Every time I have to tweak mine, which is fortunately not often and not drastic, husband can't get over the fact that sometimes meds just stop working, and there's no way to figure out what will work besides trial and error.
Mal: So we run. Nandi: I understand, Captain Reynolds. You have your people to think of, same as me. And this ain't your fight. Mal: Don't believe you do understand, Nandi. I said 'we run'. We.

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'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Why isn't everyone pelting me with JOY, dammit? - Zenkitty
Sitting in Mom's hospital room, waiting for test results. She seemed like she was doing some better, then when I came in tonight, she wasn't talking, like at all. I was chalking it up to her being tired, but then the nurses and Drs started kinda freaking out, so I started freaking out. It looks like a stroke, but with the amount of blood thinners she's on, it seems unlikely. They've ruled out heart attack, but still waiting to hear whether it might be a brain bleed. A couple of friends are on the way to wait with me now.

Because books.
Oh, Epic. Wishing you strength and calm and friends, soon. Remember to take care of yourself, too, when you can.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love
Sending you love and strength, Epic. I hope your friends get there soon.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear
Oh, Epic. I'll be thinking about you.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
Oh, Epic, much love and ~ma for you and your mom.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
I'm so sorry, Epic! Much love and best wishes to you and your mom. I hope they'll find an easy answer.

No easy answer, unfortunately. Not a major heart attack, possibly a minor heart incident. No brain bleed on the CT, they can't do an MRI, but the kind of strokes an MRI would show are unlikely. So they're adjusting meds to try to calm her heart and lower her heart enzymes, and allowing her blood pressure to rise a bit to make sure there's sufficient flow to her brain. They seem to be bewildered about why she's not able to talk. So now I'm just in wait and see mode apparently. We left when she finally got to sleep. Praying for good news tomorrow.

Our wings are not tired.
Oh Epic, I am sorry. So glad you have friends who could come and be physically present with you. I hope for good news tomorrow (today).

I look more rad than Lutheranism
Epic, I hope your mom is doing better today. Please keep us updated.
