How Are You Feeling Right Now?

Saw this online, thought it was a good reminder.

Exhausted. Thought I was turning a corner with the insomnia but only got about one hour of sleep last night. Was awake most of the early hours then up at 7. Just feel done.

Shitty. I can't even pee now. Have to use a damn catheter. Can't see urologist until January. Fucking US medical system. Not at all sure I want to survive this.

Do you see the urologist to find out why you have retention or to see if it can be fixed?
You don’t have to answer if it’s too personal. Regardless the reason, it’s difficult and unfair.
I hope you feel less bad soon.

TY. I can't get in to a urologist until mid-January. US medical system is really fucked up. I hope he will have some answers or maybe this will clear up on its own. This is the 3rd time this has happened over the last 10-12 years. The other times it cleared up.

Ugh, The third time! I hope it clears by the appointment. Did it last long the other times?

Yeah, it sucks. Did not last long the other times. Only a few days. But they also found a growth on one of my adrenal glands. Have to get an MRI, if insurance approves. At my age, these are usually a non-issue. Gonna do a bunch of blood tests Wednesday. Potassium levels low, blood glucose high. Doc is just going to check a bunch of stuff. Energy levels low. So gonna check iron levels and stuff. Don't get old. It sucks!

It’s amazing how easy it is to get out of whack! It sucks getting all kinds of tests. But sometimes a little adjustments can make a big difference. Once the MRI is completed, they may be able to get you into the urologist earlier. But drs get scarce around the holidays. So maybe not.
Do you like bananas? They are easier on the system than the giant potassium supplements.

Absolutely overwhelmed. Too many medical appointments and tests in too short a time.

🫂🫂It's okay. 😊😊😊

My bad. I thought it was an exam

Let me know how the warranty thing works out, @1964dodge . Lol

@Lane sorry about the bite. sucks to help someone out only to get bit by their dog. I used to daydream about my grandmas dog with no teeth.. It made me a little less scared.. 🤪

@seabird it’s a painful anniversary. So many emotions. Be kind to you.

I started following a local police officer that was shot. A local program did a “hometown hero” type thing this morning. I shot a picture of the tv and sent it to him. He didn’t know he was featured. I didn’t realize it, but it was the anniversary of his being shot in the line of duty.
More about bad anniversaries later.

I read all the feeling. I hear you, even though I can’t respond to everyone right now.

several weeks ago I fell and injured my shoulder. I have iced & taped it in an attempt to heal it. No progress. Went in for evaluation. Need MRI for likely rotator cuff tear. NOT enough ice and tape was used!

Stay upright folks, falling sucks.

Sorry. I wish you heal soon. ❤️

Lousy. Just left ER again. Now have a Foley catheter in. Took 5 hours to get through ER. I am so done with the American medical system.

Sorry to hear what you're going through it sounds awful. I did my best to not reach 50 but these stupid human bodies seem like they can take a battering and just keep going with bits falling apart all over the place - like one of those cartoon cars where everything falls off but it still keeps moving forward...

I'm so sorry. It is frustrating.

Sorry this is happening to you Barb. Sending you thoughts of peace.

Oh no, I am so sorry. You’ve got to be frustrated and exhausted. A drained bladder helps.

Drained bladder does help. Now I just need to find someone to remove it in a couple weeks and hope all is better then.
