"Because we're not grown-ups, and you can't predict the future."

[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.

I love waking up to Ryan stories. Keep being adorable kid.
ltc and I are on our own today. I've managed to have tea and breakfast before noon. Go me?
You got this, sj!
Thanks for the vote of confidence, Laura.
Awww, I wish it were easier to make all the changes and adjustments. The rhythm will get smoother. All ltc really needs is your love, and clearly she has that in abundance. Take time for yourself when she is resting.
I will, if I can get her to rest today. The doctor put her on antibiotics as a preventative measure for a uti while we try to figure out the kidney thing, and I think they're making her gassy. So, she's fussy and so far no napping.
Take time for yourself when she is resting.
Laura is wise. You and ltc will get a routine going.
She's asleep! Taking buffista advice and napping now.
I 'm doing well in recovering from my operation. But it is a damn good thing I'm assertive. They tried to send me home without adequate training in changing my catheter bag, and it took major fighting and stubborness to get it. First there was an attempt to tell me I could "practice at home". Then when I insisted I needed to know how to do it before I could "practice" an attempt to threaten me with keeping me as in-patient since I was "too disabled to change the bag myself". But I kept insisting that I could indeed take change the bag myself if someone would simply be patient enough to show me at my pace rather than at the pace your average bear can learn this - people without my difficulties in seeing and without various neurological disabilities that slow my mastery of the physical world. Fortunately, a second nurse stepped up and said he had .lots of patience, which indeed he did. 20 minutes of training rather than five and I was fine. I posted at greater length about this on facebook, but that is the short version for those who can't access face book. The longer post is here [link] . It is public so you can access it without friending or following me if that is your choice. Incidentally most patience who are given instructions for self-care upon discharge do not understand those instructions - about 80%. [link] And no, it is not just language or literacy difficulties. That statistic stands among well educated English speaking professionals in the USA.
