What Is A Calcium Blood Test?
The calcium blood test is a simple and popularly used test for determining one's "risk" for a variety of diseases. A patient will typically have in-office phlebotomy to obtain blood, with lab technicians then taking the sample to check the level of calcium in the blood with point-of-care laboratory equipment.

my new year's resolution is gonna be getting back in touch with my bone doctor and getting back on infusions to treat my osteoporosis
#luckily infusions are now like an hour or less#back when i started them as a youngun they were like half day affairs#where i'd have to wake up super early and chug a lot of soy milk (hot tip 'calcium rich' orange juice has no impact on your calcium levels#they would test blood calcium levels before the infusion and my levels were worse than days i didnt drink any soy milk)#personcole

Tw: almost dying, muscle spasms, seizures and weird body fuckery.
I just had my second ER trip of the month. I thought the amitriptyline was making my heart weird in a non-POTSy way and I had a feeling that something was just wrong. So I woke Mothman up and asked him to take me to the ER.
Which is just as well because as soon as we got there I started experiencing uncontrollable muscle spasms and my resting heart rate shot up to 150.
The triage nurse bolted me through the corridors into a room of about four doctors and seven nurses. The rest is a blur but I remember crying for Mothman because I couldn't see him past the wall of medical people around me.
Turns out I was extremely hypocalcemic, as in my blood results for my ionized calcium levels were so low it was a medical emergency. If I’d stayed home and assumed my rapid heart was from POTS I likely would have had a seizure or possibly a heart attack.
The doctor in charge told me he’d only ever seen the spasmodic movements I was making in textbooks before, but it was so distinctive he knew right away it was hypocalcemia. Blood tests confirmed it. My serum levels were “normal” but my ionozed levels were virtually zero.
Also, my thyroid is shot. I need to get more tests done. Possibly linked to the hypocalcemia. Possibly why my migraines have been so bad. Basically it was the b12 fiasco all over again. All my test results looked normal until I almost died
Again.
Anyway. I’m home now after being given a massive dose of IV calcium and a ton of othe meds. Sadly, I’m not allowed to take the amitriptyline anymore, at least until we’ve figured out my thyroid and why my calcium was so low while still appearing normal. Thankfully I was only on it for a week at a very low dose so the side effects of coming off it cold turkey shouldn't be too bad. I’m dreading the head pain returning. But who knows, maybe the massive dose of calcium will help with that. Keep your fingers crossed for me, eh?
I’m going to try and sleep.
Or just stare into the void for a bit. Haven’t decided yet.

Met the Devil 2
lucifer x human!reader
sorry this took forever it’s been hectic i guess im in my fanfic writer era of madness happening and mentioning it in the a/n (im joking… unless) anyways lads hopefully this is okay womp womp
Part [1]
Based on devilish folklore and wives tales so lucifer may be ooc!
Warnings: BODYHORROR; DESCRIPTIONS OF TEETH FALLING OUT. Mentions of blood, reader dies a goofy ahh death, lucifer being an unsure wreck, and he’s got no game, reader is perpetually confused, inaccurate descriptions of religion, swearing, not proof read and i don’t entirely know where i’m going with this teehee lmk whatcha think xxx
word count: 3.1K
Three months, it had been three exhausting months since the incident with Lucifer. As if there was some devine intervention, everything seemed to fall at your feet working out for you, while also simultaneously sucking. Career wise, you were doing much better, after working for Marie and watching her house keeping it exactly how she wished, excluding the devil you had intercourse with, she put in a word for you at her and her husbands church, which you ended up getting.
Although not a very important role, it paid well. You were mostly in charge of cleanliness, cleaning the areas in the front where children played, keeping the holy fountain fresh, sweeping the pews and repairing any unbinded bibles. However the staff weren’t particularly fond of you, the nuns avoided you like the plague, and the priest gave you glares. Thankfully you rarely interacted with them if at all.
However, while your career was better than before, your physical health wasn’t. Things tanked once you slept with the devil. It started slow, noticing hues appear in your skin that you hadn’t before. Despite the various skin, and blood tests, and the general run down of different illnesses that cause changing pigmentation, there was no evidence to prove anything was truly wrong, just random hues of pinks, purples and blues showing up like you were some corpse.
The second minuet thing to change was your nails, at first you foolishly wondered if your calcium intake increased causing the thickness in your nails to double, but you quickly scrapped that al when your nails grew more rapidly. You really hadn’t changed much diet wise for that to be true, odd as it was it wasn’t something you hated.
The worst of it was teeth. One night you woke to a horrific splitting headache, it wasn’t just one part of your head either. The pain seared through your jaw, down your neck, up your face through your cheeks and in the back of your eyes all the way to the tip top of your head. You walked half asleep half dazed from pain to the bathroom, once the light blinded you and you got woken up a bit was when your brain registered the feeling.
Your mouth filled with the metallic taste of blood as you tuned into the sound of tapping in your mouth as the loose teeth collided. When you threw yourself over your sink spitting continuously, you immediately began to cry feeling your empty gums with your tongue, and the worst part was it seemed you had swallowed some too as the amount in the sink didn’t amount to how much was missing.
That night you must’ve passed out because you were woken up by your angry family member shouting at you to hurry. The strangest thing was, however you awoke with teeth, sharp as razors, and the porcelain sink that was never cleared of blood or teeth was now cleaned.
Since your teeth, you managed to not lose nor gain any other strange things, and the only people who didn’t seem to look past these oddities were the people who attended the church or worked at it. It was like they could tell you slept with Lucifer, something in their eyes always felt so intense and aware even if they’d never spoken to you before. The strangeness didn’t end with your appearance or career.
You had weird dreams you couldn’t explain, it felt so real but once awake you could only remember how you felt about the dream. You had close interactions with certain animals, like ducks, goats, crows, and insects as well. It was like they sought you out no matter where you were, people would give you looks when you started greeting the goat like an old friend.
So,now three months after Lucifer, you changed a lot. You know it’s because of him, you just can’t figure out why, but soon you’ll know. Walking into your work place on your day off, everybody’s least favourite thing to do, but it had to be done. You saw the father reading a bible off to the side of the room, and so you approached. He gave you a stern look, and you could tell by his stiff and shifty body language he wasn’t too happy with your presence, antsy to see what it is you wanted.
“Good afternoon father, how’re you?” You start, standing in a way you perfected prior to attempt to seem unthreatening. The priest hummed closing his bible to pay attention to you. “Good child, good. How’re you, is there something i could aid you in?” Straight to the point, mentally you cheered happy you didn’t have to waltz around small talk for fifteen minutes.
“Well i’m alright father, thank you. I was actually wondering about, um, the devil?” The priest's head lulls back slightly eyebrows raised as his mouth opens with a silent o. “Is there temptation in your life?” You shifted on your feet at the question. You hadn’t really thought of it before but you suppose you felt more inclined to act without thinking,and indulge especially after Lucifer claimed you.
