I saw the nephrologist today and she explained the lab test results are fine. I don’t know how many times she has to tell me that this is a long, slow process before I get it into my head. She said I won’t see consistent improvement, but she’s waiting for one specific test result (tomorrow) that will tell her if she needs to increase my dosage.
So, other than the fact that I wanted to take a quick photo of a boat going by and walked into the glass door to the terrace thinking it was open and split my nose and caused it to swell… Other than that, all is well. Oh, and I need to trim my beard.
Hoy vi a la nefróloga y me explicó que los resultados de las pruebas de laboratorio están bien. No sé cuántas veces tiene que decirme que este es un proceso largo y lento antes de que se me ocurra. Dijo que no veré una mejora constante, pero que está esperando el resultado de una prueba específica (mañana) que le indicará si necesita aumentar mi dosis.
Entonces, aparte del hecho de que quería tomar una foto rápida de un barco que pasaba y entré por la puerta de vidrio de la terraza pensando que estaba abierta y me partió la nariz y provocó que se hinchara… Aparte de eso, todo está bien. Bueno. Ah, y necesito recortarme la barba.
Scoot, I think that SG should invest in a leash and helmet for you. All things considered, looking good, boo.
Deedles:
I need those sensors like they now have on cars.
I can see it now. You’ll look around to see where the beep is coming from, and then crash into something else.
Deedles:
Argh! You’re so right. Come to think of it, the car was beeping one day. I listened to it and was annoyed by the nagging sound. I drove right into the wall.
I agree with Deedles – a cycling helmet at all times! Jx
Jon:
Wouldn’t it be great though if I had sensors that beeped when I got too close to something?
I walked into the screen door to the deck the other day…so many things make me mad at myself! Hope the next lab test is good news.
Frank:
Yeah, I’ve walked into screen doors many times. I’ve never done it here, however. (Because we don’t have a screen door.)
Oh, my goodness! Well, glad the results are nothing to worry about but holy cow… You need dirtier glass in your house!
Judy C:
Isabel was incredulous yesterday when she saw my nose. I told her it was her felt for keeping the glass so clean.
Anonymous is Frank…why does this happen? I’m so tech impaired.
Frank D:
I go through phases with the log in. Lately, I’ve had no problem. Sometimes, clearing browser cache makes a difference.
I still can’t figure out why you’re having the bumps on your head read for that; you should go to a medical doctor…
Wickedhamster:
I am so sick of going to medical doctors. I’ll just continue to rack up sympathy.
Grrr! Silly website, the above anynymous was me, failing to notice I hadn’t logged in.
Oh, even with a bumped nose you are a good lookin’ man.
All right. Shall we go over our lesson again? Repeat after me. “I will not look at lab results online.”
In this we are so different. I’d pay good money to never see lab results or hear about them either. Yes. I am crazy.

Ms. Moonsigh:
You’re so good for my ego. And, I WILL NOT LOOK AT LAB RESULTS ONLINE.
Awwww, your poor puffy nose! You know, at the end of every calendar year, you should review all the photographs of your various little injuries and select the Top Three for special awards.
Debra:
That’s actually a fun idea!
I am so glad the results are good! And to add…watch your step!
Michael:
I like to do these little bits of damage to myself. Some flaws in my perfection make me more interesting to look at.
I have always said that there is beauty in imperfection! I would always tell my students that when they were beating themselves up that their work wasn’t good enough.
Michael:
Exactly. That’s why I choose to have these little accidents.
OUCHY! That must have hurt! Damn glass doors!
Good to hear doctor’s report. Stay busy and the time will speed by……
Jim:
Yeah, it DID hurt!
Once again, I suggest you wrap yourself in bubble wrap.
And listen to the doctor!
Bob:
I would have too much fun in bubble wrap, running into walls (and doors) to hear the pops.
Have you ever considered putting removable gel clings on your glass doors at eye level? Works like a charm on windows to prevent bird strikes…
Sounds like you have a very skilled and patient doctor. Try not to focus on one or two data points in time — as long as the data is trending in the right direction over time, you’re good!
Tundra Bunny:
Those gel clings, like refrigerator magnets, make me crazy. Also, I’d have to be looking up or at least straight ahead to notice them. I am often looking down at my camera when I do this which is how I split open the bridge of my nose. The doctor is brilliant, warm, and charming. And that’s exactly what she told me. And it’s along, slow process.
I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to laugh but your accident-prone self now running into a glass door had me laughing tears in my eyes. Only you. What next.
Shirley:
No worries, after I cried (not really) I laughed, too. Never ask what next!
Boud here, admiring your reshaped hooter. Britspeak for nose. Or neb. More britspeak.
You’re pretty accident prone. Maybe you need some sort of sensor warning you about steps and doors and well, everything. Listen to your doctor!! She’s the one with the MD. At least I expect so.
Boud:
My poor hooter has been reshaped so many times. I do love the idea of sensors like on cars. But, wow, do your doctors have actually MDs?!?
Best reason for not washing windows
Jssw:
I immediately thought of you when I did it… again. You’ve told me that before and I just don’t listen.
I’m so glad you’re ok! I held my breath when I saw the title of this post, and let out a sigh of relief after I read it. xx

Jennifer:
Ooh, sorry for the scare. I just thought I was being funny.
I don’t see you wearing a shirt, are you naked??
Mistress Borghese:
Yes I was.
I walk into the sliding glass doors to the deck at least once a year, usually not long after having washed them. At full speed, as if nothing were there. I’m surprised I haven’t broken them.
Walt the Fourth:
I do, too, as you know. I had no idea you were like that. I feel so much better about myself now. I’m surprised I haven’t broken my nose.
A great sign, you are up and walking around under your own power. Walking into things is a sign that you are moving about. See, there is a sunny side to everything – almost.
David:
And clearly I’m moving quickly. You’re right about that sunny side!
That’s what happens when you keep your windows too clean. 🙂
Seriously, I’m glad your nose injury was (looks, anyway) relatively minor. And confirmation of the lab results is good news, right?
Steve:
My immediate thought. I told Isabel it was her fault. The doctor visit was again reassuring. The news will get better over time (I hope).
I’m glad it wasn’t serious
My wife had a double Mastectomy on Monday. The dread of that was poisoning our spirits for about a year, and the choice was difficult because it technically a preventive one due to her high risk factors.
Now she has to recover
But rebuild won’t happen until early next year
Adam:
So sorry for what you and your wife have had to go through. I hope she recovers quickly physically and emotionally. I admire her for taking control. I’ve known a lot of women who did the same, proudly. A much more secure way to live her life.
Do you really work at being clumsy or is it a natural talent? 🤔
wmary3523:
It’s really just a gift I was born with. Admittedly, I have been honing my skills for years.
You look skeptical, doctor’s good news notwithstanding.
Kirk:
That expression had nothing to do with the doctor. When I told her what I did she just smiled and shook her head.
So glad the test results are actually good. So sorry you were stressed about them! Olivia
Olivia:
I won’t be reading/evaluating on my own anymore.
all docs is quacks
Urspo:
You’re the authority.
