Bev, I'm so very, very glad that StE is breathing and moving. And I'm willing to be more hopeful than Hec -- or at least to say there's no way to know yet, not until he's really responding and interacting again. But the fact that he's breathing and moving and physically responding at all this soon after the accident really is a good sign.
Um, not that I know anything except what I've read in a shitload of Oliver Sacks and other neuro-for-the-layperson books and knowing people who've had catastrophic strokes, but I do know that the longer someone is completely unresponsive and on assisted breathing, the more lengthy and difficult rehab is going to be, and StE is already out of those woods well less than a week after the accident.
But, oh, I'm still all heartaching for all of you, and you're all in my thoughts.
Ok. Thanks, guys. Calming down, and so is he. Maybe he was reacting to me reacting to him :).
Happiest of Birthdays Empress Aimee!
Timelies. It's very good to hear that StE is moving and breathing and responding to things.
JZ, I hope the 3 weeks goes by quickly and peacefully; boringly for the halloweenie, but more fun for you.
We had pancakes for dinner last night. I let Kara choose.
Happy birthday, Empress! May it be frabjous!
So good to see Bev's font, and with goodish news. That sounds like progress, keep-getting-better~ma for StE.
Mmm, pancakes. That sounds good.
Loved the photo of Toto under the table. Currently, Pookah's favorite spot seems to be jumping in the childrens' faces. Today they've decided they're afraid of him. I'll take them out and run them all around the back yard in a bit and that will help settle them all down.
Grr!
Just found out that the AC fix will be about $500. There was no consultation on ordering the TWO FUCKING HUNDRED DOLLAR PART, no explanation of what this was costing us the FOUR times we brought this in, no approval given to charge us ~$500. What the fucking fuck?
Also, the car has turned 100K miles, and shit's going to start breaking like nobody's business (it's a Ford Escort) and so we have a lovely $500 AC fix and we will probably use it for 6 weeks and the chances are good that we might even have another car next summer! ARGH! Fucking fuck. I hate throwing money away. FUCK.
sj! Nice to see you this morning. I have work to do, tell me to go do it.
{{Nora}}} I'm sorry.