“Well yes, but i was more so wondering on what the devil is capable of? Like making deals, and stuff…” You trail eyes casted away to the large sculpture of jesus on the wall. “Nothing, the devil isn’t as strong as gods love. And never in the bible does it state the devil makes deals, that is but a wives tale.” The priest spoke sternly, punctuating his words to get his point across.
This was news to you however, you always thought the devil was more of a a character in the bible. “Father one more question?” You say head snapping back to look at him. “If the devil were to have intercourse with a person, what’s said to be the outcome? Will god punish?” The poor priest looked like he’d seen a ghost, yet you couldn’t comprehend why. Although slightly morbid you didn’t think the question was that out there, perhaps it was the monotonous way you’d said it.
“I’m afraid i don’t have the answer to that,” And with that the priest stood, excusing himself from your conversation walking off down the isle. “I heard the devil picks somebody to carry the antichrist.” Turning to the voice, there sat a woman, old looking wearing a light blue dress. “The anti christ?” You repeat mostly to yourself, but the elderly woman hummed. “Yep. Woo’s the target, sleeps with them, and they give birth to the antichrist. Bad things happen once the child’s born.” The woman explained turning to look back at you.
“And, what if there’s no anti christ, what if the devil just like…” The old lady cackled looking at your puzzled face. She tsked and ushered you near. When in front of her she met your eyes, again with that weirdly all knowing look on them everyone in the church seemed to give you. Holding out her hand to you, you opened yours holding it out to her.
She placed something in your hand but you weren’t able to know what it was before you dropped it shrieking. It was like gripping a hot coal, you gripped your wrist keeled over trying to breath out the pain. Your eyes briefly glanced over to the floor where the object dropped and sitting there was a gold rosary covered in what was more than likely your blood. Peaking up from your bent over position the old woman had took several steps back from you, hand up to her mouth.
Not knowing what to do, you perked up, thanked her for her input, and sped out to the street. Just like the night you met him, the sky darkened and clashed with lightning, then came the rain. The devil himself must’ve worked through water with the way it was a constant anytime something happened.
Walking down the street at leisure, you inspected the wound the rosary left as rain pelted you like no tomorrow. You sighed brushing your thumb over the large cross shaped gash. Suddenly a crack of lightning came down brightly, it was harsh and so very bright. Then another crack, this time however you felt the harshest pain describable. It was like being lit on fire inside your body, or like your blood was suddenly filled with glass shards and you could feel them coursing through.
You couldn’t scream too in pain, you simply slumped to the floor, the searing pain engulfing your body. As your eyes closed, it felt like the floor was sucking you down, but you couldn’t move. You couldn’t even will your eyes to open as you felt the concrete below you begin to engulf you fully. Your lungs burnt as you couldn’t breathe, but like any other regular circumstance where you’d gasp for breath, you were physically unable to. Like you’re body didn’t know how to breath, so you sat there chest feeling tight, burning and your stomach feeling like it was forcing itself inward but nothing changed.
As torturous as it was, it was short lived and finally you felt freed. The concrete beneath you morphed into something softer cozier, the breathlessness left finally you were able to fill your lungs with air almost as refreshing as a glass of water would’ve been, and when you opened your eyes you were greeted by the sight of a bedroom. It was decorated with whites, reds and golds, around you could see engraved apples and ducks in not only the door frames and baseboards but some of the furniture as well.
You couldn’t will yourself to sit up, you still felt the fire on the inside of your body albeit gentler than before. “Hey cookie.” Cooed a smooth voice, you didn’t have to look to know who it was, but thankfully he stepped in front of you, kneeling down to your laying figure. “How you feeling?” You stared at his face, scanning it over and over, his eyes were hauntingly beautiful. The red irises danced around nervously, you watched intently as his forked tongue brushed against the dryness of his lips.
“You’re beautiful.” You mutter half muffled by the fact you sunk comfortably into the mattress that you lay on. Chuckling quietly the king of hell turned and sat on the side of the bed, petting your head very gently like you were made of glass. “Where am i?” His hand stuttered on your head, and finally you rolled over onto you back to gain the view of him. His hat discarded, his suit jacket gone, he sat only in a vest, dress shirt, and his white suit pants.
“Hell, sweetheart.” It was interesting how warmly he had said that to you, looking down at you with almost a pitying expression. “I’m dead?” You jerked up, immediately regretting it as the pain shot through your body from the top of your head down. Sucking in air through your teeth, clenching your eyes shut Lucifer cooed at you reprimanding you for being too quick. “God must’ve struck you down.” His voice lifted as he let out his attempt at a joke, but you weren’t really in the mood to laugh.
“What happened, with me when i was alive.” You ask looking over to him, the expression he had looked slightly guilty, his eyes casted downward, a frown that tried to be a poker face- but failed. “I, well y’see, heh,” Lucifer fumbled picking at his nails and looking around the room. He bounced himself against the mattress almost like he was amping himself up. “I just wanted to make sure you were okay! So y’know you got some human repellant, claws, sharp teeth, that dead look. Sent some little guardians after you! Too bad you couldn’t meet the snake.” Lucifer tisked mournfully shaking his head.
You smiled at him, oddly enough, it was quite endearing that he set out to do these things to keep you safe. “Oh!” He sprung up meeting your eyes properly. “I also made Marie get you that job, and I forced a good pay, always here to help y’know.” The king briefly pinched your cheek before retracting and standing. He looked frazzled, uncertain, he pulled at his clothes like he was trying to fix them. “Sorry it’s been awhile. Y’know i gave up going to earth in like 1850.” The devil laughed out, scratching the back of his neck.
You scooted yourself to the edge of the bed, Lucifer watching intently. “So, what, well I mean, why…?” You were confused head bobbing as you tried to make sense of everything. Things didn’t entirely add up this you were certain of, and you could tell the king was keeping something hidden from you. “As you know hell is well, it’s hell, and you were so…” He trailed off hands circling eachother as he gazed off into space, attempting to find the right words.
Deflating his body slumped over, in one foul swoop it looked as though he’d lost all the will to keep up his charade. “Look I didn’t think you were gonna shake my hand, but in the moment I was hooked on you. The night you took the apple reminded me of days of my life i can’t go back to. So i may have indulged, but i didn’t expect you to be soooo,”
Your eyebrows pinched together as you watched him with judgement, giving him a look that egged him on, yet warned him. “Captivating?” You ‘hmphed’ at his term, as weak and guilty grin overtaking his face. “Okay okay. I enjoyed our night, you gave me advice and helpful conversation I haven’t gotten in, pfft,” He was now pacing, eyes wide as his arms wrapped around himself as a way to secure him.
“Ever, you were a breath of fresh air! I didn’t expect the deal to go through! I didn’t expect you to grab my hand, so when you sold your soul you started to gain those devilish features. I wanted to make sure you were still safe so I manipulated Marie, got you the job, but nothing else was planned!” He exclaimed hands coming up in defence, although it wasn’t like you were angry, you sat there patiently watching him and waiting for him to finish his explanation at his own pace. Understanding this was probably just as stressful for him, if what he says is true.
