Random update

Random middle of the night update about not much in particular.

This past week went by pretty quickly.
Physically, I've felt decent, maybe a little tired. However, that may have to do with not sleeping properly also. My numbers are all still "golden" according to the dietitian and others at the clinic, so that's good/encouraging.

Mentally, the past few days have been pretty rough. I have no idea why. Nothing's going on to make me think any differently. I've just been in a funk. I keep worrying about things, even though everyone says everything is going absolutely as well as it could be. I keep thinking about the worst outcome of everything too, and freaking myself out about that. Blah, I've handled everything pretty well so far, where's this coming from? By the way, sorry for the lack of posts or updates this past week, guess this kinda suffered from all this too.

In related news, they were supposed to have the kidney transplant eligibility meeting this past Thursday, so we should hear something this week. Please keep me and my family in your prayers as we wait for hopefully some good news.

Also, I asked the social worker this week when I could expect to hear about disability benefits since it had been a while since she said she had the stuff on her stuff. She told me to call Social Security and find out because it had definitely been long enough. I called, and they said they had no record of me filing for disability. I personally didn't, but when she told me she had it all on her desk and she was sending it to them, I took it for granted that she had done it. I don't know how these things work yet, and honestly I wouldn't expect to have any idea. I told the social worker they had nothing, and she told me that she has no idea what was on her desk at that time in that case. To quote Julian "WHAT THE CRAP!?". Isn't that her job? She's supposed to be one of the best people I can go to for help with all of this and she's been totally useless so far. I know being frustrated doesn't help anything, but come on, I can't really help it with that kind of a response. Luckily, I was able to keep it together until I got home, but grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.

Outside of all of this, my family and I went to Tahoe today. We drove around, had lunch, and found a place to play in the snow. It was pretty fun. It was definitely nice to be able to get out of the house for something besides dialysis. The weather was really nice there, although it was extremely foggy when we came back down into the valley.

Anyway, I'll try to get some more stuff up here about everything this week. If you ever feel like having a chat, feel free to send me a message on here or Facebook, or give me a call, 916-960-9781. Anytime is fine with me.
