I’m so sick. :x The overload of sodium and iron I had late last week was catapulted (some may say trebucheted, even) straight into full-blown overdose illness early Monday morning. Because I was a moron. I had a snack bag of popcorn Saturday night and promptly forgot about it.

Sunday, I woke up feeling bad, and when I went to get the eggs ourt of the refrigerator to make breakfast, I cracked the back of my head on the top of the cooler. I saw stars, stripes, bars, musical notes, birds … And because I didn’t give a shit about anything by then, Preston left home to scout for food. He came back with a 15-piece meal from KFC. I was hungry. I didn’t give a shit. I ate. And then I ate more for dinner.

And the TMI part is behind the cut for you “sensitive folks”. fomcrotflmao&stdc

I was on the phone with Jane earlier (Thomas’ “other grandma”) . Dr Goebel finally called her back …

Thomas isn’t doing as well as we thought. His creatinine level is 4.1mg – in a healthy adult male, it’s usually .06-1.2mg per decaliter … So not good; he has entirely too much protein in his blood. And he has 28% total kidney function, which is up from what it was, but even so. So Dr Goebel is putting him on a medication to control that – and after a week, he has to go into the clinic there in town for a urinalysis and more bloodwork.

And instead of going back in September like we thought, looks like we’re going back at the end of May — which means I may not get to go to that convention I wanted to go to in June; I only have the money to go either to Cincinnati (to the doctor) or to Nashville (to Hypericon), not both. However, we’re to the point where we’re going to have to start my medical tests looks like, so I have to go this trip in case Dr Goebel wants to talk about that.