Blowing out air the king pulled gently at his hair. “I don’t know what to do from here, I sent animals to protect you, I knew something would happen, damnit!” The short man raged eyes blowing up red, that snapped you up, gently you grabbed his shoulders. “I believe you, I have no idea what’s going on either so it’s okay! I’m terrified, but you don’t look any better. Maybe we can figure it out together?” You suggest attempting to be a voice of reason, watching his eyes hue from bright red to the yellow and red irises you’re more familiar with.
He sighed and nodded looking slightly embarrassed. “Do you think we could set some ground rules?” You quirked a brow at that, watching as he once again began to pace. “My daughter, Charlie, we spoke about her, she can’t know I made a deal with you! And for now, she can’t know i did anything sexual. Oh no no no. NO!” Lucifer panicked, switching between gripping his hair and swinging his arms around. It felt like a stab in the gut, it wasn’t your first time being a secret, but you wish you could’ve kept the promise you made to yourself about getting into another situation where you were just a secret fling.
“I’m not gonna pretend that doesn’t get under my skin slightly, I’d prefer not to be the devil's dirty secret, but I understand what Charlie means to you so I’ll do whatcha need.” Lucifer looked at you sheepishly, it seemed like he slightly regretted the choice of delivery as you crossed your arms across your chest, looking at him with a tinge of disgust in your eye. “Okay next, uh let's see, okay you’ll pose as my assistant and you’ll spend the days with me so I can keep an eye on ya….”
You quirk your head, pondering if you should say what you want to say. Which was questioning him and the motive here, it’s normal to say things you don’t always mean in such an intense moment of sex fueled emotion, but now there’s a big consequence and you’re not sure if he really knows what he wants to do. “Hey,” You say quietly grabbing him from his frantic mumbling that he was doing to himself. He hummed at you, his attention refocused on you as he did. “Do you at all regret the deal.”
Lucifers eyes blew wide, his lips puckering as his fingers fiddled with each other. “Regret is a very loaded work y’know- uh, I think- eh, maybe if- okay so,” He fumbled his wings popping out feathers flying around as they did, they puffed out with stress making you gawk. “Uhm, I wouldn't do it again if I had the choice! But still I would've wanted the sex!” Finally he pumped his chest proudly, meanwhile you rolled your eyes. “That’s what most men would do, yeah.” Your tone was bitter, catching him off guard a bit, to be fair he didn’t know what you wanted from him. Normally deals were two sided, but this one you benefited nothing from, except trauma and an early grave.
“I didn’t mean that,” Damn he really lost his way after Lilith huh, every flirtation came out so naturally but now it seemed it was so unsure, no king of a whole mini word of demons should be unsure, he mentally scolded himself for being so unfit.
“Listen can we figure this out later, I still feel the pain from when I died, so I would love to sleep that off.” You say plopping yourself back on the comfy mattress. “Yes, yes of course go ahead! We’ll figure this out together hm, shedevil? Won’t leave you in the dark!” This time his exclamation sounded certain as he jumped into the bed with you, snapping his fingers so the lights blinked out. You hummed too lazy to respond and crawled underneath the covers, it was nice, warm and smelt like him, underneath the covers you felt him slip in with you, his body heat emitting off of him in waves.
You hoped your mind was less clouded tomorrow, hopefully you could have a better conversation with the king about this deal, get things sorted out.

So apparently my blood test results showed up, and the only things that are mildly fucky are things that have to do with having too much calcium in your blood - something that'd apparently explain the constant need to go through liquids like a big city sewer system - but besides the fatigue and endless pissing, the list of symptoms of hypercalcemia also includes anxiety and depression. I've got a doctor's appointmen in two weeks and I'm not going to jump into my own conclusions before hearing what they have to say, but wouldn't it be funny if my lifelong struggles with mental health issues that haven't been helped by antipsychotics, antidepressants or anything of the sort had - this whole time - been caused by
having too much bones in my blood.

Unknown (pt 1)
Y/n: Really, Conrad? You asked, as he threw his energy drink on the man's car.
Conrad: Yes. He parked on a disabled parking, and he wasn't at all. So, this is what he gets.
Y/n: Well, if he's breaking the law...then I guess it's only fair. You replied, smiling at him.
After a while of running around, and treating patients a mother with a little girl came running in yelling and asking for help.
Since you are a 2nd year resident, you ran up to the mother and the daughter. You started listening to her breathing, it was slow and sounded steady. Suddenly, she started seizing. After you gave her a shot to stop the seizing, the girl was lying calm.
Y/n: Ma'am, does your daughter have a history of seizures?
Girls mom: N...no. Never.
Conrad: Mind telling me, what happened today?
Girls mom: She was...uh...she said she had a headache and she also had a fever. But I thought she was just getting a flu.
Conrad: Any other symptoms, that we should know about?
Girls mom: Yes...she...she said that she had a tummy ache too and uh...um...vomited twice.
Y/n: Your call Dr Hawkins. You said, looking over at him since he was assigned to your case.
Conrad: Run tests, MRI, X-ray, and Labs.
Nodding, you made notes of the tests that needed to be done, and got on it right away.
"Few hours later"
Y/n: CONRAD! you yelled, down the hallway, as you ran to him.
Slipping in the process, Conrad caught you in his arms preventing you from falling.
Conrad: Woah. Are you okay? He asked, as he pulled you up.
Y/n: Um...yeah. Thank you. You replied, as you swallowed. The...the test came in. Little Anita, has swelling on the brain as shown here on the MRI, X-ray shows that her chest is normal and her blood shows that she has a few divisionsies in her blood.
Conrad: Okay. I'll consult with the neurosurgeon, ask what he thinks we should do. In the mean time, I want you to give her some vitamin c, vitamin e and calcium. Also make sure she stays hydrated.
Y/n: Anything else?
Conrad: Let's just hear what Dr Cooper says before we do anything else.
Nodding, you turned around to leave, when you were stopped by Conrad speaking.
Conrad: Note, be careful on the floor, we wouldn't want you falling now would we?
Y/n: You'd be worth falling for. You said, which caused you and Conrad to laugh.
Conrad: That was a horrible pun.
Y/n: Sometimes, you just got to make one.
After a long shift, a little girl that was in the clear you could finally go home.
Once you got home you took a shower, washed your hair and once you were done you dried your hair and got dressed in your pj's.
There was a knock on the door which made you frown, then suddenly the door opened to reveal Conrad.
Y/n: Conrad? What are you doing here? You asked, as you grabbed the black silk robe next to you.
Conrad: This. He gave a simple answer as he kissed you.
Y/n: Conrad, what are we doing? You asked, as you placed your forehead on his, and your hands on his chest. What about Nic?
Conrad: Shh. Don't talk. He said, as he kissed you again.
Without hesitating, you kissed him back as he undid the robe making it fall open. With ease he brushed it off your shoulders, as his hands moved to your waist. Moving his hand up on your waist trying to remove your shirt, he asked you to jump and you did.
Wrapping your legs around his waist, and arms around his neck you giggled as he kissed your neck. Moving your hair to the other side, you you connected your lips as he laid you down gently.
