Been a month now since Baba passed. The few couple weeks after getting back home I felt mildly depressed. Just tired, no motivation, sleeping more, apathy, moving slow. Turns out (and I think) it was grief. I've been feeling more normal these past several days.
With the UTI still not gone, started to wonder if it was a kidney infection. Especially since the UTI didn't completely cure it. Will need to see what needs to be done for a healthy kidney. Also, Michael Chang's IG post talked about tapping, and I noticed when I tap my face, my left cheek is tender. Seems odd so I looked into it. According to Chinese medicine, it could be a weak liver. Guess I've been drinking a lot since the Belgium trip, then Baba passing, Mitsu coming over, then Emi coming over. Plus having a lot going on and being tired. Making notes for the future...
Decided to get something for my sleep apnea. I prefer a night guard but we'll see. They might insist on a CPAP. So I need to establish care with the Eisenhower Sleep Center. Next available appt for a consultation is October 19. Trying to get my medical stuff this year since we've met the deductible.
Bloating got a little better for a few days, found an acupressure point to massage and it seemed to work a little. But depending on what I eat/drink, it puffs up pretty bad. Need to make an appt with a GI as well. And maybe get tested for SIBO.
BP seems to be doing alright. Not really taking the amlodipine at night unless my BP is high. Last reading on Aug 9 was 113/84 (81). Just now was 120/94 (77)
