weekend update

Just a brief interruption from regular programming to update my health status.  It's not good news so far.  After the procedure last Monday, the doc is concerned that my condition could lead to chronic kidney problem.  So I have to do another test in a month to see how my kidney is functioning.  And then I guess we will decide on what to do.  Eeks.  Give me something else to worry about, why don't you?

But honestly, I am not sure what more I can do other than to deal with this matter-of-factly.  Put on a (pretend) brave face and just tackle whatever comes my way.  It's hard not to let these things play with your head and knock you out.  But I am too young to be knocked out yet.  It's a long life (maybe), so I really got to do something about it other than to mope and groan and feel sorry for myself for the next few decades.  Life is hard in different ways for different people - you just got to deal.  Tough shit.  That's all.
