My recent hospital visits here in San Francisco gave me still more official bad diagnoses about my condition.
I was told that I have a heart murmur. th
hat is one I was"t told before :( .
I was aldo told my " kidneys are seventy damaged and near end-stage. You may soon have to go on dialysis. " I had been told of the l I kelihood of being on dialysis before. but not near end-stage :(. They also said .my anemia is getting worse. if I do not get treated I may require a blood transfusion for it :( .
This is on top of the established CHF. COPD. etc.
Frankly, what I am thinking is that I WI return to Sant Cruz-Hollister. if I'm going to be tied to a doctor I might as well be where my books. etc. are in storage ' maybe I could get a plan a and have those books. etc. near me - rather than being stuck in this shelter in San Francisco. at least the books are there

However. there's little-to no homers stuff in Santa Cruz this time of year. But, maybe I'd get something - and could get the books etc. near me. and finally get those things I inherited from Bruh sent to me :( . If. that's if, I don't have much time left. at least - I hope ' I could make use of the books. etc. in my last.months.
Also, I'm suffering and of pain/discomfort when I walk. much of the time :cry: . And when sitting. too :( .

Heart murmurs can be harmless sometimes.

There are people who live on dialysis for years. I’m not saying it’s a great thing. It sucks.

I wonder if “end stage status” might make it easier to get housing. You could read your books in your home between dialysis sessions.....or even during dialysis sessions if that happens.

...Yeah, maybe :| . You think the kidney status could help me? There's little homeless stuff this time of year in Crux. I meant.

Hopefully the Doctors can give you Documentation on all of your Medical Diagnoses, so that it may help move you up the "housing list" if you show it to the appropiate people.

It must be absolutely exhausting carting around an oxygen tank (for your COPD) while you are homeless. I hope you find somewhere more permanant soon.

...I should say that I am not on oxygen. I don't have an oxygen tent (I've received oxygen treatment while in the hospital.). However. my back tends to hurt - even NOW! :x. - in so many ways :cry: .

Please keep your inhalers with you at all times. I have to carry them everywhere to.

Have you got yourself into treatment for all of the conditions you've stated? I hope you follow up on your health, and then hopefully get into half decent housing.

Do you know what is the cause of your pain? Do you have arthritis? Is it your weight? Are your joints, such as knees and ankles stiff because of swelling from fluid retention? You’ve said before that you take a lot of pills, are any of them to help with pain? I have arthritis and I take pills for that and other pain causing problems. Crazy as it sounds, moving (in a safe and proper manner) is the best thing you can do to reduce pain.

...I'm at Subway and I've overly treated myself to a bunch food and I'm listening to Nat " King " Cole singing forieign-language versions of his hits and I'm going to go to that lawyer place. which is near. afterward for needed follow-up (I do do things for myself but I speak of them little enough here that maybe people don't quite see that I do them)

You are usually saying how unable you are to do things by yourself.

...The above was meant to be part of a post
I put it up do I could do something else on the phone and not lose if, I was going too add to it. However. since comment was made....And I plan to go to the RR after that, calling 911
Perhaps I will get going to the library to trnre my lost card and to thst little bit of grassy park at City Hall to get dome dun (sigh) before I call. too.
My lower back/spine/whatever has just hurt:(
. and he.pered me SO much :cry: that I think I'm justified. I prepared the ground last night. Actually, I'm not as bad when going out walking, the during the day - but It'd be worse once I'm back in the shrlter - say. when getting up and bathroom/dressing/etc. :cry: in the morning - perhaps my kidneys are one factor :( .

It's great that you're consulting a Lawyer for assistance with the 'windfall' and finding appropriate secure accommodation, where you won't have to keep buying new mobile phones.