Conrad removed his jacket, shirt and pants leaving him in his underwear.
Hovering over you Conrad, smiled as he kissed your nose and forehead before looking at your pj's.
Conrad: These are beautiful, fortunately I get to take this off. He said, causing you both to laugh.
He gently, pulled down the side of the strap kissing your shoulder then your collarbone. Conrad moved his hand to your leg, as he rubbed your leg.
He then kissed your neck, your hand moved to his hair, as you pulled his to your lips.
Y/n: No foreplay, Conrad.
Conrad: That eager I see. Alright then, no foreplay. He connected your lips as he moved to take off your clothes.
"Next morning"
Y/n: Morning. You said, shifting to your side as you looked at Conrad.
Conrad: Morning. He replied, laying on his stomach looking at you. You know, there's still some time before, we go to work.
Y/n: What are you getting at Conrad.
Conrad: You know what I mean. He smirked, as he attacked you with kisses.
After a while, Conrad fell beside you on his back and you both were breathing heavily as you both looked at the ceiling.
Conrad: That was fun.
Y/n: Yeah...fun. But...should that have happened? You asked, looking at him.
Conrad: What? Why are you asking that? He questioned, as he sat up.
Y/n: I...i don't know. You said, sitting up holding the covers to your chest. I just...im not sure what happened last night or this morning...i don't know the meaning behind it.
Conrad: I don't know either. All I know is I couldn't wait anymore to be with you. We can talk about this, work it out.
Y/n: How about dinner?
Conrad: Tonight, after shift?
Y/n: Takeout. It'll be better, since we'll both be tired.
Conrad: Deal. He said, as he kissed your cheek. Before I leave, you should know all 6 times were amazing. He Siad, making you blush crazy.
As Conrad, finished getting dressed you kept looking at him and smiling as he come by to give you another passion filled kiss before leaving.
It was official, you were involved in something with Conrad that you didn't even know how it will end up in the end of it all.
Question was, how would it end with everyone around at the hospital and anyone can find out.

Since we're back on the topic of health, has any of you ladies dealt with low phosphorus in blood?
I asked my doctor to test me for calcium, because I'm always freaking out about calcium, and she also checked me for phosphorus, and it turned out calcium is just a tiny bit low, but phosphorus is low, and now I'm being tested for parathyroid hormone, which as far as I can tell, controls how the calcium is regulated in the body.
I've been reading on what low phosphorus means and it's like, horror stories, freaked me out, so I've decided to ignore all that, and act like things are fine :) the very best thing to do for health anxiety :) it can't be that bad :)
#health issues#i love how nobody explains anything to me in health industry#they just throw big words at me as if i understand any of that#later i get to look them all up#and still not understand

hey guys! this is going to be my last post i think as i’ve decided to give recovery a real shot as i need to take advantage of all the help and support i have in place now whilst i still have it - i hope you guys understand and support my decision :)
i have suffered with my eating disorder since april 2023 and since have lost around 65lbs (around 30kg), i was admitted to hospital in november due to refeeding and was discharged later in december with community support from my dietitian, psychologist etc, and i was still refusing food to the point i was being threatened with inpaitent again in early january and it had got to the point where i couldn’t even stand up from sitting without collapsing/fainting and my hair was falling out in huge chunks and all my blood tests were showing extreme deficiency’s and i finally realised how much the people around were worried and i realised i need to get better even if its not for myself but for the people around me, so since the middle of january ive managed to up my intake to 2 meals a day and im barely purging and not misusing laxatives at all anymore and of course this hasn’t been easy but i’ve been really engaging with the support and therapy sessions and i do really feel a difference, my weight at the beginning of january was 57kg and ive been maintaining that weight with my current diet and frequent exercise! its not as low as i would have wanted but i guess i can live healthily maintaining at 57kg because my recent blood test have shown improvements in my potassium, vitamin D and b12 however my calcium levels are still quite low and haven’t changed much but im trying to find ways to improve them, so yeh overall recovery is going okay at the moment i mean i still have bad days every now and again but that’s apart of recovery! i have felt the best i have felt physically in months and my mindset has really improved since.
i hope this maybe inspires/encourages someone to give recovery a go! not pushing it tho! everyone needs there own time :)

I have also realized that last time I was having bone pain and seemed to be dealing with high blood calcium, taking magnesium really helped. It would also lower my blood pressure [one main risk for kidney damage when they slow down is your blood pressure getting too high]. So long as I don't over-do it, starting to take some magnesium again will help with both blood pressure and with getting extra calcium and phosphorus out of my blood so it stops fucking with my bones, and will help prevent me from developing cardiac spasms this time.
All of this really was way worse 5 years ago, and I recovered. I recovered while not even realizing I should be avoiding phosphorus or sugar... And eating mostly oreos and pork to avoid letting my blood calcium spike [because it was causing heart attacks, see I am not even having daily heart attacks! I wish that was a joke].
And I think the only reason why the problem came back is because I had coca cola every day for like 4 months [in pursuit of atp] and then started a daily multivitamin... And then had loratadine twice daily for 1-2 weeks because of that autoimmune attack -and- stacked aspirin and avdil and another antihistamine on top of it. I think if I just do not do that, I should be okay. The autoimmune attack has calmed the fuck down now anyway.
I think so long as I do a recovery plan and do not drink coca cola daily or have a daily multivitamin anymore, I'll be okay, it's just going to take time to recover and that's very annoying because my hands/arms really fucking hurt, and painkillers might make the problem worse and aren't helping very much anyway.
And to be clear the only reason I am not already at the hospital or clinic asking for tests now, is because I have been through this before and it has been -proven- they will go out of their way not to help me until my symptoms are so far past that all anyone can do is speculate on what the problem was and if I had "really stopped peeing for over a week" or was "really" having what perfectly describes cardiac spasms including my blood pressure suddenly tripling. All it'll do is run my body down and expose me to the sun and corona which is probably part of what triggered this to begin with. I -also- wish doctors would do their jobs and take me seriously so it was actually of use for me to go to a doctor about this... But also my doctor just gave me the worst kind of 'doctor breaking up with you' phone call and I haven't tracked down a local clinic yet that isn't part of their doctor clique.
I am asking you not to worry. And I am doing it in good faith that I really will be fine.
I was so so so so so much closer to dying of this 5 years ago and no one helped me then either, in fact my roommates were consistently bringing corona home, caused a black mold problem in my room and kept letting the c0 from the dryer exhaust flood the basement where I lived... And that's not happening this time either! So don't worry too much. My kidneys and liver seem to do the same thing as my thyroid gland [bounce back so they can threaten to fall under attack all over again sometime later].
They gave my thyroid 5 months to live 10-15 ish years ago, and it's like, fine actually, I just have to manually manage my iodine intake because it's my immune system's favourite chew toy. The problem with my thyroid is literally that it just keeps healing instead of dying so I am -stuck- in the hyperthyroid initial phase of thyroiditis... Indefinitely [hence having hashimoto's that somehow acts like graves disease and halfway tests that way because my thyroid levels are high as shit instead of low]. My immune system attacks my organs and tissues and then if I can give them what they need and calm down the attack, they heal. I have no choice in this and I have never had a doctor who actually knew the full scope of what they were looking at anyway. My body just chews on itself for fun and I can't stop any of it.
