Update on life

[allykatb]

So, it's been a while since I posted something other than a meme. I went to the doctor last Monday and was told she thinks I have sleep apnea. I have to go to this clinic, pick up this weird device and do a sleep test. Apparently I put some sort of electrode on my finger and it measures my blood oxygen levels through the night. If they go down, I'm not breathing. Which would be why I'm always tired. So, if this gets cleared up, I may start being able to sleep more and not almost fall asleep at work.

I also got some stuff for my hair, which has been thinning. I'm going bald!!!! Anyway, it's not approved for use on women in Canada, but it is in the US, so they gave it to me anyway. I get to spray it on twice a day and hope my hair grows back.

And last but not least, I'm getting more blood tests done. "Weird and wonderful" according to the doctor. They're FINALLY checking my thyroid, which I've been asking them to do for a while now. I'm also getting checked for a bunch of other stuff that, according to the doctor, if it comes back positive is "like finding out you have hemophilia. Joy. While it would be nice to know what's wrong with me, I hope it isn't anything too serious.

Anyway, that's about it going on in my life. I have to work six days in a row next week, which is not going to be fun. But apparently I'm going to be training some new people. And! I have exactly 30 days until I'm done work. Yay!

On a slightly negative side, I found out that I can't play oboe anymore. I tried last night and it didn't sound good. I think I'm going to keep at it and hopefully re-learn everything. I miss playing and I need something to cheer me up.



PS. Icon is only because I find Heartless cute. At least the Shadows. Not the big, scary, don't-die-even-when-you-hit-them-over-and-over kind.

wow, lots going on with you lately. I wonder if they have a club at school for people with numerous irritating diseases. We could start one...lol...good luck with all that. And you'll totally get the hang of the oboe again...once you learn you don't completely forget. I have some fun easy oboe music lying around somewhere. I could e-mail you a couple of songs if you want.

Yeah, thanks. I downloaded a bunch of anime sheet music, but I'm not sure I'm up to it yet. I'd love to see what you have. Anything easy. Like, just learning easy.
