♜ Kasumi's Bouts of Inactivity ♚

Sorry all~ passed out last night, woke up at like 2 am, and got a lil sick from dinner. I'm fine ;w; I have a virtual thing from 11 to 4 pm so I'll be back later. :3 If you guys wanna post to the group thing you can~ I'll have Alban jump in at some point. Or wait for his intro, whichever works :D
 
I suck ;w; something unexpected came up yesterday and I wasn't home. I'm working today at the location where I can use my phone so I may just do that so you guys aren't waiting so long. Anytime a patient comes in I gotta act like I wasn't even on my phone so it may take me a bit. That and I do have to work xD but when I can I'll be working on both posts. For the group one... I'll add Alban's lil profile in later, or at least his picture unless I can do that on my phone yee.
 
Sorry guys, been a busy week. My schedule changed cause someone was on vacation so I was getting up at 6 am here and there to open. Then I got attacked at work today (kinda twice, manager getting the brunt of the second attack) and I'm just not really in any mood. But I do want to post, get my mind off of stuff, so I will do my best once I settle and clear my mind. Relatively free this weekend. Got a lesson for something Saturday and Sunday but that's only for not even an hour, and then celebrating dad's birthday on Sunday but we're staying home.
 
update on the latest happenings:

1. back in June or so: dad's cancer returned. skin cancer. he got the surgery to remove it and last I know all is well regarding that. but that was a nice little hit to my mental being.

2. I got really sick around that time and urgent care had me to go the hospital in an ambulance. was fine, just couldn't stop throwing up no matter what they did. of course, until they tried their strongest stuff, and I begged to go home xD held food and drinks down so they let me go.

3. mom has massive uterine fibriods that need to go. so Sept 9th she's having a total hysterectomy. money issues. major stress led to me flaring constantly. she kept going back and forth on whether she would have it or not, mainly due to money issues. we recently found out everything will be just fine so she is in fact having it done. hospital also told her she basically has to because they NEED to go. she cannot wait until next year.

4. for the last idk how long, 8 months or so? I've been having coughing fits trying to remove whatever is in my throat. fast forward to the Aug 24th when my body decided enough is enough and made me feel like absolute shit, timing was too good, went to urgent care the next day that implanted the idea to use my inhaler and that opened everything up, from my lungs to me realizing I've most likely slowly been suffocating for the past year or so from my asthma. whatever it was, went to work only to get a steroid shot and a nebulizer treatment and go home for the next few days until the wheezing was nonstop and everyone urged me to go to the hospital (Aug 27). in the hospital they said I hit the sepsis criteria and was treated for that. my lactic acid levels rose to major critical levels, etc. chest CT and abdomen CT ruled out everything yet my levels kept rising. if they wouldn't stop, I would have been admitted. thankfully, the next day, they finally went down and they allowed me to return home Aug 28. I'm currently on steroids and nebulizer treatments. today, Sept 1, I went out to eat with my family. then we went to the spirit halloween that was next door, and had an asthma attack. so I'm still not okay, unfortunately. but I do miss roleplaying. I know I can sit here and type. but please have patience~
 
sorry, again. I guess I can't just sit here and type like I thought. it's been pretty miserable being unable to breathe, wheezing every second, and having none of your treatments work. on Wednesday, I tried to get an appointment with my pulmonologist, but they didn't have anything until December 3rd. figured, I've lasted this long, I can last another two months. work and family flipped, and the next day my manager was able to call for me and get me a much sooner appointment, this upcoming Thursday, the 2nd. the perks of working at a doctor's office and working for a major, big name doctor. birthday is also the 1st of the month. legit just been chilling and trying to survive.

it sucks because I really, really do want to roleplay. so bad. I just can barely focus. I really will try.
 
eyyy it's been a bit. figured I'd update. some fun shit.

SO I went to the pulmonologist on October 2nd. I was prescribed an inhaler, Breztri, and was told to stop taking everything else for a bit. I followed those orders, took the Breztri, and found out a rare side effect was blurry vision. sure enough, my vision went on me. everything was quite blurry. you know how when you blink and everything goes blurry? then you blink again, and it clears up? for me, it wasn't clearing up. I noticed the blurriness over the weekend, and on Monday, I was driving home from work, and realized I couldn't see very well. I called out of work for the next day, Tuesday, and got an appointment right away with SightMD for Tuesday. the eye doctor did an eye exam, dilated my eyes and all (it's own horrible experience), and gave me a prescription for my vision - the blurry vision. he told me that yes the medicine probably caused the blurry vision, and to keep taking it. (days later, my mother eventually got in touch with my pulmonologist for me (I couldn't at work) and they told me to immediately stop the medication.)
right after SightMD, I went to my old eye place to give them the script and get new frames to place the lenses. I realized the prescription accounted for the blurry vision, and sure enough when I got my new glasses, I couldn't see out of them.
in work, where I sit, I can see the dim digital thermostat screen. with the blurry vision, it appeared blank. I knew my vision was eventually returning when I could finally see the display. I feel like my vision is still slightly weird, I was recently reading something the other night, and everything appeared blurry. I need to return to my old eye doc to get a proper eye test with my normal vision, whenever it fully comes back.
it's also super unfortunate because I think the Breztri was helping for the most part. I'm basically right back to where I was before. I was meant to return to the pulmonologist on November 6th, but my coworker needs the day for her own stuff, so I had to reschedule for the week after, November 13th.

update 2~ I broke my ankle back in 2001. from there, I had issues ever since. back in 2017, I had an MRI done that said I had osteoarthritis in my ankle, among many other issues. it's severe enough that the cartilage is gone, and it's bone on bone. I don't recall ever getting these results back then. I only found out when I went on the radiologist website and saw my results. I uploaded them to my chart at work so any foot doctor could see them.

recently, about 2 weeks ago, I saw the foot doctor at my work due to sudden ankle pain. I finally got the xray done last saturday, and today I saw him for the results. he basically sat down and told me I have arthritis in my ankle, and I would need surgery. it's not worth it to replace the joint, as in 10 years I will have to do it all over again, but if the pain gets bad enough, it's something to consider. otherwise, he suggested I can do a different surgery where they go in and clean the joint out (I suppose to remove the arthritis), and to inject stem cells into the space. this particular foot doctor doesn't do it, he doesn't have the certification. he suggested another one of our foot docs, and he's in on Tuesday. there's another that comes in on Monday, so I'll talk to both of them when I see them next week. lots to consider. I want to do it before the end of the year as I have vacation time. he explained the recovery time is about 3 weeks or so, and I cannot walk on it. right now, it hurts. and it's horrifying to think that with each step and movement of my ankle, it's bone on bone rubbing together.

tired XD I'm definitely trying to come back. my luck is horrific. I will do what I can! that is all I can promise ;w; certain things will catch my interest quicker and keep it, it all really depends. I haven't abandoned anyone or anything. it truly is one thing after another. I always have everyone on my mind.
in happier news, I finally got full time at the location that's closer to home and that I love (I was in one location on Mondays and Wednesdays, and the location further from home Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays). I love the people, my coworkers, my manager, and the doctors. I'm just so much happier. so it sucks when all of this shit happens. but they're all very understanding. I have the next 4 days off, and I want to spend them peacefully before work gets hectic next week and after with many more providers joining us. if you want to bug me, my PMs are open~
