This Tuesday passed without incident! Yay, maybe I'd passed the damn stone? No. Last night all hell broke loose again. This time I managed to manage it at home. 🧵 1 [contains quote post or other embedded content]20 Aug 2026 03:06 +0000at://did:plc:25lo5pntizzn6oobi2aecmac/app.bsky.feed.post/3mtibagzgj22uhttps://bsky.app/profile/limberation.com/post/3mtd6kyy54s2e3km!! A couple of pics from my walk. I love the bushland. While not the same as NZ, it lets me escape from the city for a while. #ChronicIllness #InvisibleIllness [contains quote post or other embedded content]18 Aug 2026 02:34 +0000at://did:plc:25lo5pntizzn6oobi2aecmac/app.bsky.feed.post/3mtd6kyy54s2ehttps://bsky.app/profile/limberation.com/post/3mtczux3ji223#ChronicIllness I've showered, washed my hair, dressed, been to the supermarhet & pharmacy, shouted myself a coffe and an apple twist (very nice it was too) and now about to do first walk of the day. I like my new sinuses!! 😂18 Aug 2026 01:11 +0000at://did:plc:25lo5pntizzn6oobi2aecmac/app.bsky.feed.post/3mtczux3ji223https://bsky.app/profile/limberation.com/post/3mt6mlvh7ks22I am SO HAPPY!

For YEARS I've been complaining to my GP about the physiological stress readings on my Garmin watch. Since I've had the sinus operation, I'm getting GREAT readings! There has to be a link! See the alt-texts! 🧵115 Aug 2026 23:02 +0000at://did:plc:25lo5pntizzn6oobi2aecmac/app.bsky.feed.post/3mt5rrwk7is26https://bsky.app/profile/limberation.com/post/3msz7lsty722rApparently I am quite late to be getting kidney stones. Usually, my GP tells me, kidney stones appear in one's 40s. I am taking this as a positive! I'm just still young for my age! 😁😁14 Aug 2026 03:26 +0000at://did:plc:25lo5pntizzn6oobi2aecmac/app.bsky.feed.post/3msz7lsty722rhttps://bsky.app/profile/limberation.com/post/3msw55x6xbc2zJust to clarify, the scheduled Monday xataract op was cancelled at tge last minute (well, 7am-ish) and then Tuesday I ended up back in hospital with the kidney stone. Soooo - in some respects it was fortuitous that the eye surgery was cancelled. Now to reschedule my hair appt! 😂12 Aug 2026 22:05 +0000at://did:plc:25lo5pntizzn6oobi2aecmac/app.bsky.feed.post/3msw55x6xbc2zhttps://bsky.app/profile/limberation.com/post/3msuvlaqmu22mI am home. I never actually got the CT results. I wanred to know if movement had in fact happened during the week. There is no guarantee I will not have another episode BUT we are reasonably sure the stone has navigated the difficult junction today, so I should be OK. I need sleep! Zonked!

Looks like I will get to go home. HOPEFULLY it seems like the kidney stone has passed the difficult junction it has to navigate. After the last extreme pain episode I feel like a new person. Had IV fluids to help. Plus special meds for this situation. NEVER WANT ANOTHER!

Had to cancel my hair appt. [contains quote post or other embedded content]11 Aug 2026 23:44 +0000at://did:plc:25lo5pntizzn6oobi2aecmac/app.bsky.feed.post/3mstsacqx2c2m
