General update thingy.


  • Yeah, I wandered off for as few days. My bad.

  • I haven't slept very well for the last few nights. So I've been a bit of a zombie during daylight hours.

  • But there is big news!

  • I've been off oxygen for almost 2 weeks, including the Reno trip, and my saturation number is staying well above 90%!

  • My pulse rate is still getting a little high when I exert myself, and I still tire easily, but those are more from me being out of shape.

  • Emailed my doctor to let her know. Hopefully, the Oxygen people will be able to come and take all this away!

  • Need to win the lottery before Worldcon. If only so we can eat at the Atlantis' steakhouse.

  • Winning the lottery would solve many problems, actually.

  • I'm winning the battle over the infection in my esophagus. A few more days of meds and I'm done.

  • Unfortunately, the medication for the infection doesn't react well to my blood thinner.. so I've been back on Lovenox shots since this thing was diagnosed.

  • [livejournal.com profile] kshandra and I are both going to be happy when we're done with this series.

  • In other health news, I've ditched the home care nurse. I'm healthy enough now to go to the hospital for my blood draws.

  • Just have to remember to hydrate heavily before going.

  • My beloved Giants are 1.5 games back of Colorado after sweeping the Rox in three really amazing games.

  • Two of the games were walk-off wins in the 9th. The last was a pitchers duel that we won 3-0.

  • Meanwhile, the San Jose Sharks seemed to be poised for their inevitable post-season choke.

  • Good thing I don't really care about hockey.

  • Starting to prepare for Baycon. It would be nice to know what panels I'm doing, even if there isn't a firm schedule yet.

  • That way I can start putting things together for a better presentation.

  • OK, time to consider food.

Once you've considered food, consider the conversation I'm having with [livejournal.com profile] baronlaw about Mr. Bigglesworth over in my journal.

That is great news, Doug!

... mutters darkly, 'Stupid Sharks' ... but they've been hella fun games to watch.
