so ...
Update on medical things:
1) Elevated lithium level, per Dr Burke, is most likely cause blood was taken right after I took it. New draw this morning to confirm ... likely normal result coming tomorrow.
2) Saw Kettie yesterday and wanted to do a stress test, but she and the tech decided a good test would be more likely in a week's time. Threw out a theory this could be structural (I mean, Ive lost 40 pounds since I got sober; its possible this has screwed my alignment, right?) .. going to push for thoughts after the stress test is (maybe) normal.
3) Sleep study still pending. Surgical consult with plastics on possible surgery still pending.
4) Saw Dr Burke this morning. All I can say is hes pretty insightful, and Im extremely fortunate. He awaits results and I see him in a month.
In the meantime, trying to hang in there. I was asked where I am on my program by my sponsor this afternoon. "Um, huh?" Its a shifting mass ... something's happening; its just hard to articulate.
So physically lousy ... spiritually strangely ... mentally good moodly ... Ill take it and give thanks.
