Back from the doc’s office. Got my blood and urine taken. So I’ll get results from that next week. I also got the heart diagram done and… it was fine. All good. So that’s.. all good. I guess. I’m not sure if that means that there is nothing wrong for sure with my heart. But at least so far I’m apparently in perfect health.
I’m starting to wonder if this is all just in my head, haha. Well, no there has definitely been something. But I do feel like I’m getting better. I went and did shopping after the trip and when I came home I was still breathing hard, but I wasn’t completely wiped out. It’s weird, I’m srarting to forget what my state of normalcy is/was. Was I breathing abnormally hard now or was it just normally hard breathing because I’m not in the greatest shape? I’m starting to doubt myself.
I don’t know. We’ll see what the tests results are and I still gotta get that lung xray. But I’m starting to think maybe we won’t come up with anything and all and I’ll just have to .. be ok. Maybe get back on the exercise bike and get in better shape and maybe that’ll be good enough..
I don’t know I don’t know.
One thing I have been wondering if I actually had the corona. I think it’s theoretically possible, if very rare, to have it without having a fever. Maybe.. I got it and because I was vaccinated it was very mild and what I’ve been experiencing the last month’s time or so, maybe those are the late stage / delayed symptoms that you hear about. I mean.. it’s possible?
I had a couple of days where I was kind of snotty. I had one night with a sore throat. I had that one night where I felt like something was wrong with my lungs.
Even if it sounds mad, it’s the only thing I can think of that makes any kind of little sense. Assuming there’s nothing wrong iwht my heart. Other than that the only thing I can think of is that moldy cheese, maybe this was all a fungal infection.
I don’t know I don’t know I don’t know. I’m just thinking out loud.
For now I guess we just have to wait for the test results and see if anything comes up. I wouldn’t be surprised if we never find any answers and I just slowly get back to normal. That’s kind of how it feels like it’s going to go right now.
We’ll see.
Sorry for the ramblings.

Once again, thank you everyone for caring about me and my health. Thank you for the comments, advice and support. As I have mentioned before, I have known real isolation and loneliness in my past, so it really means a lot to have good people who care about me and want to associate with me. I am very appreciative of that, even if I’m not great at showing it or reciprocating or being social or whatever. It helps me to keep going when I just want to give up. Because there are people who care about me, so maybe so should I.
Thank you!
in other news, lung xray scheduled for next week. Along with test results for blood and urine. So we’ll see then.

Sassy is almost always the first one who sits down. She’s got that grandma thing going on. “I’m old, life is hard, you bring the treats TO ME”.
Usually I’ll be out in the field, I mean the pen, playing with the kids. And then I’ll look into the shelter or the goat house and there she’ll be sitting with a “nah I’m done for the day” look on her face.

Good goat times today. Got out and spent some time at the goat place. It was a cold morning, and not long after I got there it started raining. So most of the time was spenti n the goat house. But that’s a good place to be when the company is great. And it is. Got some lapgoat time with Sky. And then later she had some ‘jump over lap’ time. She was standing next to me when Sassy appeared. And you know what happens when Sassy appears. Sky disappears. She went in a full-on gazelle leap over my lap, to get to safe distance. I wish I’d been filming, it was really rather impressive. The little darling.

In less good news… remember how I was saying that I felt like I was getting better and this whole health thing would probably just end up with no answers and me just getting over it? Well.. now I’m not so sure. Because I started feeling worse last night. Breathing harder. Not super bad, but just.. not great. And this morning I managed to force myself to get out and goat, but I kinda wanted to cancel because I was breathing harder and feeling weak. I managed ok, but definitely getting more tired and out of breath. And when I got home I was pretty wiped out. Maybe not as bad as when it was worst. But not good. Worse than when I felt it was getting better. And i’m still feeling pretty tired and worn now. So yeah, i’m not sure it’s just going to go away on its own after all.
I was talking to my dad on the phone the other day and he brought up how when my brother had the kidney problems… he had some of the same symptoms. I told you about that day I was going to go to my parents but I had to give up and take the bus home because I couldn’t handle the walk? My dad brought up how he’d been out walking with Peter and they’d had to go home because he was too weak or tired. So yeah. I guess kidney is another possible answer to what’s going on. I sure hope not though, I really don’t want to go through what my brother did with dialysis and transplant.
But part of the blood/urine test I just had taken are the kidney numbers, so I guess they will show if there’s a problem in that area. I feel like my problem is more around the heart or lungs. During my doc visit she felt up my legs (didn’t even buy me dinner etc) and I guess that was checking for them being swollen which I think is a sign of the kidney thing.
Anywy we’ll see. What the test results and xrays say.
I’m just really tired. Tired of being unwell. Tired of being tired. Of being blind and phobic. Tired of the world getting worse and worse, tired of the cesspool of news of everything everywhere going rotten. Tired o life.
This is when I appreciate having people like your good selves. Gotta keep fighting for friends, family and goats. Because right now I feel like I can’t really do it for myself.

