QUICK Update~~

It's...((Yawn...stretch...)) been a while since I posted here, hasn't it?
So, here's a quick update.
I had my gallbladder ultrasound Thursday, but still have not heard the results.
I presume that'll happen soon, especially if there's something going on that needs attention. It was an X-ray not only of my gallbladder, but also of my spleen, pancreas, and polycystic liver. (Yes, part of PKD, sometimes, is that the liver ends up being polycystic too....BUT, whereas PKD leads ultimately to kidney failure, sooner in some people than in others, polycystic livers ordinarily do not fail...I'm always concerned about it, nonetheless.)
Yesterday, I thought it was tailbone season again...and/or Intractable Sciatica season. One year ago, it was, I clearly remember, going Greeting-Card shopping at CVS, and I had already put up with not being able to walk for about a week or so, due to my tailbone being debilitatingly sore, and I was getting damn tired of it too...so, while shopping for cards, I meandered over to the Pharmacy, to the walkers... I was sick of having to hold on to everything and everyone that I could get a hold of, just to be able to walk, and even that didn't alleviate the pain...it just made it easier to walk. The crutches made it even easier to walk, as I then always had something to lean on when walking or standing. I am telling you, last year, that tailbone gave me more grief, and more pain and suffering, than anyone under 40 that I know of, and even more so than some people over 40!!! This year, this pain seems to be in the left leg, but as of yet has not impaired my ability to walk and be productive, so thank God for that!! I somehow feel like I owe it all to being back in San Diego. Californians are so optimistic...so upbeat...it's hard to wallow in my own pain like I was in Cleveland last year!!
Today, my leg seems to be better. But, I've been spending so much time cleaning...cleaning...cleaning...that I'm getting exhausted.
With that, I'll be back later this week.
Love ya!!
