Viruses of all types = no fun!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Bacteria can also be no fun!

Now I'm scared -- for most of last winter, at least one person in my department was out sick, and I definitely got my share of it.

Because books.

I just finished antibiotics about ten days ago, and I feel like shit. Totally congested, using my inhaler all the time, coughing. I think it's just permanent.

S. and I just watched the last Harry Potter, and I'm not even sure I'm done crying yet, a half hour later.

Had you seen HP7.2 before, Amy?

True bacteria is also no fun (unless it is, like in cheese).

Grace has another surgery in 3ish weeks and I'd like to keep her healthy enough for it.

My right eyebrow aches. It is so weird.

Also weird: [link] And right now, Pumpkin is making odd little noises in her sleep. As if she's eating (which given her food-whoreness, likely her dreams encompass.) And snoring. She snores. She plopped down after Lokes was asleep, he opened one eye and conked back out. She's in a kitten-passed-out state now.

No, we hadn't, Kat. So good. I want to watch it again tomorrow.

Snoring cats are adorable. Switch snores sometimes, when he's not groaning like a little old man.

Are the surgeries helping what they're supposed to, Kat> And that's great news about the passy-muir thing.

She's just such a wee skinny thing, the deep snoring is hilarious.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.

Jeeves snores sometimes. It's a squeaky sound that sounds like something out of a cartoon. Utterly adorable.

Sara, no guilt. It was just a comment. She was pretty gunky today and smelled funny (you can actually smell an infection in Grace before it goes full blown). I think I need to give her some sinupret.

Amy, they are, I think. She's gone down in trache size and she's breathing more through her mouth. Last surgery, they didn't do any laser-ing at all (I'm not sure if that was because they had to surgically remove a granuloma or if she didn't need it).

Wearing the PMV means she's not relying on her trache much to breathe. From adults I know who are trached, a PMV feels like breathing through a straw if you have to rely on it for your only airway access. For people who are breathing more from all available sources, it's not as panic-inducing.

I dunno what it means, long term, but it's a positive movement.

Tomorrow I have to go to UCLA for a field trip. On a sunday. ugh.
