Along with everything with everyone else, it became constant and annoying around the first of this year. The swelling led to sweating, and because the compression socks were getting soaked through a couple of weeks ago they started wrapping my legs in bandages. Putting all the problems together they said it was being caused either by my heart or my liver. Either one is equally bad, just different.

A week or so ago I was seeing the Liver Doctor. She was once again telling me how bad my liver is, and she said she would show me the numbers that explain it all. She brought her computer to the proper screen, and then did a double-take. It seems she had been going by the test results and hadn't looked at the numbers herself. She then told me that they start worrying when the numbers reach 14. My level is currently just below 9. Apparently my liver overall as bad as they thought.

Then today I was seeing the GI Doctor about my intestinal problem. A recent scan and biopsy showed on infections or inflammation, so I get to stop taking one of my regular medications. He then told me that they had all been consulting with each other and looking at traditional causes and effects. One connection they had not considered took everybody by surprise. What do swelling in the legs, loss of muscle mass, general weakness, and even certain types of diarrhea have in common? Loss of protein. It's possible that I might get rid of all these problems just by eating more meat and other high-protein foods and maybe some protein supplements.

Maybe.

They're doing a CT scan on my liver next week, and that should tell them more. Meanwhile I've let my hopes get up a little. Not too much, because it could still be related to heart disease. We'll see.

AT AGE 68 MYSELF, AFTER READING THESE MEDICAL TRAVAILS OF TWO 69 YEAR-OLD GENTS....., I'VE COME TO THE UNALTERABLE MEDICAL CONCLUSION

: 69 IS NOT A PERFECT NUMBER!

After seven months I'm still waiting on my second lens replacement. The blood sugar levels keep swinging too much for their liking.

We just saw our autiscic son Lawrence (who turned 18 just over a week ago) in the annual Summer musical show put on by a theatrical group associated with his school. He loves to be in this each year and they told us he could really sing beautifully with a bit of coaching

Eisenwurst · 07-05-19, 02:56 AM

Good on him. He's talented like his dad.

Sailor Steve · 07-05-19, 11:48 AM

Eichh, that's awesome.

Me, I got up at 06:00 this morning after more than twenty-four hours in bed. Sometimes I find myself unable to do anything. No food. No research. No gaming. Nothing but sleep. I have been managing to keep all my doctors' appointments, but not much else.

@Eichhörnchen: That is nice to hear, and good photo.

Eichhörnchen · 07-05-19, 01:31 PM

Thanks, guys

That's awesome, Eichhörnchen.

We have talked about Lawrence for years. It's hard to believe he has turned 18. I'm really happy he is doing so well. Please wish him a happy belated birthday for me.

I hope things start looking up for you, Steve.

Not long off the phone with the boy who informed me he was on the nineteenth floor of an apartment block in Indonesia the night before when the area was hit by a magnitude 6.9 earthquake but he is fine and he reckons he'll be moving to another area soon.