Well, I am feeling better today. Better than the last couple of days anyway, so that’s good.
I felt good enough to get on my exercise bike for a little. As I had planned. Just a little test. I went for 10-15 minutes, most of it at lowest setting. And it went fine. I just wanted to see if the bike still worked and if I remembered how to do it all and if it felt ok, felt like something I can do again. And it does. That short time was enough to get me winded, but I felt ok. So I will probably try to slowly get back into the habit of doing it. If nothing else it’s a good way to get to spend some time listening to my audiobooks.
I have been improving my eating habits. Managed to cut out the candy and sugared sodas thatI foolishly had gotten into the habit of consuming. But it’s gone ok cutting it back out, eating more vegetables and stuff. I mean I’m not saint, but right now I’m living healthier than I have in a long time. Whether that will make any differences to my current problems, I have no idea. I mean if my heart or kidnets are busted, vegetables won’t fix ’em. But we’ll see how it goes next week with the test results and xrays.

Idreamt about John Goodman. I don’t remember what the dream was, though.
But I also dreamt about birds. I dreamt there was bird with an umbrella stuck in its mouth. I got a hold of the umbrella and tried to pull it out, but I couldn’t manage it. then my dad showed up and helped. I managed to manouvre the bird over to him and he got a hold of it and pulled it back while I pulled the umbrella and we got the umbrella out of its mouth and it flew happily away. And there were other birds in weird colours and I was taking pictures of them.
Also, I’m in the middle of my Seinfeld rewatch and we’re up to the Jerry Stiller years and it’s just the absolute best. What a wonder he was. The other day I watched an episode of Michael Rosenbaum (Lex Luthor from Smallville aslo from IMpastor)’s podcast Inside Of You and he had Jason Alexander on as a guest. And it was pretty great. Especially when he talked about Jerry Stiller. If you like Michael Rosenbaum or Jason Alexander, definitely go look up that podcast on the youtube.
Also I just watched the episode of Seinfeld where Elaine is dating a guy who has the same name as a serial killer. And she suggests various names he could change his name to. And one of them is OJ, like OJ Simpsons. Haha. Yeah that would have worked out well.
Anyway, that’s all for now. I hope this letterpigion finds you well

Well I got good news and I got bad news. The bad news is I couldn’t get an appointment at my doctor before Friday. The good news is I got an appointment with my new doctor, so not the last guy. So now I just have to try to survive till then.
If things get worse there are emergency numbers you can call so I’m sure it’ll be fine.

Good goat times today. Got out and goated, happily so. There were visitors at the fence when I arrived, so that was fun. Kids enjoying their goat time as well. We had a mini-Keiko today! I didn’t see it myself, but suddenly hear done of their grownups say “No don’t touch it there, don’t touch the goat in the butt”. Haha. The berry zone is for unloading only.
Other than that just lots of cuddles and snacks and some headbutting, the goats not me, and some rain too.

As always, Mia did a fantastic job entertaining the visitors. I’m not sure if the little one on the right is our mini-Keiko, but judging from the positioning it is certainly possible!

What’s for dinner tonight?
Vegetables.
Yes, did you know you can boil vegetables and eat them?! Revolutionary!
Trying to get a little healthier living, you know because I’m obviously not doing so great. So trying some healthier meals. In between the pizza and fries. I actually quite like just vegetables. I know for most people it would not be a real meal. But just a plate of boiled potatoes, carrots, peas and a little sweet corn I think it’s called. That’s good. I mean sure it doesn’t have cheese and greese and salt. But I don’t know. Boiled potatoes are yummy. Anyway I’m trying. Even considering getting back on the exercise bike. Maybe I just need to get in better shape. Maybe that’s all that’s wrong. Yeah yeah yeah.

Fascinating stuff if you’re a Twin Peaks fan. Especially the Frank Silva stuff. I know i’ve written about it many times, how Killer BoB is the one thing that truly scares me, that I still have nightmares about occasionally. It’s fascinating to see Frank Silva as himself. So funny and charming, and by all accounts the sweetest person ever. You’d never think that he’d play a character who’d traumatise me for life, hah. It’s so sad that he passed away so young. In this thing he even talks about wanting a third part to the Twin Peaks story. So sad that he couldn’t be part of The Return.
Just a fascinating story about how he became part of the show and all that. Life’s weird sometimes. Like a David Lynch movie.

