Sean - I'm nearby-ish. (Not to steal javachik's thunder, though.) Can I bring you anything? Actually - I know Specialty's will deliver to CPMC. Can we send you anything?

Spike's Bitches 38: Well, This Is Just...Neat.
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.
My confusion, Sean.
Suzi, you might want to get a citation -- something written for Sean and S to point the social worker to.
They've brought me a guest tray (mmmmm, gross hospital food....), so I'm good for now, but.....
Gawd, it's so rough. I want to be "self reliant, I need no help" guy, but I'm also thinking that's really stupid, and I need to let that go. I guess it just feels like if I let that go, it will be harder to be strong for S. But it's still stupid and I still need to let it go.
I just don't know what help to ask for.
Still, if javachick, or any of the rest of you need to feel generous, I can't deprive you of that. Call incoming, java.
Fred Pete - I'm looking, but the Medi-Cal site bites at providing information. I'm not seeing anything saying the anti-rejection meds are NOT covered, but I'm also not seeing anything saying they are.
I did find a link to their formulary, so when I get home I'll get a list of mom's anti-rejection meds and see if they are on the list.
if I let that go, it will be harder to be strong for S.
Think of it this way: when your basic needs are met, you will be stronger for S.
I guess it just feels like if I let that go, it will be harder to be strong for S.
(Inevitable x-post, I just know it)
Pumpkin, if you're not taking care of yourself, it's hard to be strong for other people.
Sean, think of it as adding our support to the strength you already have. You are holding up amazingly well, and deciding to accept help is very very smart.
I just don't know what help to ask for.
Where are you staying? Is that working out?
Do you want company in the hospital?
Do you want someone to go have a drink/meal with just to get away for a bit?
Do you want homecooked food?

I suspect the cafeteria people have seen plenty of meltdowns, Sean. That's where I usually go to meltdown away from my loved ones.
It would be so great if Suzi's mom can help talk y'all through this. The medical system in this country is completely broken. I wish there was more I could do from the other side of the country.
In the much less pressing "I have a loose tooth" news, I saw the dentist and she says she doesn't want to pull the crown out and recement it until after the holidays because if there is something broken, there wouldn't be any crown-repairing people or gum surgeons around. So I get to spend the next two weeks chewing with the left side of my mouth.