I am going to be whiny about it. This is me being whiny about it.
I am used to bounding back from everything withing like 3 days unless it's an ongoing autoimmune problem... The last time this took MONTHS to feel significantly better and like a year+ to fully stop having heart problems. Again, it was way worse last time and I had way less idea what was happening, but I don't want to deal with this for the next 3-6 months and that's making me feel more whiny about the whole thing. Like your hand hurting is one thing, but knowing it's going to keep hurting like that for half a year? Instantly exhausting. Migraines suck, but knowing you have had them last 1-3 months without stopping and that advil won't save you? ahahahahahahaha
But I'll find a way to cope. I'll probably just get slightly weird about something online. But in my defense when I was dying of organ failure last time, and was exposed to c0 and black mold at the same time, no one accused me of those things, so I have to imagine I somehow managed to not be *that* weird.
And if I don't get better and my kidneys keep getting worse I will go to a clinic and demand they test my kidney function like a broken record until someone does, and if I am far gone enough to actually need treatment, they will have a very hard time denying me treatment. I will involve lawyers if I have to. I will talk to whatever bodies of authority can do anything to a doctor at all and I will make myself the biggest pain in the ass. My doctor already "patient fired" me, so if I think my life is actually on the line they will find out how much MORE annoying I can chose to be. I prommy <3
The only reason I am not doing that now is that the problem isn't far gone enough that it'll help me more than hurt me.
The only downside is that one of the best ways to decrease blood calcium and phosphorus is to make your urine more acidic... But I already have gout, so there's some kind of balancing act I need to figure out here and a question of how many beets I should actually be eating and which pain/problem is worse or more pressing. There's a chance that if I ignore my liver entirely for now and strip all excess purines etc from my diet I can keep a few key things incorporated and not make either problem any worse. And at least all information I can find all confirms green tea will help every problem I have without hurting any of them, and I have this whole fucking collection I couldn't drink before because it make me pee 50 times a day.
Worse case scenario I deal with gout for way longer to get the extra phosphorus out of my blood so the calcium bone pain thing stops being a problem and then address the gout.
And complain about it T~T I want steak and cokey cola.
#eugh I have to go pee again#see#kidneys still work#so I can diet and *correct beverage* my way out of this one too#I just have to start eating fish instead of steak again and have more fresh veggies

6:13am and I am awake having coffee. Even though I don’t have to work today my internal clock screams at 5am to wake up. Once Maeve senses I’m stirring she is right there trying to be as sweet as possible because she wants to be fed. Rocket decided to join in too and they wrestled banging into the floor and door till I gave up at 6am and put food in their bowls.
I miss the automatic feeder. But it’s worth it to keep Maeve healthy and stave off any kidney failure for as long as possible. I still call the vet weekly and her weight hasn’t changed. She’ll go back in 3 months or so for her next blood test. Hopefully with her prescription food and chia seed supplement her calcium stays low/in check.
These faces I’d do anything for though 🤷🏼♀️

Natsuki Shinomiya (Repeat)

QA: Rei (Twitter: wolfe_raine)
September — Secrets in Velato
Summer vacation has ended and the second term has begun. Now that the opening ceremony has finished, Saotome Academy's famous health exams will begin.
Saotome Academy's health exams are unusual. The principal, who has a medical license, calls every individual student to check up on them.
Otoya Ittoki: Haa... I don't get it, I feel healthy, so why...
Ittoki-kun comes back to the classroom with a gloomy expression after finishing his health checkup with the principal.
He's usually so upbeat. What's wrong?
Haruka Nanami: Ittoki-kun…? What's the matter? Did something happen?
Otoya Ittoki: Huh? … Ah, yeah. I don't get why, but I was told to get a follow-up.
Haruka Nanami: Is something wrong?
Otoya Ittoki: … I was told I might have an incurable disease.
Haruka Nanami: Huh…?
Otoya Ittoki: Well,it's not like it's set in stone or anything... Yeah...
Otoya Ittoki: Everything's fine... I'll just go back for the follow-up.
Haruka Nanami: I hope nothing's wrong.
Ittoki-kun staggers back to his seat. He's always so lively… so I'm sure it's a mistake.
But I'm still a little worried about him...
Otoya Ittoki: Ah, Masa! Welcome back! U-um... How were your results? Are you… good?
Masato Hijirikawa: I'm not sure why but I was told to get a follow-up. There seems to be something wrong with my bones because of a calcium deficiency. Drinking milk seems to be the solution, but...
Otoya Ittoki: Oh yeah, you hate milk, huh?
Masato Hijirikawa: … No, that's… not true...
Otoya Ittoki: But I've never seen you drink milk before, Masa.
Masato Hijirikawa: … You're just imagining things. I'm… not picky.
Otoya Ittoki: Hmm? Okay, then try drinking it. Here you go.
Ittoki-kun hands a box of milk to Hijirikawa-sama.
Masato Hijirikawa: Why do you have that?
Otoya Ittoki: I figured at some point this might happen, hehe!
Ittoki-kun flashes a cheeky grin.
Masato Hijirikawa: …
Tomochika Shibuya: I'm back…! Listen, I can't even... He's making me have a follow-up!
Haruka Nanami: Huh? Tomo-chan, too?
Tomochika Shibuya: "Too"? What do you mean?
Otoya Ittoki: We all have to get tested again, too. Right, Masa?
Masato Hijirikawa: Yes...
Otoya Ittoki: If everyone needs to get tested again, then there's no point to this checkup round. Does the principal really have a medical license?
Select the Phrase!
持ってるよ絶対! He must have it! (+0 Love, +10 Music)
Haruka Nanami: The principal is an outstanding person. I'm sure he has a medical license. I doubt he would lie...
Tomochika Shibuya: Well, I don't think he would lie, but he does say some out-there stuff. That guy's flying by the seat of his pants...
Tomochika Shibuya: Aw well, it's your turn next. You should go.
Haruka Nanami: Okay...
持ってるとは思うけど。 I think he has it. (+0 Love +5 Music)
Haruka Nanami: Maybe it's difficult for him to do checkups for everybody by himself?
Tomochika Shibuya: I wouldn't say he's having a hard time, it's more like he's just being sloppy. Aw well, it's your turn.
Haruka Nanami: Okay.
さぁ・・・Who knows… (+0 Love, +0 Music)
Haruka Nanami: He probably does, but I wonder how he found the time to get a medical license when he's a renowned idol...
Tomochika Shibuya: The principal sure is full of mysteries. Aw well, it's your turn now.
Haruka Nanami: Okay.
Haruka Nanami: Excuse me.
Shining Saotome: Come in, patient!
Haruka Nanami: … I'm not a patient, but I'm in your care.
Shining Saotome: HA HA HA! No problem! I can cure even incurable diseases in a flash!
