My friends did come out to be with us on Monday night (my BFF and her parents, who are friends with Mom), and BFF came out for a bit last night, so that was nice.
And thanks for asking, I'm glad you have my back too.

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

Sundowning is definitely a thing, so it's normal for her to lose focus and wobble a little in the evening. I hope she continues to improve, Epic.
Good to hear about the competent infectious disease doc. It makes a big difference to have confidence in the health care provider. Thinking of you often, Epic. Many of us have cared for our parents and understand the struggle. Sending strength and wishes for energy to get through the long emotionally exhausting days.
Hope the meds work well and soon for you, Teppy. I've known others that had side effects for just the first few days on a new med.
As for my troublesome stomach issues, I have an appointment with a surgeon for October 2. We'll see what happens.
I hope it's a solution for you, Tep. This has gone on far too long already.
I don't want surgery, but, yanno, if it would help the pain and nausea, I'll do it.
Honestly, you've gone through much more intense surgery. My gallbladder lapro eviction, I was out walking 3 miles 5-6 days later (because I was going insane with inactivity.) I had no other surgery to compare it too, but even so found it pretty easy. I mean, worst part for me was the swimming ban for a month, not the few days of really having to strategize getting out of bed (and keeping Loki off me.)
I hope it is the fix you need. And if it isn't, hey, you'll avoid a full blown gallbladder attack. Which was a gajilliion times worse than the recovery.
Steph I hope the itchiness goes away soon.
Epic lots of health~ma to your mom
I get the crazy -bad itching sometimes, Teppy, and I put cold on it--either a cold washcloth or if it's my feet and lower legs which seem to get it the worst, I just stick them under the tub faucet with water as cold as I can stand for a few minutes and that seems to stop it altogether. I usually HATE doing anything cold, but it actually feels good in this instance.
I hate, hate, hate feeling itchy, but this has made it manageable.
I09 let me know that today is the 15th anniversary of Firefly's debut on Fox.
