide to Asian American Empowerment. Until this very moment, I had been quite unaware of either the “left-wing-politically-correct-thought-police-mind-control” or the…
Wednesday I started the ultraviolet therapy. They’re taking me up really gradually, so the doses I got this week were really short. A few things I hadn’t actually thought about until we got started. One of them had to do with protective wear. Although I’m getting full body exposure, there’s a few areas that we…
I have a small family. Two sisters, that’s all there is. My parents were both only children. There’s no aunts, no uncles, no cousins. Neither of my sisters had children, and I have no children. No kids, no neices, no nephews, no grandkids. This actually makes for a complication-free lifestyle in many areas of my…
