I guess we're in a waiting game
I'm really hoping for my scan results for my neck and some more tests for my congenital short-term memory issue. Everything feels like it's taking forever these days, and I'm finding it tough because of how my health is affecting my life and memory. On the bright side, my chronic pain condition seems to be a bit better managed now, but I do feel slower than before.
Yesterday, I had some blood tests done, and they couldn't draw any blood because my veins are dry due to fluid loss from my healtth issues. So, I need to up my fluids to make sure the next attempt goes smoothly.
I'm trying to stay positive and keep busy by spending time in the garden-weeding helps keep Hazel happy.
I look forward to getting back to normal once all these tests are over-they've actually been able to reduce some of my medications.

I just got a scan because my neck issues have been getting worse and spreading to my spine and shoulders. I'm waiting for an appointment to figure out the next steps. The day after, we're going on holiday and coming back Sunday. I had blood tests before we left because I've been dealing with short-term memory problems too.
My big hospital visit is next week in teh north east part of town. We decided to take a break because my sister-in-law has possible terminal cancer that could go on for years. Poor Pax isn't coping well with the heat, so we might cut our trip short by a few days just to mae things easier.
Hoep you're doing okay!
