Updating the story
A little bit of an update on my health. I had an appointment with the nephrologist today. It went very, very well. The guy looks a bit like Ryan Stiles but I think he'll be great. A big change from any experience I've ever had with a specialist before in that he actually listened to me and acted concerned. Ah, he's probably just new.

I have been booked for a couple of procedures over the next few weeks, including a CT Scan. He has no easy answers yet, but seems to feel fairly confident we will find the issue. He also told me I may have to have a small operation similar to an angioplasty but for the tube between the kidney and the bladder. Of course, it's still too early for any major decisions.

I also had an email from my boss today basically telling me to take today off and to stop worrying about it that much. So I did. And it's been great. I feel pretty damned fine tonight. No major pain and relaxing today has given me a lot of energy. It's been a while since I could say that!

I spent the day attempting to finish my Christmas shopping. I'm now down to just 1 left and it's my brother who's a 3XL type o'guy so it looks like Thursday, I'll go down to the Big and Tall shop and if that fails, there's a liquor store close by. I think I can be forgiven if my presents this year are not the entirely most thoughtful I've ever done.

I learn. A lot. I push myself. A lot. The world is a small place, and getting smaller every day.
