I guess a partially collapsed lung is better than totally collapsed?

Yes, although since this is his second collapsed lung, he might need a surgical procedure to prevent it from happening again.

Yikes, Teppy. I x-posted with you. I hope they can get it fixed quickly, and help with the pain. They don't think it's related to his RA?

I’ve read that it can be related to RA, but the doctor here hasn’t mentioned it.

I’m impressed with the hospital cafeteria food — baked tilapia, broccoli, and rice. I was expecting something deep fried or just a bag of chips.

Also, I am so smart for always having migraine meds and Ativan in my purse, because I have a hell of a migraine starting and I’m about 30 seconds away from a total panic attack. Hooray drugs.

Looks like we are getting it.

That's great, Gud! Congrats.

So nice to see Nilly pixels.

I hope that Tim recovers quickly, Steph.

Tim is getting a chest tube jabbed into his side as we speak, to remove the air between the lung and the pleura that’s squishing the lung. I wanted to watch, but they said there’s barely enough room for a gurney and 2 clinicians. Dang.

That's a great-looking house, Gud.

Lovely to see your pixels, Nilly. You have definitely not done anything to offend me.

Fingers crossed all goes smoothly for Tim, Steph. I know those drainage tubes can hurt like the devil, but hopefully they'll be able to stitch him right back up.

I’ve just been waiting in Tim’s empty ER room for an hour, and the migraine isn’t going away, and I would pay someone a million dollars if I could go home.

Well the last thing you want now is a hug but you’ve definitely got my empathy and general fist shaking at the timing of the world and all.

Steph, I'm sure you know this, but just in case you don't remember with all of the other stuff going on, you can take a second dose of Ubrelvy after two hours. (I think it's Ubrelvy you're on).

Steph I hope you can get some relief from the migraine.

I'm sorry Tim had another collapsed lung, I hope that things for him go smoothly and they can prevent it from happening again.

Ugh, that sounds like a cluster, Teppy. I hope you've gotten to go home or take another dose or something, by now.

Nilly!! So good to hear from you :)

It's a beautiful day out, and yesterday was also gorgeous, and I feel guilty that I have not gone and enjoyed any of it. But I have a friend coming to visit later this week, and am crossing fingers it will at least not rain (even though it will definitely be colder)

Timelies all!

Congrats, Gud!

Health~ma to Tim, Steph.

Nilly is wise, as usual.

After the debacle that was Erev Rosh Hashanah, we are going to go back home after dinner tomorrow. We are also going to break the fast on our own. The nanny will be watching Mr. S while we do daytime services at my MIL's house.
