&lt;p>This has been one hell of a year. Yes, I have had worse, but I have definitely had better. I will make bullet points so you can scim over the content easier.&lt;/p>
&lt;h2 id="tldr">TLDR;&lt;/h2>
&lt;pre>&lt;code>- Health is getting better.
- I might be able to return to work in a few years.
&lt;/code>&lt;/pre>
&lt;h2 id="my-health">My Health&lt;/h2>
&lt;p>I&amp;rsquo;ve been on steroids for a long time now, and with that there are some side affects that creep up. One of which is Blood sugar issues. This is something I have been fighting and losing the battle to, but I have started with a new medical team with promising results. I won&amp;rsquo;t be giving out the specific details, but it&amp;rsquo;s starting to look up.&lt;/p>
&lt;p>As for my legs and the edema, this has improved as well with the use of several devices to manage the lymphatic fluid build up. I started with just compression socks, and now I&amp;rsquo;m using a machine that does a draining massage. The cause of this is still not pointing at any one thing as an &amp;lsquo;ah ha&amp;rsquo; moment, but it could just be the summation of all the factors. These are the top factors that I have: stomach surgeries, diabetes, and COVID.&lt;/p>
&lt;h2 id="work">Work&lt;/h2>
&lt;p>According to the doctors, I might be able to go back to work in a number of years. It&amp;rsquo;s not really known at this time if that will happen or not. Either way I&amp;rsquo;m good with, afterall I&amp;rsquo;m just glad to be alive still.&lt;/p>
&lt;p>I&amp;rsquo;m continuing to hone my skills on a number of fronts, and hopefully, if and when I go back, I will have a path to get me back in the game.&lt;/p></description></item></channel></rss>
