Wonderful News from Cleveland and a New Career Chapter (May 28, 2025)

Hello everyone,

I had my appointments at the Cleveland Clinic yesterday, and I’m pleased to share that the doctors are very happy with my progress. My kidney function has improved significantly—so much so that my nephrologist now recommends follow-up only once a year, unless any issues arise. My blood work results were excellent, and the cardiology team is also pleased with my heart function. No evidence of blockages or ischemia.

Due to recurring staph infections, cardiology also checked my immunoglobulin levels to investigate any underlying causes. I’ve been on antibiotics since February and will continue taking them through July as part of my treatment plan. I’m grateful for the medical team’s diligence and care.

Thank you all for your continued thoughts and prayers.

In other news, I recently began a new full-time position as a Payroll Specialist with the same employer I was with previously. While transitioning from my former role in the kitchen has been an adjustment, my colleagues have made the experience a smooth one. They even welcomed me with a thoughtful gift basket, which I greatly appreciated.

That’s all for now—thank you again for your support.

Payton
