Here's hoping it's a nothing-to-worry-about aftereffect and not anything to be concerned about, Steph.
Mom and I got to Las Vegas okay if flustered, found a very helpful cabbie to get us to the resort, loafed around the grounds and the pool yesterday and met family for a nice breakfast and dinner. In a few we're headed off to Red Rock Canyon for the wedding ceremony. Fingers crossed she feels rested and recovered enough to fully enjoy the occasion.
Everything checked out okay, and now we’re waiting for the discharge papers and to get his IV out.
I, too, like to zhuhz it up a bit with some cardamom. I once put cardamom in some cream cheese icing of a carrot cake (main icing, white and card-free, decorations, light brown and cardy) and I'm never. going. back.
Glad that Tim came through things well and that you are getting ready to take him home.
Timelies! Hugs to all who need them. (except Teppy who does not need a hug, but just love sent through the air)
Tim’s sleeping in bed pretty comfortably, at least right now, and he’s full of meds, with his alarm set for more pain meds in an hour. Smart to set an alarm to stay on top of pain control.
I really fucking hate being a caretaker, but that’s my issue, and I have my therapist to talk that out. I love Tim more than I dislike being a caretaker, so I can feel my feeling of dislike without expressing it to him, and still treat him with love and care.

pretty
sure your therapist is going to give you a Gold Star for that.
Gold stars indeed. I used to have the nurturing caretaker gene, but I think I used it all up or something because I don't have it anymore. I do hope his recovery is going well.
Looks like we are on for a close on the 25th for the condo. I'm trying to get DH my color choices and such all together so he can do as much as possible before I get there with the animals.
Tim's been napping for most of the day, thanks to his meds.* This means I'm actually getting some work done. So my caretaking today consists of making sure he takes his meds on time and gets some food in him. Today's big goal is a shower. It's a gorgeous fall day again and it would be nice for him to sit on the porch, but he desperately needs sleep. There will be other nice fall days for the porch.
*The hospital pharmacy automatically includes a Narcan prescription when a patient has an opioid prescription at discharge, which makes sense now that I think about it.
