All's been fairly quiet

Other than medical tests

and such

Well things have been fairly calm. Until you count last week when I had to prep and have a colonoscopy. The prep is brutal. I had to drink 4 full ltrs of the cleaning out fluid. (read liquid draino for the body) There was nothing at all left in my body. 

Good point I lost about 4 lbs of waste and water..... So *thumbs up*

The procedure it's self is done under anesthetic, so you hardly know what's going on. They did remove one polyp which turned out to be pre-cancerous. Doctor said he got it all and I don't have to go through the whole process for another 5 years.    I slept a lot for the next couple of days. 

But I'm not sure if it was from the prep solution or the anesthetic (doc says no to the anesthetic) but my spinal surgery sites have been numb-ish in feeling. Also my lips and tip of my tongue have been numb-ish feeling too. I have to bring this up with my doc when I see him next week.   

Also my back is hurting so bad. I nearly passed out from from the pain of standing. It's getting to the point where more than 5 minutes on my feet and I'm hanging on to things to keep standing.

Found out some things I can no longer eat because of my CKD and I was in tears. Some of my most favorite fruit and veggies is on the list of things I'm not allowed. 

I already can't have my beloved grapefruit because of some of the medications that I'm on *cries*  But now I can't have starfruit, pomegranate, broccoli, and a bunch of other thing. I was literally in tears and having a panic attack while reading the stuff I have to not eat or only have a minimum amount of.

Nothing really extraordinary on the SPD front lately.  Neighbor has a friend who rolls into his drive way, radio blaring, then honks the horn.  X^X  Not fun.  

Oh and we've been officially adopted by one of the neighborhood cats.

We'll be getting our promised kitten sometime next week. My friend from PA is driving the kitty here. We've named him Smudge. And he's a cutie

I really hope the adopter cat gets along with the kitten. 

But I can tell you that kitty therapy is and has been good for me. I need the tactical feel of petting something soft to help calm me down.
