UPDATE: Good Times, Health Issues, Travel Plans, Missing fellow blogger

I do not know if anybody follows me anymore after such a long hiatus but here I am.

I had a good time up until now. Spring dragged it's feet and it was somewhat cooler than normal. Late May I went to visit my uncle and my cousin joined me later. Uncle got really sick like a bad flu or may be even COVID so, we could not enjoy things together this time. The weather was quite windy too. So, that beach trip was not ideal but OK.

June was awesome because, I went to the US with my SIS to visit my BFF and see Stray Kids on stage in NY at Citi Field. The show was AMAZING. I had so much fun. It was a memorable experience yet again. They never disappoint. 

When I came back home, I decided to stay put in Istanbul till my trip to South Korea in September and I was generally OK, studying Korean, watching tons of videos and loosely making plans about things to do once in Korea.

Two weeks ago, I casually went to a doctor to see if my magnesium was low because, I had problems sleeping. Lo and behold, my magnesium is fine but my calcium was elevated which led the doctor to suspect Parathyroid Adenoma. I had a bunch of tests, an ultrasound and it is pretty much confirmed. Tomorrow, I am going to be given another test. This things need to be taken care of surgically. Bummer...

A born pessimist, I am afraid of all sorts of surgeries. The only one I had was an appendectomy when I was 16, last year of High School. I was so worried about the university entrance exams that, I was not even afraid. All I wanted was to get rid of the appendix so that, I would not have a problem during the two-step exams. Young and naive and feeling invincible I guess.

On top of the Parathyroid, it turned out that, I have some kidney issues as well. I know, this is part of getting old but, I would be content with just getting additional wrinkles rather than health issues. I do not like to be poked and prodded but, here we are.

I would like to go to Korea before I have the surgery because.... you know... a born pessimist.

Anyhow, I have my lovely Stray Kids to entertain me and keep my mind going on overdrive with what can go wrong.

I wanted to check out my favorite blogs yesterday and found out that One Family One Income is removed. I hope she just moved elsewhere or got tired of blogging and hope she is OK. If anyone knows and lets me know, I will appreciate it.

So, this is my update on life. I have a feeling I will go back to blogging because, this is my safe place to talk about my life. 

I hope, everyone is having a good summer. Hope to be back in a few days to share what the surgery timing will be.
