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

Oh @Shaz51 I reckon waiting is the hardest bit.

Sorry to hear you are not getting sleep on top of everything else

I like @Jynx' power down idea though. I hope you can get some power down time and generally taking it easy.

Re: One Day at a time here

You mentioned you felt sore @Shaz51 is that from arthritis? Do you have a neuropathy from your diabetes? Obviously don't answer these questions if you don't wish to

@Shaz51 Shazzy it’s exhausting just reading your post.
That is hardcore health.

Hugs ❤️ @Glisten

@Till23 yes it is the Osteoporosis pain, no treatment for it yet

Doctor says no

But the specialist says yes to treatment

And I think I may of overdone the gardening , it is free green waste at the dump this week

And hubby wants to use it to downsize the gardens before I go on dialysis

In my family we have iron overload which I am only a carrier but they believe I have it as my ferritine is very high and I should give blood and I will feel better but the doctor is saying no

@Dimity , @Jynx , @Emelia8 , @Till23 , @Glisten , @tyme , @Appleblossom , @Ru-bee , @rav3n , @Oaktree

Well, we took another load of green waste to the dump this morning

these are all my mum`s garden that are raised up and have rock borders

now you can see the rock borders again and thinned out the garden so the other plants can grow now

then I went for a walk downtown (should do this more often) as everyone said hello and wanted to chat to me, must say it was nice 😊

glad we are resting this afternoon; hubby has gone to bed (hardly any sleep last night for him)

Aww it's nice when folks know your name hey @Shaz51! And the garden is sounding lush!

Gorgeous succulents @Jynx

I appreciate them, I have 2 succulents from my grandma and she died in the 1970s. Just took cuttings from her garden and they keep me grounded…

@Shaz51 its great you are getting on top of it, helps for later… as you well know…. Gently bently tho, find the sweet spot of action and rest.

Wow @Shaz51 that's a lot of work. Which actually anything weight bearing or with resistance is good for osteoporosis but don't go too hard because you've got other stuff going on. I hope the physical activity means you get a good sleep tonight