Oh by the way, who’s got two thumbs and practically knocked himself out yesteday?
This guy. I managed to bang my head against a cupboard door, the edge of it too. It was a floor level cupboard. It’s still called a cupboard when it’s below the kitchen counter, right? Or ? I don’t know, I just live here. Anyway, i’d left it open. And then I dropped something on the floor. And being blind I did the smart thing and quickly bent down to pick it up and smashed my head into the edge of the cupbard door. Ouch. For a second I thought I was bleeding from my head. But it didn’t break the skin after all. probably didn’t break my skull either. Maybe I should add skull xray to the chest and lung xrays. Anyway. So if I start acting salmon ballon erratic then it may porsche be the achtung baby behind the music, do you smell purple? You should probably put on some deodorant then.

Good doctor times today. Had my appointment this morning. With the doctor who is my new regular doctor after the last one left. And I’m glad to say that she is super sweet and friendly and nice and seems attentive. I brought blood pressure measurements that I’ve been taking from home because my bp is usually a higher when I get it taken at the doc’s office (because of my anxiety I assume) and she was all ‘oh that’s great, that’s a good idea’ and stuff. Just really nice. Oh and the blood pressure was good. I was a little worried it was too low before bedtime. It starts out close to the high end when I get up and then before bed the highest number get quite a bit lower. But the doc said they were great, apparently when you’re diabetic having the numbers on the low side aren’t a bad thing.
And well what did we come up with? Well I got a new appointment next week to have bloodworks done. Like, all the blood. Not just the tests I get regularly for the diabeetus, but all the tests. And a heart diagram. Is that the ekg thing? Well, it’s a heart thing anyway, so that’s good. And then I have to get an appointment at a specielist to get xrays of my lungs. So stuff is happening now. That’s good. She said that I could call in if I started feeling worse, but otherwise I’ll come in when we got the results of the bloodwork. “it’s been going for too long now so we gotta find out what’s up” she said. I like her so so much better than the last guy.
And I got a flu shot too, so that’s good. And now we’ll just have to see what we come up with. At least stuff is happening now.
I generally feel a little better. Especially when I’m not doing anything. But I still get out of breath when doing stuff. And wiped out from goat trips and shopping trips. Here’s to hoping we can figure it out.

Did you know that I had a letter featured in the September 1993 issue of The One? It’s true, I did! The One was my favourite Amiga magazine. It was British, but I could buy it in m local kiosk anyway. And I got it every month. It was quite the thrill seeing my name in their pages. I was 15 at the time. I even brought the magazine to school to school and just casually mentioned ‘oh hey guys, lookit this’. Haha.
My letter was only actually three factual questions, so it’s not very interesting. But if you want to see it, you cna go to this page and do a search for my name in the text:
https://archive.org/stream/TheOneIssue60Sep93/The_One_Issue_60_Sep_93_djvu.txt
It’s funny to look at now. The questions about the Ultimas. Hah! No, thos games did not come out for the Amiga and there was no way they could ever have done so. Ultima 7 and Ultima Underworld 2 would later go on to be two of my absolute favourite games of all time. On the PC.
But the answer from The One that you never know if they could come out for the Amiga was totes faulty, wishful thinking.
The third question was about Goal! and that game is in fact now and still and forever my favourite computer game of all time. I spent countless hours, days, even years playing that game. After I handed my Amiga to my brother, when I got my PC, I still played Goal! on the Amiga in his room. I think I even snuck in and played the game while he was sleeping in his bed next to the computer, but don’t tell anyone about that.
Anyway, funny that in the letter I mention Goal and Ultima, if you added Monkey Island 2 you’d have my list of alltime top 3 favourite computer games.
So this was all terribly interesting, to me.
Those were the days, though. I miss The One. Seems like I remember that magazine almost as fondly as I remember the computer and the games. Reading the monthly magazine was a big part of having a computer. Before my Amiga we had a Commodore 64 and I read Zzap!64. And when I got my PC I started reading PC Format. That’s the history of my computer life. Commdore 64 > Amiga > PC. Zzap!64 > The One > PC Format.
By the way, kids, magazines are like a blog but printed on paper. And you’d get a cassette or disk or cd with the magazine with games or demos or stuff on it. Cassettes, discs and cds are like a youtube video but on a piece of plastic. Now, let me tell you about VHS tapes.
