Consuela, that's unconscionable. Fuck.
But? There's always a but. When this is over, can we have a big 'but' moratorium?

I have put on the Holiday music. Still no tree or decorations, but I think I am getting close.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
OMG, Consuela!
I arrived home to a message that my mom had another ER visit last night. The stomach med she's getting (after her bout with bleeding ulcers) has been causing diarrhea and she's become weak enough that she passed out last night. They sent her home after some IV fluids and some potassium. Today her doc switched her stomach med, but the problem is unlikely to go away quickly.
Any ideas on easily digestible foods with high nutrient content? I suspect I'll be trying to find things that work for her when I get there next week.
I probably also need to re-think parental gifts this time. I usually do tickets to a show of some sort, but she's understandably not wanting to go out much. What tablets are good for newspaper subscriptions?

Ensure is my first thought.

Yikes, aurelia. I'd vote for bananas, myself. Dunno about the tablet question, though.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Holy shit, Consuela. I'm glad you figured it out, anyway.
Oh jeez, aurelia. Tickets for something later in the year might still be nice, if that's your routine -- kind of a downpayment on the idea that she'll be better later. And Ensure was my thought, too, although starting with BRAT may be the way to go.
We have pretty pretty snow here, which is supposed to turn to rain later.

Parents! Kids! Here I am, stuck in the middle with you!
I can imagine the rage, Consuela! It is a wonderful thing that his PCP was advised and read the report before it went on much longer. I hope his system is free of side effects quickly.
aurelia, eggs, yogurt, brown rice, and the ensure, bananas and avocado mentioned all good options.
DH and I both got mani/pedi love from his sister's nail salon last night. She did a super cute holiday job with my nails. I'll post a pic on FB later if she didn't.

Everything is encased in ice. Good thing I'm not going anywhere for a couple hours.

Eeep, be careful sarameg. I recommend against the whole slip and fall thing.
