The Rs

 Results-Pat test results still show kidney damage but the function has improved. We have not talked to the doctor yet. He has an appointment Monday I am expecting the same old same old-drink water no caffeine, etc.


Results- Barrett's Esophagus, of course, has no dysplasia so that is a relief. Watch my diet, take medicine do not get heartburn at all.


Runoff-Early voting starts next Saturday for the GA Senate race between Incumbent Warnock and challenger Walker. Neither man received 50%+1 in the general election so here we go again. In 2 years we get to do it again. YAY.


Recipes- I need to write out the recipes that I just do. I have a book to put them in. I think Brook might want them. I don't want something to happen to me and I can't remember them. My granny had several strokes and could not remember everything. I have had one stroke already so it could happen to me. I need to get busy.


Good night

rare event

 Well, it is a rare event when I post here. I guess that fact it has been over a year should tell you that. I can't seem to come up with much to say.


Things are poking along here. I had rotator cuff surgery a couple of months back. Swapped out one pain in the shoulder for another. Hopefully, I will get my strength back in my arm and range of motion. Bursitis settled into my elbow on the arm I had surgery on. Why? I mean, really? My shoulder doesn't hurt enough let's throw in some pain in another spot to complicate things.


Pat's dementia is progressing. Not really fast, just enough that I notice it. His memory of events can be faulty. People say they(people with dementia) remember the past so well. Not true. Sometimes they combine memories and turn them into whatever.


We go next month to a skin cancer specialist. He has a horrible place on the back of his ear that I finally got someone to look at. Fairly certain it is cancer. He had skin cancer some years back on his face that looked somewhat like it. It is raw, bleeding, and has a hole in it. 


Some days I just feel old and sad.
