Not actually a dislocated elbow! (X-rays just showed a fucked-up joint.) Just extreme, extreme pain from bad arthritis in that joint. I have never seen him in pain like that. It was scary.

So he got a shot of dilaudid and steroids, and has an Rx for Percocet and more steroids, and a referral to an orthopedic doctor. He's not discharged yet, but soon. Hopefully we'll be in bed by 3:30 a.m.

Okay, bed by 3:40 is pretty close. What a night!

Health~ma to Tim!

Hoping Steph and Tim both get a good night's sleep~ma

Oh man, Steph! I'm sorry for both of you!

Sorry, Steph!

Bon voyage, Jess!

Occasionally, while I walking to work, I get to see Peter Dinklage taking his daughter to the fancy private school in my neighborhood. I hope he realizes the hoodie he wears does much to disguise him.

Adios, Jess, have fun!

Eta you all pretend he's incognito, though, right Tom? This is what I have been led to believe is the convention.

OF COURSE we do. This is NYC, not some podunk town.

Oh no! I hope Tim's pain level is better today.

I'm excited for Jess being in Cuba. I'd love to take a trip there. My DIL has family there, but I am not sure how complicated it would be to connect. So Jess, have a blast, enjoy the cuisine, and take pictures!

Speaking of islands in my back yard, so upset for the poor people of Puerto Rico. They really didn't need more destruction.

Ugh Steph that sounds rough and a long night. My dad's pain is mostly arthritis at this point (back and neck) and they gave him an injection on Monday to hopefully ease the pain.

Mac registered for classes! on his own! he was so late in doing so that he did not get what we had planned on, or maybe his friends had talked him into changing that anyway. Who knows? But he is registered for 2 classes and I can pay the bill and get reimbursement for this month's rent!
