Continuing the saga: we went to the nephrologist (a second time; if you’ll recall, he wasn’t there the first time). I was expecting him to say I need to undergo some tests, or alternatively, that I’m fine and not to worry.
What I didn’t expect was for him to say, “I’m sorry, but I can’t help you; I’m not a nephrologist”!
I messaged my GP, but because of the (then) upcoming Yom Kippur holiday, she hasn’t answered me yet. So on Y”K, I did what she had prescribed for me, and hopefully there’s not much more to the story. I spent two hours on the morning before Y”K, getting an infusion (for extra hydration). I don’t honestly think it made any difference, but I try to obey my doctor’s orders. I do feel fine at present, though it was very strange to not fast on Y”K.
Because next week starts the Sukkoth holiday, I had to do some cleanup work this week preparing the back patio. Fortunately, that wasn’t a lot of work, though the neighbor’s tree is very messy and I’ll have to keep sweeping up through the holiday!
Various and sundry:
- My friend: May it Be Your Will.
- Jeremy’s launched a series of genealogy videos which are aimed at informing people how to take advantage of “Y-DNA” tests.
- Uri: Palestine, the first “trans” state, four converts you need to hear about, and the mandate is back, baby!
- I’ve been warning y’all for years, that Microsoft is evil.
- Despite their former motto of “Don’t be Evil”, Google is giving MS a run for their money. I guess that’s why it’s their “former” motto.
- Language nerds: what are the lost letters of the English alphabet?
- Math nerds: how has mathematics gotten so abstract?
Before the doctor nonsense, I completed work on the “component tester”, reworking the (bad) software the original designer had written. It works quite well, all things considered, and I managed to test a bunch of the components I’d salvaged (some time back). A worthwhile project, all in all.
The temperatures over Y”K were very pleasant; unfortunately, we’re headed for a short heat-wave over shabbat. So it’ll be warmer than we’d like.
This shabbat we’re working on consuming:
homemade ḥalla,
chicken soup,
schnitzel,
various salatim,
and honey cake.
Until next time,
shabbat shalom (and ḥag sameaḥ)!