Incurable diseases…? Then I'm sure Ittoki-kun will be okay.
Shining Saotome: Then I'll begin your checkup! KYU-PEEEEN! Opening my Saotome EYES!
The principal's eyes fly wide open! … I think.
Shining Saotome: Height, 157 centimeters. Weight, 45 kilograms. Heartbeat, normal. Blood pressure, normal. White blood cell count and red blood cell count, looking good. Hematocrit, AST, ALT...
Shining Saotome: Everything is normal! Now I will begin the medical questionnaire. Please step on this!
The principal holds out a photo of Shinomiya-san.
Select the Phrase!
そんなことできません。I can't do that. (+20 Love, +0 Music)
Shining Saotome: No matter what?
Haruka Nanami: Yes... I'm sorry.
Shining Saotome: Hmm, seems like you have a serious illness that can't be cured by neither me or the waters of Kusatsu*. I'll do another checkup on you later.
*Kusatsu is referring to the Kusatsu Onsen, which is a hot spring in Japan that is famous for its health benefits.
え・・・これを・・・? Huh? On this? (+10 Love, +0 Music)
Shining Saotome: Step on this, please.
Haruka Nanami: Eek...
Shinomiya-san has the sweetest smile in the photograph. I know it's only a photograph, but I can't step on it...
Haruka Nanami: I-I can't...
Shining Saotome: Hrm? This is a worrisome and dangerous disease. Even I can't cure it!
・・・はい。 ... Okay. (+0 Love +0 Music)
I say that, but... Shinomiya-san has the sweetest smile in the photograph...
If I were to step on this, I would feel so bad... Maybe if I just pretended to step on it...
I show that I'm stepping on the photograph, but I make sure to stop my foot right before touching it.
Shining Saotome: Cheating is a no-no-no-NO! You need to really grind and get in there good!
Haruka Nanami: I-I'm sorry... I can't.
Shining Saotome: Hmm, seems like this disease is quite dire! This is one disease that even I can't cure!
Eek... Even the principal can't cure it…?
Otoya Ittoki: Huh? You're also getting a follow-up?
Haruka Nanami: That's right.
Otoya Ittoki: Hmm... The only one who's left is Natsuki...
Natsuki Shinomiya: I'm back~!
Haruka Nanami: Umm… how did it go?
Natsuki Shinomiya: Saotome-sensei told me that my body is more than healthy. However, it seems my heart isn't.
Natsuki Shinomiya: He told me that it seems that there's somebody else in my heart. We're not balanced.
Natsuki Shinomiya: Umm... so does that mean I’ve had somebody else inside of me this entire time and I've never noticed? Isn't that what’s called a split personality?
Haruka Nanami: Huh…?
Select the Phrase!
そ、それは・・・ W-well... (+10 Love, +0 Music)
Natsuki Shinomiya: I see, I get it now... What is the other me like? Also...
Natsuki Shinomiya: What causes me to switch? … That’s right, Syo-chan might know.
Natsuki Shinomiya: I'll go ask him.
Haruka Nanami: Ah! Shinomiya-san!
I chase after Shinomiya-san.
そんなことっ。 That can't be true! (+20 Love, +0 Music)
Haruka Nanami: Shinomiya-san is Shinomiya-san. You don't have another you.
Natsuki Shinomiya: Are… you sure? But there are gaps in my memory... Maybe what he said is true...
Natsuki Shinomiya: What is the other me like? Also, what causes me to switch…?
Natsuki Shinomiya: That’s right! Syo-chan might know. I'll go ask him!
Haruka Nanami: Ah! S-Shinomiya-san!
I chase after Shinomiya-san quickly.
学園長先生がそう言うなら。 The principal must be right. (+0 Love, +10 Music)
Natsuki Shinomiya: Yes… you're right. Haa... What is the other me like? Also, what causes me to switch?
Natsuki Shinomiya: Maybe Syo-chan knows something…? I'll go ask him.
Haruka Nanami: Ah! S-Shinomiya-san!
I chase after Shinomiya-san quickly.
Syo Kurusu: Huh? What triggers your split personality?
Natsuki Shinomiya: Yes. I was thinking that there must be something that triggers the switch.
Natsuki Shinomiya: Since we're roommates, I thought you might know something.
Syo Kurusu: That's tough to say... Well...
Syo-kun shoots me a troubled look.
Syo-kun and I know how scary it is when Shinomiya-san takes off his glasses... We can't say anything careless.
Syo Kurusu: Uhh...
Natsuki Shinomiya: For example, do I switch personalities when I'm sleeping? When I'm holding a microphone? Gripping a handle? Removing my glasses? … Hm? Glasses…?
Syo Kurusu: Gla… sses? Nah, can't be your glasses...
Natsuki Shinomiya: How are you so sure?
Syo Kurusu: Huh? … Just a gut feeling.
Haruka Nanami: I-I don't think… it's your glasses, either.
Natsuki Shinomiya: … You two are acting a little strange... Maybe I should try taking off my glasses...
Syo Kurusu: AAAH, HOLD IT!
Syo-kun grips Shinomiya-san's arm.
Syo Kurusu: I-I'm COMPLETELY normal right now! Nothing strange going on at all! R-right?
Syo-kun exchanges looks with me. I-I have to go along with the story...
Haruka Nanami: Y-yes! Like he said. Nothing… strange at all.
Natsuki Shinomiya: Really? I guess if you say so...
Syo Kurusu: Phew.
Breathing a sigh of relief, Syo-kun lets go of Shinomiya-san's arm.
… However.
Natsuki Shinomiya: … But on second thought...
Shinomiya-san reaches for his glasses.
Haruka Nanami: Shi... N-Natsuki-kun!
I swiftly reach out and grab Shinomiya-san's hand.
Natsuki Shinomiya: Yes? What is it, Haru-chan?
Shinomiya-san, hearing me call him by his first name, breaks into a beaming smile and squeezes my hand in return.
Haruka Nanami: U-um... Y-you look nice with your glasses.
Natsuki Shinomiya: Thank you very much! I love these glasses too!
Syo Kurusu: Oh, is that so... I think you look great in those glasses, too. Never take them off for the rest of your life!
Natsuki Shinomiya: I don't think that's possible even if you wanted me to, Syo-chan! Hmm, there's definitely something strange going on here. Maybe I… really should try taking off these glasses...
Syo Kurusu: AAAH! Wait, wait, WAIT! I'll bring somebody who knows what to do. Stay here!
Haruka Nanami: Ah, me too...
Syo Kurusu: Listen to me. Don't you dare take off your glasses before I get back. I'll cut all ties with you if you do!
Natsuki Shinomiya: …! Okay, I understand. I'll wait patiently!
Syo Kurusu: … So that's the gist. We want to prevent Natsuki from taking off his glasses, but what do you think we should do…?
I had gathered all of A Class and Syo-kun had gathered all of S Class.
Everyone is very cooperative since all of us know what happens when Shinomiya-san takes off his glasses.
Otoya Ittoki: Yeah, it's always a disaster when Natsuki takes off his glasses.
