Sorry, I haven't been writing

Neon sick in bed watching the stars

So it’s been the first time in two months that I’ve felt good enough to write. Now I have to get into the habit again.

I managed to go to the Hemotologist because of the low red blood count but by the time I saw him, it had gone up that he saw no problem with it. Also he didn’t see the high iron. He did say that I had anemia, but at this point my body would heal itself. I’m keeping that a positive point because for a long time I was sure I would end up back in the hospital with a blood transfusion. No shots either.

So I have to bring this back to the UMC transplant office on Thursday. It is really hard to say that the blood doctor didn’t find anything too abnormal. I was put back on a pill for the CMV virus and that is what has been making me feel better every day.

Also I had a high Co2 which makes my stomach bubble. The help for that is Sodium Bicarbonate in pill form.

So more labs and we will see if my viruses are finally gone or on their way.

The politics have been crazy. I’ll have to quit watching it because I seem to get worse when I watch the two parties and their supporters do crazy things. It also gives me a stomach ache that 4,000 Marines are being shipped to the Middle East. I don’t want to see another war. I’ve already seen damage on the Vietnam, Iraqi, Somali, and Afganistan Vets. Such young people are devastated that they can barely stand the civilian world.

More suicides.

So my two points are: I’m getting better and I need to quit watching the news and politics again.
