No bloodwork for me! I can't drive myself because it's too painful to sit. I probably should have realized this, but I guess I didn't want to think about it. Now I'm going to have to ask my poor husband to miss more work.
Hands! Hands in new places!

Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Laura, that's awesome.
Dana, I'm sorry.
Zen, I hope you have easy trip home. I'm glad the insurance company is taking good care of you.
I think ltc has inherited her daddy's appetite. She asked for more dinner twice last night. And more breakfast three times, although I cut her off at three portions of oatmeal. And then still asked for seconds at lunch. I'm amazed.

It looks like the insurance company bought us *3* first class tickets.
Do you have a third person with you? Or you, your sister, and your leg?

Sounds like a growth spurt is on its way. Is she sleeping more than normal? With my kids that was usually the next step and then grow, grow, grow.
Work is busy but I've hit brain melt and an taking an internet break to see if that helps. Kinda like a brain reset.

Ugh, I remember how shitty that is. I'm glad the surgery was scheduled so quickly so that you don't have to deal with this pain for much longer.

I don't know if anyone is good at this loss of independence, but I'm definitely not happy with it. Pretty much the only thing I can do is either lie on the couch or lie on the bed. (Actually, I guess I'm pretty good with that part.)
But needing my husband to get me things, to do all of the chores, to run the errands -- it's getting really old. For him too, I'm sure.

It could definitely be a growth spurt. She did the similar thing a couple weeks ago too. She'll often go a couple days without eating much and then make up for it. I try not to make a big deal of it either way. Today was just an extreme example.

Our wings are not tired.
Laura, that sounds very cool! And how flattering that he was pretty much recruited.
It is! I am really proud of him. When your 22 year old son's GF's parents say he is the son they never had and what that hoped for in a son-in-law, and her boss wants to hire him, he is doing something right. Lots of things. He is quite a good guy.
Zen, I hope you have easy trip home. I'm glad the insurance company is taking good care of you.
Seriously! The last thing you need is battles and it is a relief to hear that the trip home is being as effortless as possible.

Growth spurts are pretty amazing. It is stunning how much growing children can consume.
But needing my husband to get me things, to do all of the chores, to run the errands -- it's getting really old. For him too, I'm sure.
I'm sorry it is so frustrating, Dana. Remember that you would do for him if the situation were reversed. I hope this is all behind you soon. Independence is wonderful, but simply not always possible.

Ugh. Just checked to see if the wheelchair battery was delivered yet, and there was a FedEx tag on the door saying that they'd attempted delivery half an hour ago and no one was home. I've been here the whole time, and didn't hear anyone knock. I tried calling FedEx, and ended up getting connected to a line where I could hear background noise, but no one was actually on the line. So I gave up and went to the website and said for it to be delivered to a local FedEx location, and I'll pick it up there. It didn't tell me when it would be delivered there.

I'll be able to pick up the battery on Monday. Argh. I'd wanted to be able to use the chair this weekend.