Masato Hijirikawa: We went through much grief during that pool incident.
Tokiya Ichinose: If we slip up on this, the entire academy might end up being demolished. You have my full cooperation.
We inaugurate the "Prevent Natsuki Shinomiya from Taking Off His Glasses Group" and begin exchanging opinions.
Otoya Ittoki: I got it! If you praise Natsuki's glasses enough, maybe he'll never try taking them off?
Masato Hijirikawa: Could it possibly be that simple…?
Haruka Nanami: Umm... Actually, I already tried praising his glasses and it was no use.
Otoya Ittoki: I see... I thought it was a great plan... That's too bad.
Ren Jinguji: Then how about this? I'll dress up as a fortune teller and tell him that if he takes off his glasses, he'll get cursed.
Ren Jinguji: I'll fill his head with all the unlucky things that would happen if he takes them off. How about it? Sounds interesting, don't you think, Lady?
Jinguji-san puts his arm around my shoulder.
… Umm, I heard that he enjoys seducing women, but how should I react to this?
Tokiya Ichinose: Ren... Restrain yourself. You're troubling her.
Ren Jinguji: My bad. My lady is so charming that I couldn't help myself... My apologies.
Jinguji-san winks at me.
He is incredibly suave. Idol candidacy really suits him.
I understand why girls scream about him all the time.
Tokiya Ichinose: Anyway, going back to the original topic, how about we ask Saotome-san to tell him, "My diagnosis that you have a split personality was a mistake"?
After Ichinose-san finishes his sentence, everyone's expressions change.
Without anyone saying a word, I could tell what everyone's thinking.
"That's it!"
Shining Saotome: No can do!
We had immediately headed over to Saotome-sensei and explained the situation, but...
Syo Kurusu: Please, help us! We're begging you! The peace of the academy rests in your hands!
Shining Saotome: My word is final! There are no take-backs!
No matter what anybody says, he refuses to change his mind.
Tokiya Ichinose: … This is no use.
Ichinose-san turns his back on the principal and leaves.
Otoya Ittoki: H-hey! Wait up!
Syo Kurusu: Why are you giving up so easily? You're the one who suggested that we should have him change his word.
Tokiya Ichinose: I said that would be the best solution, but the way this is going, it's impossible to get that man to do as we ask. This is a waste of time.
Syo Kurusu: Then what should we do?
Tokiya Ichinose: … Let me think. How about we try this?
???: S-Shinomiya-san! I-I made a mistake in saying that you have a split personality!
Ichinose-san's strategy is to have someone pretend they're the principal and tell him that the diagnosis was a mistake.
Taking the principal's height into account, we had Hijirikawa-sama dress as the principal.
We're hiding around the corner of the hall and watching Hijirikawa-sama from afar… but we can only see Shinomiya-san from where we are.
Otoya Ittoki: Is this going to work? Do your best, Masa...
Syo Kurusu: We're toast if this falls through...
Natsuki Shinomiya: Huh…? A mistake?
???: Y-yeees. A mistake's a mistake.
Hijirikawa-sama does his best to copy the principal's voice, but… he sounds a little off...
Everyone else is probably thinking the same thing considering how anxiously they're watching. I hope he doesn't get discovered...
Natsuki Shinomiya: I see... Is that it! It was all a mistake. I'm so glad!
Shinomiya-san readily believes the words of the disguised Hijirikawa-sama.
Otoya Ittoki: Huh? … He believed him? Really?
Syo Kurusu: Ahh, he's too pure... He really is naive.
Syo Kurusu: He probably doesn't think the Shining he's talking to could possibly be an impostor.
Everyone lets out a sigh of relief. The "Prevent Natsuki Shinomiya from Taking Off His Glasses Group" disperses.
A few days pass. Everyone who has gone for a follow-up checkup has been told that they're in good health.
Haruka Nanami: I'm relieved that there's nothing wrong with me. I'm glad everyone else is in good health, too!
Natsuki Shinomiya: Yes, I'm also glad. If anything were to happen to you, I...
Haruka Nanami: N-not just me, but everyone else, too! That includes you, Shinomiya-san...
Natsuki Shinomiya: I agree. I was wondering what I would do if I really do have a split personality that’s triggered by taking off my glasses...
Eek... In reality, that is the truth, but… I can't tell him.
It hurts to lie, but there's nothing else we can do.
Natsuki Shinomiya: I'm relieved to know that it was all a misunderstanding. That means it must be fine to take off my glasses when I kiss!
Haruka Nanami: Huh?! K-kiss?!
Natsuki Shinomiya: Of course. They may get in the way depending on the situation.
Haruka Nanami: U-um... Romance is banned in the academy... I don't think you'd be allowed to kiss…?
Natsuki Shinomiya: Romance? Isn't a kiss just a greeting? That's the way it is overseas, usually.
Haruka Nanami: Overseas…?
Natsuki Shinomiya: Yes. I lived in France until I was five years old.
Haruka Nanami: B-but, this is Japan... A kiss is very special... You should only do it with someone you love...
Natsuki Shinomiya: Hmm... That means I can kiss someone who's really special to me!
Select the Phrase!
そう・・・かも? Perhaps…? (+5 Love, +0 Music)
Natsuki Shinomiya: That must be it!
Haruka Nanami: … That's not what I meant... You see, the school rules...
Just for a moment, Shinomiya-san's lips brush my cheek.
Haruka Nanami: Ah… um… uh...
Natsuki Shinomiya: This is proof of my affection. Hehehe!
あの・・・そういうことではなく・・・ Umm... That's not it... (+20 Love, +0 Music)
Haruka Nanami: Romance is banned according to the school rules, so...
Natsuki Shinomiya: I think what's banned is a boy and a girl dating each other, not the feeling of love for someone else.
Haruka Nanami: That… might be true. But… I think a kiss is something done between two people who truly love each other...
Natsuki Shinomiya: … Do you hate me?
Haruka Nanami: No… I would never…! Um… I like you very much... You're my partner… after all...
Natsuki Shinomiya: If that's the case, there's no problem at all!
Peck! Just for a moment, Shinomiya-san's lips brush my cheek.
Haruka Nanami: !!!
Natsuki Shinomiya: I like you very much, too.
えっと・・・その・・・ Umm... Well... (+10 Love, +0 Music)
Haruka Nanami: A kiss… shouldn't be given so casually...
Natsuki Shinomiya: It's not casual at all!
Peck! Just for a moment, Shinomiya-san's lips brush my cheek.
Haruka Nanami: !!!
Natsuki Shinomiya: This is proof that I trust you absolutely. I would never kiss with no thought at all.
No matter how much I try explaining to him, I don't get through to him.
Starting from that day, Shinomiya-san has begun occasionally kissing me on the cheek.
… Where did my explanation go wrong?
Is it because… he's a genius? I feel Shinomiya-san's way of thinking is different from most people.
Maybe… the way he feels about a kiss is different from how I feel about it.
Even so… every time he kisses my cheek, my heart skips a beat and the part of my cheek where his lips touched feels hot.
