More lung~ma for Tim! I'm glad he's able to get the X-rays as needed, and I hope you get to worry less soon and his cough clears up

Here's hoping Tim's lung continues to improve!

Our wings are not tired.

Of course you will worry, Teppy. That is natural, but he clearly has good medical care and they are on top of it. Spouses! (kinda like Parents! or Kids! only worse)

I came across a link to this. I love Rhiannon Giddons and this hit a sweet spot for me.

That was quite awesome. I had to share it on the FB to easily go watch it again.

Hey. New board.

I don't do pie for breakfast much but whenever I have extra pumpkin pie FILLING I bake it in a little baking dish and that stuff cold out of the fridge is REALLLY good mixed into oatmeal.

Oof, the fact that it's dry cough and lung stuff must be super extra stressful, Tep. I'm sorry. I'm glad he's on top of getting it looked at and stuff though. (Wow, it really is easy to type "lunch" when you mean to type "lung.")

I have finally fixed the clusterjam that resulted in my not being able to take my Zoloft for the past... uh, week maybe? Hopefully that will get back to working soon. I am stupidly pleased with myself for getting that taken care of - phone calls back and forth to the pharmacy, insurance co, and telehealth doctors - mostly because the burden of not sobbing all day seemed to be the limit of what I could possibly accomplish.

And through all this I was able to get two articles written and submitted.

I am so, so tired right now though.

You are amazing, Nora! Gold stars on gold stars! And hooray Zoloft!

Not cool to have that stress on top of the world stress.

Someone did ask why we are doing this now and the answer was so it gets done, because otherwise it will just never happen, which is probably true, but still.

Ugh, -t. "Like heart surgery," is not a comforting phrase.

Continued lung vibes to Tim.

I am currently sitting outside the ER while DP is in getting assessed for things that might be causing his sudden onset edema this morning (feet and ankles). Called doc, saw doc, doc sent us to ER for scans to rule out a bunch of stuff. He was not short of breath, which is good. I can't go in, of course.

He's keeping me posted.

Well, that doesn't sound like the best day ever. I hope the ER are able to help!

Thank you -- he is resting comfortably and sent me home. Is keeping me posted but no results yet, of course.
