Woah h oho so here\u2019s another update since I am still not quite<\/i>\u00a0back on my normal schedule:<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The apartment is still covered in boxes, BUT we got a laundry key today – finally <\/i>– which means I can actually wash my good clothes instead of digging through the bags of clothes that are probably all going to end up being donated. Yes good.<\/p>\n
Wednesday was interesting.<\/i>\u00a0Part of it involved my mom swooping in to take me to Urgent Care because (and this is TMI, I\u2019m so sorry) my leg was leaking fluid.<\/i>\u00a0The doctor actually listened to me and did the tests unlike every other doctor that I\u2019d asked in the past few years, and yes, I have been officially diagnosed with lymphedema. Which sucks, because there\u2019s no cure. But he prescribed me a super strong diuretic and ordered me to eat a banana a day and to go see a primary care doctor ASAP. This means I\u2019m finally going to be able to get help instead of a lecture about how I\u2019m fat. \ud83d\ude1b At least, that\u2019s the hope.<\/p>\n
I\u2019ve already lost 6lbs… in like 1 day. WOO. And also gross.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The same visit came with an xray for my wrist, which is not broken but badly sprained, AND a lot of blood work, which thankfully ruled out other health problems (kidney, liver) that I was worried about… well, except for thyroid. Normal TSH levels are 0-4, with 5 being considered\u00a0\u201chigh.\u201d Mine was 25. Oops. So I\u2019m severely hypo again, which probably explains why I have been so exceptionally<\/i>\u00a0exhausted lately.\u00a0<\/p>\n
This all boils down to me needing to, like, sleep more, up my medications, and spend less time at my computer desk… so it\u2019s a good thing I\u2019m not taking on new commissions.\u00a0<\/p>\n
But hey, my novel is up to 63,000 words now. That\u2019s exciting. And I still love my job. Still broke, but not homeless, ad not quite starving yet, either! I need to mail everyone their stuff (soon) and get the apartment put together. All good things.\u00a0<\/p>\n
For now, though… it\u2019s only 10:30 on a friday night and I already want to crawl into bed. So I may do that.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
