Up early to be at LAB by  8  a.m.  Shows I have damaged kidneys, but everything else seems good.  
All of a sudden everyone and everything is  full of kidney disease information, what not to eat,  what to eat how to exercise, and the advice to walk.  Which is the only thing my body doesn't seem to want to do.  I'm going to walk more in the water and begin to do some on land.

It was a very beautiful day.  It is my favorite time of the year.   I must admit I am impatient that I don't feel myself, yet.  It's been a month, time to get back into the groove.  Not true.  And I have been craving ice water, which indicated an iron deficiency, so I have to make a new grocery list based on this new body in this new life. 


Spent time with Patrick today, wished we could have driven out to the Clark, but I really don't have the pep for that.  I like it when we just hang,  but  I also like exploring new  stuff with him.  


I don't think I'll  be able to go to the Y tomorrow, which was my first goal after I got out of the hospital.  I hope by Friday.   I just want to stretch my body out as long as I can. Keep your fingers crossed, send good vibes.  Help me reach the Y by Friday.

August 21, 2026  In 1988 I went through a crazy medical emergency.  It took almost a year for it to come to a place where it was diagnosed and could be treated, which it was, initially under emergency conditions.  This seems to be the way my body operates.  When I went through that experience I suffered from extreme fear of doctors and the medical world and had to put my faith in my Mother and my then therapist's judgement and literally do what they said at the ripe old age of 35.   I worked hard to get beyond that fear and anxiety and through childhood medical trauma.  I was successful because of the work I was doing with my therapist and because the medical world worked hard and getting me to trust them.   Now we speed ahead almost 40 years and I find the old trauma and old anxiety banging around loudly.  That is because the medical system itself has stopped being client centered.  I am due to have surgery and Tuesday and the exac...
