One Day at a time here

One Day at a time here

hello everyone 😎

Was not sure where to write this

so, I have started a new thread

thank you @Oaktree , @Ru-bee for thinking of me today 😍

my results from the doctor was not really good

  • my Kidney function have decreased to 17%
  • my Liver and diabetes levels are up
  • I have Osteoporosis which i will need medication as my bone density has decreased because of the kidney disease
  • they believe that the Liver function is up because of the kidney disease
  • Kidney disease affects every part of your body
  • scan also shows the tinny of my kidney

Re: One Day at a time here

Hey @Shaz51 I just found this thread.

I have chatted with you before on a different thread.

I’m sorry to hear you are having multiple health problems. I suppose a positive is an increase (or at least stabilisation) of kidney function. It seems osteoporosis is currently the thing causing the most symptoms currently. Hopefully you can get that pain under control.

I was thinking of you when there were 4 cyclones near Australia and two near Queensland.

Your photos are lovely but I bet you’re hoping the cyclone doesn’t make landfall. Crossing my fingers for you on multiple issues

Hello 😊 @Till23

How are you going today my friend 🧡, so lovely to see 👀 you

The specialist is trying to find the right treatment for my Osteoporosis because of my stage 4 kidney disease

Yes the silly cyclones , we are hoping they just turn into a lot of rain 🌧

@Dimity , @tyme

Fingers crossed the cyclone doesn't do any damage @Shaz51 . It's the last thing you need.

Maybe you need to build an underground bunker!!!

Re: One Day at a time here

Yeah @tyme I’m not 100% sure an underground bunker is going to help @Shaz51. Maybe a bunker in a solid tree up out of the water.😆

Re: One Day at a time here

@Shaz51 I am doing better than I was when I first retired in December.

I’m sure a lot of that has to do with all the amazing supportive and inspiring people on these forums. Telling their stories and providing suggestions.

I’ve started a volunteer role in which I am finding really useful in giving me a purpose. I interact in person with people who have not fared well in life and many have some kind of MH difficulty. I learn as much from them as any support I provide them.
I’ve also started a couple of other activities as well as increasing participation in my sport.

I hope your own and Mr Shaz MH is going well

A was thinking of a treehouse, but then that won't work either because it will blow away @Till23

@Shaz51 ... I'm NOT an engineer.

Re: One Day at a time here

Ohh you will still have moments @Till23 but you are not alone my friend but well done and keep on keeping on

We are still getting used to retirement too

I think I am enjoying retirement more than my husband

My husband MH is not very good at the moment, he was going to ring his MH team but he has not done that yet @tyme and having trouble sleeping so that affects my sleep

In response to: Re: One Day at a time here

Re: One Day at a time here

That’s one good thing about only sleeping with my pillow they sleep just as good as me and never disturb me @Shaz51 🤣

Re: One Day at a time here

Sorry @Till23 to hear you have or had cancer ❤️

In response to: Re: One Day at a time here

Re: One Day at a time here

Thanks @Shaz51, fortunately both cancers have been treated with good outcomes.

I’m so lucky because not everyone has good outcomes for their medical problems, as you well know.

Hoping you can have a good outcome for your osteoporosis, diabetes and kidney problems etc
