Wrapping up 2025

This has been one hell of a year. Yes, I have had worse, but I have definitely had better. I will make bullet points so you can scim over the content easier.

TLDR;

- Health is getting better.
- I might be able to return to work in a few years.

My Health

I’ve been on steroids for a long time now, and with that there are some side affects that creep up. One of which is Blood sugar issues. This is something I have been fighting and losing the battle to, but I have started with a new medical team with promising results. I won’t be giving out the specific details, but it’s starting to look up.

As for my legs and the edema, this has improved as well with the use of several devices to manage the lymphatic fluid build up. I started with just compression socks, and now I’m using a machine that does a draining massage. The cause of this is still not pointing at any one thing as an ‘ah ha’ moment, but it could just be the summation of all the factors. These are the top factors that I have: stomach surgeries, diabetes, and COVID.

Work

According to the doctors, I might be able to go back to work in a number of years. It’s not really known at this time if that will happen or not. Either way I’m good with, afterall I’m just glad to be alive still.

I’m continuing to hone my skills on a number of fronts, and hopefully, if and when I go back, I will have a path to get me back in the game.
