Yes indeed, there is a lot to be grateful for. We all met up on Wednesday for a Spanish socially distanced tapas. The food was dreadful, really but seeing shanti, my grandson, Bo who is totally beautiful was great. Fell in love with the baby and took,photos of him in my sons arms just gazing at him. Well yesterday was my 3 year gf anniversary. I had a long chat with my friend Charmaine with cancer who had done exceptionally well on radiotherapy alone to the ex tent she is now looking for work. She still has a small secondary in her lung but it is not growing and will be monitored. So it is possible to survive years with what used to be a death sentence ie stage 4 cancer. My GP called me late Thursday evening and said that she agrees with me that I am excreting large amounts of protein but with normal kidney function and something is awry somewhere so a referral to a renal physician. I have known this for months but did nothing about it and during lockdown I have struggled with energy levels having days where I feel quite tired but I am not alone in that. She said my white cell ***** had been chronically high which she never told me before. I told her it was the inflammation in my gut which is reasonably under control And she agreed. Comes to something where u have to tell your docs what is wrong and the cause of something rather than them working it out. With my medical knowledge I know that this could be something sinister and rare like Amyloid or a recurrence of the cancer, but I remain positive and have fixed a kinesiology session for Monday. Seems to all be related strangely to the Dominican episode last May where this all kicked off. Seems to be the week for the kidney as my daughter had a kidney infection, and has been in some pain.
nPete was meant to come round as he wanted to celebrate the 3 years gf which is nice but he got called to help his family on moving stuff for his half brother who is in hospital. I could tell he felt bad about that and said he would come much later in the evening. I said not to as I would sooner have quality time rather than grab an hour in the evening. So we will see each other today ie Saturday and he is coming round early.
