Oh Nora, how scary! Healthy vibes to Tom and calming vibes to you.
Scrappy, I wish I knew what to say. Nothing ever seems adequate in circumstances like these.
Cass, go you with productivity! Unpacking is so damned hard.
meara, I'm sorry your job is being so annoying.
That sounds completely achievable. And remember, she's here to visit. You don't have to win any housekeeping awards, just make things comfortable.
Thanks, it was. I just finished, and now I'm going to go crawl into bed to try to get at least 6 good hours of sleep before my alarm goes off. Love you people. Truly. Having a safe place to go when I'm alone and freaking out is such a gift.
Called ambulance. Still in.front of house.
Scrappy, meant to give -ma, and hope its super slow growing (I know there have been some studies that show that if you autopsy people who die of other things, lots of them have cancer that hadn't grown).
Nora, I hope it's a false alarm and everyone is feeling relieved and foolish now! Two hospital dramas in a couple days is two too many!
We are at the er. They are concerned it's a collapsed lung.
I don't even.
Must be that kind of night. I woke up a little bit ago because my eczema was burning so bad. I have my cortisone on, waiting for it to dry to put on my prescription cream stuff. I also took a Benadryl.
I wonder if the hand solution I used at the shooting range today to get the gunpowder residue off my hands caused it? Or the giant ball of stress and upheaval in my life right now.
Either way, can I just say, fuck fuck fuckity fuck fuck. It itches as bad as my shoulder hurt when I dislocated it.
Oh Nora ... {{{{hugs}}}} I hope the ER is quick to figure it out and efficient and effective care to fix it. So much love to you two. Also, maybe take Tom's bike away until he knows how to handle it?
And Pix - that shit would freak me right the hell out, too. Like, leave all my shit behind and go live elsewhere freak me out. Fucking hate rats and mice.
Scrappy - I wish your mom much pep and livelihood. She has so much love and support from you and your family and that is awesome.
They are concerned it's a collapsed lung.
I am very glad that you were able to take Tom in for professional care and I hope he's feeling better soon. And you. So much stress.
I wonder if the hand solution I used at the shooting range today to get the gunpowder residue off my hands caused it? Or the giant ball of stress and upheaval in my life right now.
Chemicals and stress are massive contributors to my eczema. I hope you get relief from the meds.
Nora, please check-in when you can again. Worried.
Ok, not as dire. The doctor got several xrays done, the lungs are ok. He does have 2 broken ribs though. The theory is that the broken ribs are causing irregular breathing which can lead to infection/pneumonia etc.
They just pumped him full of dilaudid and he's got an abutrol nebulizer breathing treatment going now. I think he'll be discharged in the next hour or so.
Thanks for being here everyone. It helped me keep my shit together, I tell you what.
