It is the final day of 2021, so considering it has been two weeks since my last entry, I need to get one more done for the year.
Christmas was extremely quiet!
This was the first time in 37 Christmases together that my wife and I have had neither children, nor family over. It was so strange!
However, I still made a nice dinner of our Christmas favorites, and we ate some delicious leftovers for several days.
I started the new med (Cozar/Losartan) this past Wednesday. I have had no apparent negative side effects, but my morning BP has dropped from the mid-150's (systolic) down to the low 140's. The evening reading is still high, but slightly better.
My December infusion of Belatacept went well. Nothing else to report on this.
My headaches have been up and down. For the most part they have been nominal from day to day; but last week I had a really nasty non-TMD headache pop up late in the day. With sleep, and my strongest med, the headache had retreated by the next morning.
After a month of not working out [due to exhaustion and general tiredness], I finally got a session in just yesterday, and I used lighter weights and fewer reps. My next workout will be tomorrow, and I'll return to the heavier weights, and just go with how I am feeling on the reps from exercise to exercise.
I found out a couple of days ago that I am not yet active on the Transplant List after all. My coordinator informed me that the Transplant Committee wants an in-person visit with the surgeons, as well as a visit to a Urologist because of my latest PSA (Prostate Specific Antigen) being slightly elevated at 4.41. This number really isn't anything worrying, but the Committee is just being cautious. Those appointments are yet to be set up.
Oh...do you remember that I stated in my last entry that the Wuhan Virus vaccine side effects were gone?
Wrong!
Since I wrote that, I have had several more instances of blurry vision in my L eye, AND a few episodes of suddenly getting hot again. This is so much fun... :(
There have been several days that have again found me not feeling well. Luckily, it still goes away within several hours, or by the next day.
My sleep has been good, and my dreams are still under my complete control. Water and fluid intake remains consistent from day to day, and my appetite has been relevant to my lack of exercise. I'm sure this will increase now that I am getting my workouts in once more.
So that is all for today, and for 2021.
May you all have a safe and Happy New Year of 2022!
