Friday would work fabulously. School starts next week, so lunches will be out for a while.
Well, a gathering is brie, mellow song stylings; shindig, dip, less mellow song stylings, perhaps a large amount of malt beverage, and hootenanny, well, it's chock full of hoot, just a little bit of nanny.

Sleeping Mal is just adorable. And Schooling The Duck Mal is really funny (also adorable).
I know I haven't mentioned Big!Boss for a while, mostly because he's been holding steady, and gradually improving in tiny increments. He's been in a long-term rehab facility, still having dialysis 3 times a week, and physical therapy twice a day, and he's progressed to being able to walk across a room with the aid of a cane. That news just made everyone here giddy. He does, however, have liver cirrhosis, but they're hoping it can be reversed. Still, his physical therapy progress is awesome.
This morning we got an e-mail that he was admitted to the hospital over the weekend b/c he was having chest pains -- apparently from a blood clot in his lungs. He's getting medication to break up the clot, but -- it's just scary to me. He's a tough coot, no doubt about it -- he's 73 and survived the damn flesh-eating bacteria, which isn't common for elderly folk. But I just wonder how much more stress his body can take.
Also, my grandma died b/c of a blood clot in her lung, so I'm extra worried.
Bah.

Oh, Steph. That's really scary. Thoughts and prayers going out to Big!Boss and you.

Goodness. Are the liver and kidney problems due to that same infection? Best wishes to him.

Yes, mostly b/c his body was overwhelmed by the infection and subsequent amputation. Basically, in the face of such a toxic infection, his kidneys and liver shut down. Getting them going again, it seems, isn't an easy task.

Oh, ugh. That just seems so unfair. I hadn't really thought about systemic damage in addition to the necrosis and amputation.

Oh, man. Poor Big!Boss. My thoughts are with him.

Many prayers for your Big Boss, Teppy.
