Another day, another hospital visit

@joepie91 I hope things are mostly under control

@rune "Nothing that'll kill me with any particular urgency", ie. the new definition of "good" that one adopts after going through a transplantation process
(In all seriousness, got a referral to get something odd checked out, but it's probably fine)

@joepie91 ooof, medical professionals way of saying shit sometimes
My grandfather had an issue with oxygen uptake for a few years before he died and it really wore on him that the default was always negatively loaded around not getting worse or only getting a little worse. He wanted to get better, but it didn't seem possible, which I think killed his optimism.
I hope the results come back with good news.

@rune Ah, in my case this is more my own definition 😅
I have so many physical and mental ailments that "there is something wrong" is pretty much the default state for me (and will be for some time) but also it's something I've learned to live with to some degree, so it doesn't keep me from living my life.
I'm still working towards solving what's solvable, of course, but that's more from the perspective of "constantly improving things" than it is some sort of quest for being "healthy", because realistically with ADHD + an organ transplant that's just not achievable.
Doctors have actually been relatively positive about things here; warning me where appropriate (eg. "don't *assume* you will return to your old condition after transplant because not everybody does"), but overall they've communicated a lot more in possibilities than in problems. Perhaps a bit too much for my tsate, even.
Anyway, their conclusion after my appointment is that it's almost certainly fine and they see no indication that deeper investigation is required 🙂
