noxcatI'm waiting on a call from a nurse to call and set up my actual telemedicing call from my Kidney Specialist. No ncticable new symptoms,but it's been a year or so since my last appointment, so it's overdue. The nurse did tell me my Prograf levels were elevated, and if true, we'll need to discuss lowering them. The drug is toxic to kidneys at higher levels, so it definitely is concerning.
My biopsy results are in, and I have skin cancer again. This makes it a total of5 spots I'vehad to have removed, but these last 2 are basal cell carcinoma. So 2 different cancers. Yay me? Since it'sa step down from what I had before, I'm using the term "nuisance cancer". Or more accurately: "fucking nuisance cancer".

Not a lot new going on. Of course not, I'm still in lock down! But it does seem like locally we've crested the first wave of COVID,since hospitalization numbers are going down. The death rate is still heart breakingly high, though Especially now that it includes children.
+++
I did not join any official or unofficial protests. I wished I could have, and I do miss the days when I was healthy enough (and didn't live next door to hell0 to do so. And the security camera footage of a few assholes using the protests as an opportunity to commit crimes made me furious! All I gotta say is "crime knows no skin color, so WHY are prison populations so disproportionately high?? Oh right- White Privilege. I hate the existence of that concept.
+++
And the urge to be cretive right now is quite high. But that urge is also highly frustrating, because, AS USUAL,my space to do so is quite limited. And I'm not finding any creative ways (heh) to improve my space situation.
