It’s been pretty hectic the last few weeks between moving and kidney stuff. But we are comfortably in this new place, temporally, house sharing with a few people. The way we have everything set up right now, has the girls and the boys in separate rooms in the basement and the parents upstairs. We are all doing really good (even with our sleep schedules being messed up). It’s too hot to be outside, ‘Cept I keep going outside… Because the backyard here has lots of shade and frankly it’s nice to read outside. When it’s not 100 degrees. Or when there isn’t children back there…
I still have two blood draws a week which is very frustrating because it usually seems unnecessary. But the Kidney Clinic’s are now in the afternoon and not too-early (probably normal people) hours. We haven’t had many changes in clinic besides many medication changes (I’m off of two more meds!). I have been having some problems with my blood pressure because my new kidney is still over working and I was still on quite a bit of Blood pressure meds, because my blood pressure was dropping lower, and I was getting super dizzy and lightheaded whenever I stood up. I am still slightly dizzy whenever I stand. But it’s getting better! I’m still not feeling great overall but it’s loads better than it was. We even went on (at least) a mile walk yesterday.
School is now over for the summer (the boys are SUPER excited) I finished a week early as a distance learner because I couldn’t go to the last week fun activities, but I don’t mind at all. The day that everyone else got up Leatha and I went to the store and got…books. Six books each. It was nice. I even got Classic books instead of others because…I like classics and history. I do plan on taking a few, fun, not required summer classes so my summer isn’t boring and completely pointless.
Cat Update(?) All the cats have been stressed in the move but they’ve been doing pretty well. Bones is up and everywhere, not really bothered with the move. Tortuga, surprisingly, has been really good and exploring and social (to at least Leatha and I). Captain though has been very grumpy and hiding but has been coming out more the last day or so. He’s still cuddly at night so its a win. That’s it really, they’ve been good but still getting used to everything, to be fair so am I.