Why? I feel embarrassed, but at the same time… happy.
What did I do?
Haruka Nanami: Hey, Kuppuru, what do you think?
Tomochika Shibuya: "What do you think"...? What in the world are you asking your cat?
Haruka Nanami: Ah, Tomo-chan! Welcome back!
Tomochika Shibuya: I'm home! So spill! Let me know what's on your mind. You can try talking to the cat, but all he can do is meow back at you!
Haruka Nanami: Well...
It's true that all he can say is "meow", but I feel like Kuppuru understands what I tell him.
… But putting that aside...
Haruka Nanami: The thing is...
I tell Tomo-chan about Shinomiya-san.
Tomochika Shibuya: I see. So your heart skips a beat when he kisses you…?
Select the Phrase!
うん。 Yeah. (+20 Love, +5 Music)
Haruka Nanami: Yeah. My heart starts pounding, my cheeks go hot, and my head goes blank...
Tomochika Shibuya: Hmm? Could that mean spring has finally come for you?
Haruka Nanami: Spring…?
Tomochika Shibuya: Well, romance is banned by the school, so I think it's fine to not know what I'm talking about. What you don't know won't hurt you!
Haruka Nanami: O-okay...
挨拶だと思うけど・・・・ I think it's just a greeting, but... (+0 Love, +0 Music)
Tomochika Shibuya: Hmm. A greeting, huh? Then… here!
Haruka Nanami: Huh!
Tomo-chan kisses me on the cheek.
Haruka Nanami: W-what are you doing?
Tomochika Shibuya: Greeting you! So? How was it? Is your heart pounding?
Haruka Nanami: I was surprised.
Tomochika Shibuya: I see, just surprise…? Think about what's different between how you felt just now and when Natsuki gives you his greeting kiss.
Tomochika Shibuya: I think you'll figure out something.
Haruka Nanami: O-okay... Thank you.
だ、だってキス・・・だし・・・I-it's a kiss, after all... (+10 Love, +5 Music)
Tomochika Shibuya: Well, anyone would get flustered if they were kissed...
At that moment...
Kuppuru jumps onto my shoulder and kisses me on the cheek.
Tomochika Shibuya: What timing…! This kitty knows exactly what he's doing...
Haruka Nanami: Knows what…?
Tomochika Shibuya: So? How do you feel being kissed by Kuppuru?
Haruka Nanami: How I feel? It's just Kuppuru...
Tomochika Shibuya: … Well, a cat can't compare to Natsuki, I guess. However, one thing they have in common is that they're both uninhibited.
Haruka Nanami: Uninhibited…?
Tomochika Shibuya: Am I wrong?
Haruka Nanami: No... I guess not.
Whenever Shinomiya-san kisses me, my heart beats so fast and I have no idea how I should react...
But I have to get used to it so we can keep being partners… I think.
It'll take time, but I'll do my best...
Mini Game
Ringo Tsukimiya: How are you doing? Have you become used to your one-on-one lessons? I've had you on an assigned song this entire time, but I think you can move to the next step now.
Ringo Tsukimiya: You've improved a lot. Now you must create a song and bring it to completion.
Ringo Tsukimiya: But before that, I'll have you do the last test for the assigned song. Use all the skills you've learned to their full extent and do your best!
Ringo Tsukimiya: Are you ready? Okay, start!
S RANK
Natsuki Shinomiya: Just now, we've become one. Your heartbeat, your breath, your soul... I could feel all of you.
Haruka Nanami: I felt you too, Shinomiya-san… although I can't say I felt it quite as deeply as you do.
It would be nice if we could always weave music together like this.

Leukemia and Lymphoma Awareness Flags!!
This flag was designed by us, as we currently have a family member with Leukemia and wish to bring awareness to this kind of cancer.
color meaning:
#FF2D34: Myeloma
#00DC0E: Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma
#FF8C2E: Leukemia
#D12DFF: Hodgkin Lymphoma
Below is information all about Leukemia and Lymphoma Cancers.
Leukemia and Lymphoma are both cancers that are not associated with a tumor. Lymphomas are cancers that affect the lymph system and start in cells called lymphocytes. Leukemia is a cancer of the early blood-forming tissues, including your bone marrow and lymph system.
There are many types of lymphoma. Some grow and spread slowly and some are more aggressive. There are two main types of Lymphoma:
1. Hodgkin Lymphoma is cancer that starts in the B lymphocytes (B cells) of the lymph system. Your lymph system helps you fight infection and control the fluids in your body.
2. Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma (NHL) is cancer that starts in the lymphocytes anywhere lymph tissue is found:
Lymph nodes
Spleen
Bone marrow
Thymus
Adenoids and tonsils, or
The digestive track.
Leukemia typically involves white blood cells, the cells that are your infection fighters. Leukemia can be divided into categories: fast growing (acute) and slow growing (chronic); and by which white blood cells are affected:
Acute lymphocytic leukemia (ALL)
Acute myelogenous leukemia (AML)
Chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL
Chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML)
A screening test is used to detect cancers in people who may be at higher risk for developing the disease. With leukemia and lymphoma, there are no early detection tests. The best way to find them is to be aware of the symptoms:
Swollen lymph nodes which can appear as a lump in the neck, armpit or groin;
Fever
Night sweats
Weight loss without trying, and
Fatigue.
Leukemia can have similar symptoms but also can include:
Easy bleeding or bruising;
Recurring nosebleeds; and
Bone pain or tenderness
Myeloma is cancer of the plasma cells. Plasma cells are white blood cells that produce disease- and infection-fighting antibodies in your body. Myeloma cells prevent the normal production of antibodies, leaving your body's immune system weakened and susceptible to infection. The multiplication of myeloma cells also interferes with the normal production and function of red and white blood cells. An abnormally high amount of these dysfunctional antibodies in the bloodstream can cause kidney damage. Additionally, the myeloma cells commonly produce substances that cause bone destruction, leading to bone pain and/or fractures.
Myeloma cells are produced in the bone marrow, the soft tissue inside your bones. Sometimes myeloma cells will travel through your blood stream and collect in other bones in your body. Because myeloma frequently occurs at many sites in the bone marrow, it is often referred to as multiple myeloma.
Signs and symptoms of myeloma include the following:
Hypercalcemia (excessive calcium in the blood)
Anemia (shortage or reduced function of red blood cells)
Renal damage (kidney failure)
Susceptibility to infection
Osteoporosis, bone pain, bone swelling, or fracture
High protein levels in the blood and/or urine
Weight loss
In 2022, more than 62,650 people are expected to be diagnosed with leukemia. In addition:
Leukemia accounts for 3.6% of all new cancer cases.
The overall 5-year survival rate for leukemia has more than quadrupled since 1960.
62.7% of leukemia patients survive 5 years or more.
The diagnosis of leukemia requires specific blood tests, including an examination of cells in the blood and marrow.
Treatment and prognosis depend on the type of blood cell affected and whether the leukemia is acute or chronic. Chemotherapy and blood and marrow transplant are often used to treat leukemia.
