Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

In the PICU, you either use a bed pan or you can use the toilet. Which is in a cabinet under a table.

The adult ICU is similar. I had to beg and plead for them to let me off all the monitors so I could walk to a room with a non-transparent door to take a shit. it's not funny at all, Grace, but I'll allow you this one since you look so happy.

Can I send that picture to Colin, Kat?

Msbelle, I hope Oz was just missing you. sorry about cleanup.

Saw my doc today about the jaw pain. Her assessment is trigeminal neuralgia - basically nerve pain. So I am going to try Lyrica which won't provide any immediate relief, it has to build up. So tired of being in pain. So tired of being tired.

I'm sorry the problem doesn't have a more immediate solution, SuziQ.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Ouch, Ginger -- that sounds like a lot of adding insult to injury! I hope the rest of the day is better.

And I hope the Lyrica helps, Suzi.

I had to beg and plead for them to let me off all the monitors so I could walk to a room with a non-transparent door to take a shit.

When my father had a roommate at the hospital the other day (most of the time he was alone), the guy was super riled up when I got there, and it turned out, it was because he wanted to go to the bathroom, but they were concerned about him walking and he had a diaper on. Eventually they did let him get up, and everything went more smoothly from there.

Hooray to Grace.

Msbelle, my cat Pico frequently got sick when I went away. I am hoping that is just this for Oz.

I've been looking at Air BnB for Dublin in the fall. I couldn't stay in the city's narrowest house. I just wish there were reviews for it. [link]

Ann, that's a ferret.

Arthur is back in the hospital. His kidney values were getting worse, and the vets fear either infection or rejection. It looks like we caught it early -- kidney values aren't even that bad. But it's something we don't need at the moment.

Aw, hoping for the best for Arthur, Fred.

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

Oh, no. Good health ~ma for Arthur!

ita, yes, you can send the picture on to Colin.

Like everything in our world with G, decannulation is not as simple as you would think. We'll have to come back in 2 weeks for ANOTHER surgery. And then 4 weeks. And then a few weeks after that.

Right now she has a big GAPING hole in her neck that isn't like to close for, oh the estimates are, a few months.

WHAT?!? It's worse with a bandaid on it, but I swear, when she gets home, we are bandaiding each day. CRAZY.
