Otherwise life is treating me kindly. I have been worried because my boyfriend has not been feeling well for a week or two. He’ll have a physical and bloodwork next week. Really happy about that.

I hope everyone has a peaceful day.

I'm sorry to read that Lithium has hurt you, too. It's really a lousy bugger, in my view. I hope they caught the kidney damage soon. It's good that they are taking the precautions regarding your heart health.
