health, positive...? sort of? 

Given that I'm suffering from kidney failure, I absolutely did not expect a doctor to ever tell me "your sodium level is too low, you should eat more salty things"

Judging from said doctor's puzzled look, they did not expect it either

health, positive...? sort of? 

I genuinely have no idea how this could happen, I guess the salt restrictions assume neurotypical folks who cheat on the restrictions or something, and they're not designed to be actually followed to the letter??

hospital, blood test, bureaucracy, positive 

I am once again impressed by the local hospital folks' problem-solving and administrative skills. They usually send me the lab form for blood tests by mail so that I can test at the local branch instead of the main location (which requires a train ride). But they forgot this time, and I *had* to get it done on Monday.

So I sent them an e-mail over the weekend while the department was already closed, asking if they could send me the lab form anyway, hoping that they'd figure out a fast-enough way, and pondering whether to opportunistically make a test appointment for Monday already even though I might not have a form to go with it.

I ended up doing that, but I needn't have worried; first thing this morning I got my lab form by e-mail, with the note "we've marked it urgent so that this time you can go do it without an appointment". Awesome. They'd apparently already foreseen this conundrum even though I didn't mention it to them.

@joepie91 congrats on the impending delicious food and snacks :BlobCat_Wink:

re: health, positive...? sort of? 

@rune Well to a point, I should still not overdo it, I assume :p And my favourite snacks are still verboten due to potassium :(

re: health, positive...? sort of? 

@joepie91 of course but I bet you have a list of things you wouldn't mind eating a bit of again :BlobCat:

re: health, positive...? sort of? 

@rune Many of them are, unfortunately, potassium :p But not all!

re: health, positive...? sort of? 

@joepie91 I love food so much I'm getting excited on your behalf :BlobCat_Sorry:
