Can I have some kidney~ma for ltc? One of her kidneys isn't draining properly and we have to go for a test on Monday to figure out if there is a physical cause. Her pediatrician said it is probably nothing to worry about, but I'm still worried.

Of course you are worried, sj. Comes with the new job. I would try and trust the pediatrician on this since she has more experience with such things. {{hugs}}

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift

All the ~ma you need, sj.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Tons of love ~ma and support for all those coping with aging parents.

Echoing this, loudly. It's so hard. I've been through it with my mom, and probably will again with my much-older sister, and I'm trying to help my BFF get through it with her mom now. You can develop coping strategies, but in the end, it's just mortality, and it fucking bites, for everyone.

And another ton of health~ma for ltc! But she won't need it, will she, because it's nothing to worry about.

Poor ltc. But these new releases always have a few bugs in them, a few or code updates and she'll be fine.

Ann, that's a ferret.

All ~ma to ltc and family.

The last decade or so she has gently taught my step-dad to cook, do laundry, and other stuff. She still takes care of the bills, but I can see she is involving him more there too. She probably hasn't driven in 20 years, but still renews her license! Of course it isn't easy to watch her short term memory fall away and her increasing physical challenges, but it is a whole lot easier than a sudden deterioration.

This type of transition is what was happening with my parents as mom got more and more incapacitated and Dad was taking over more of the household duties, and then he got his cancer diagnosis and was gone a month later. He wasn't the one that was supposed to go first, alas, that's the way it goes sometimes.

I still miss him every day.

sj, lots of ~ma to ltc.

I'm sorry, Drew.

Kidney~ma for ltc.
