Cómo Vamos? means in Spanish "How are we doing?" I have much to write about in my blog, and so I will be doing so quite soon. So expect for a new article... however and even though I dont want to convert my blog in a monologue about kidney health, I felt myself obliged to put at least some monthly news concerning not only the kidneys, but myself as a whole, since in the end everything is holistic.
So, Cómo vamos este mes? How are we doing this month?
Well, today July 10th I can say that I feel pretty well as its almost usual. Hemoglobin keeps going higher by herself, first it went from 10,8 in May to 13,7 last month, finally this month it is in 14,2! This is wonderful news considering it went higher by herself, didnt need any synthetic erythropoetin. Just 400 ml of iron on May, and 200 ml last month. I'm supposed to go tomorrow for 200 ml of iron again, but I wont do it as I don't consider it necessary, moreover my hemoglobin levels are in the normal range right now. This has revived a hope in me, that my own kidneys can possibily heal, therefore I have decided to not think about the transplant for now.
It might sound funny to people, but to have the hemoglobin in normal ranges again feels like having bought a ferrari! I'm trying to use my newly found energy as much as possible. Have accepted invitations by some friends to play football in their university, as over here in the north of the city not even one soul seems to kick a ball in the park. Actually, parks are only good over here for going jogging... its very funny to think that the construction builders at the end of the day use and enjoy the parks more, than the own inhabitants of the area. I wonder, what's happeniing with the people of this zone? I guess they're too busy with their smartphones and parties, who knows.
At first I had thought there would be a risk about playing football, considering I have that small cathether. But I have discovered that my risk was unfounded, since as long as I don't enter into body challenges, and keep my good luck, everything will be all right.
What else is new? Well not so much.. Waiting to start new studies, and waiting for a possible business idea to come true. Besides all of this, life is still pretty much what it has been recently; to enjoy the company of Niko and Lazuli at home, the nice conversations I can have with my mum, and the occasional but very nice times when my grand mother is in a decent mood.
Last but not least, I have become a believer in Garlic! All hail King Garlic! Have discovered so many properties to this wonderful fruit of nature, that I'm taking as much as possible of it. Whether if it is through taking the raw cloves, soup made of it, or a nice fish made with some garlic. Have been taking so many cloves of it, that by now I think I can scare off any vampire that tries to come close to me, specially the vampire that chased me in Prague! I will dedicate a whole article to my newly found love later on :)
What am I reading? "The Ringing Cedars" by Vladimir Megre. I'm just in the first book, but it has captivated me already. I'm reading it along my mother, as she too enjoys mystical subjects (actually she does more than me). "The Ringing Cedars" is a collection of books supposedly of the encounter of a moscovite entrepreneur with a siberian woman/shaman . The latter reveals to the former the lost connection between Man, Nature, and God.
I first heard of it thanks to a lithuanian friend, a couple of years ago already. But just until now I have kept the discipline and found the interest to keep reading it every single evening.
This is the "data" that I can provide about July then:
Mood: Happy
Dreams: About my grand pa, some weird plants, big companies
Animal of the month: Cat
Fruit of Nature: Garlic
Novel: "The Ringing Cedars" by Vladimir Megre
Weather: Windy, sometimes with sun others with rain. About 15 degrees
Music: "Wish you Were here" album by the one and only Pink Floyd
Target of the month: Go to bed earlier! My goal is to go at 11:00 pm (23:00 hours) lets see if I achieve it.
That's it for now.
