Holiday Blues
The holiday blues can start right after Halloween. Everything accelerates with the focus being Christmas. Targeted advertising starts and gives you a feeling of being behind with anxiety creeping into your life. The holiday blues can come from the loss of a loved one, lack of family, finances, and whatever centers your life.
My thinking and feelings become more intense around this time. I lost my mother in 1994 and was the one who found her dead. I did not realize how much she centered our family. After her death, things were never the same. When the holidays came around, I couldn’t wait for them to disappear. Certain songs sent me into a tailspin of tears. How did it get better? It became bearable by honoring her name, remembering how funny she was, and the great food, allowing myself to feel sad without guilt, and also spending time with people that I enjoyed being around.

Does Everything Go Back to Normal After a Kidney Transplant?
The short answer is no. As a patient, whether you’re on dialysis or post-transplant, you assume new roles as your own advocate, pharmacist, organizer of appointments, and your labs. It’s your job to know about all aspects of your health. You may be seeing multiple specialists. It becomes a part or full-time job and allows you to detect abnormalities and notify your team.
Taking medications can have side effects, but it’s better to have them monitored by doctors than needing dialysis. After my third transplant four years ago, I experienced Type II diabetes, Covid with pneumonia, hair loss, and an autoimmune skin disorder. Patient portals are incredibly useful for managing your health and medical care.
A woman’s hair is her crown, and promises of growth are a billion-dollar business. I have spent a lot of money chasing the dream of maintaining my tresses. However, I started losing my hair, and it became noticeable to others. With every click and like on various media outlets, an overwhelming amount of targeted ads flooded my feeds. My likes ranged from vitamins for hair growth to hair products, wigs, and weaves. After considering all the options, I decided to go for a haircut. What a relief!❤️
