Things Are Slowly Getting Better, Still Problems To Resolve
6 years ago
So, to start with the mostly good news since my last journal:
My partner, after having congestive heart failure, has made a remarkable recovery and was home by the weekend. He says he feels better than before the incident, which is a good thing, I believe. This past Tuesday he had an angioplasty and according to his heart doctor his arteries "are all good" at the moment. He still needs to get some therapy done, lose a fair amount of weight and get more exercise, but things are far better than they were two weeks ago, at least!
Now, the not-so-good news:
Last Tuesday I myself ended up in the ER with a very high blood pressure, left shoulder/arm pain and some mild breathing issues. I initially went to urgent care when my BP wasn't coming down, but after describing the symptoms, they decided to send me to the ER, where they did an EKG, chest x-ray and blood tests. The results... I wasn't having a heart attack, as was feared. So that's good, but the fact that I ended up in the ER in the first place was bad. :-/
And my job really doesn't seem to be getting any better for me. I have a few conversations with a few places coming up, along with an interview... I'm hoping in the next month or two I can find something that will make me happy again, but I guess we'll have to wait and see. One of these days, I look forward to leaving IT and doing what I really want to do in life, but that's still some years away, so first let's find a job I can enjoy.
Anyhow, I'm still alive, my partner's still alive, and that's what counts! I thank you all for the support you've given me so far, words can't describe how much it's meant to me!
Hugs to all,
Ken (Vaurien)

But... going to ER yourself... ooh, that's indeed always frightning, good to hear that all ended up well this time.
Keep being awesome Vau! (PS. Lycan from the discord server here, dunno how familiar my FA username is *giggles gives a happy oink*)
