I’m so sorry, Matt
Spike? It's you. It's really you! My therapist thought I was holding on to false hope, but…I knew you'd come back. You're like…you're like Gandalf the White, resurrected from the pit of the Balrog, more beautiful than ever. Oh…he's alive Frodo. He's alive.

Timelies all!
Went to visit Mr. S this afternoon. He seemed okay, though he got bored quickly. Then we went to visit with friends who live relatively close to the center, and ended up going out to dinner with them.

Thrive to spite them
I'm sorry for your loss Matt.
Bev- this is just the consultation not the actual colonoscopy. For that I will be taking the day off, and probably the day before and after as well.

Due to family history I've had at least 5, maybe 6 colonoscopies already--my doctor currently has me on an every 3 years cycle. I don't generally take the day before off, but you definitely want the full day of at least. If you haven't already scheduled it, I recommend no later than mid-morning, and I also try to schedule for a Friday whenever possible.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Feeling good that my first available colonoscopy appointment was 3pm on Monday July 31.

Today was pretty much entirely taken up by my cousin's funeral. Mom, one aunt, and I went together and were the only members of the extended family on our side able to attend due to the short notice and us being local. (My cousin was a former funeral director, so apparently the arrangements had been pre-planned and were just waiting for the trigger—he was buried with haste usually only seen in cases of suspicious death with survivors eager for inheritance!) My cousin's son gave a sweet eulogy as part of the service and was more composed than I would have been at speaking in public even without the extenuating circumstances. I suspect a future in the clergy for him. (Also he has a clone-like resemblance to his dad in his mid teens; we all had a laugh during the service when Chuck's friend and former boss said there'd never be anyone quite like him and his widow raised her arm over the son's head to point at him.)

Our wings are not tired.
Went to visit Mr. S this afternoon. He seemed okay, though he got bored quickly.
Did you get any feedback on how he has been coping with the change?

That's nice. I hope it brings her comfort.
I have family visiting. We went to the beach for sunrise. It is great having them here.

Matt, I'm so sorry for your loss.
I hope Mr S is doing well in his new environment.
ltc is finally back at school, but she's probably going to have a snow day tomorrow. So, that's fun. ION, that is probably not actual news to anyone here, therapy is hard.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe
ION, that is probably not actual news to anyone here, therapy is hard.
I always recommend a treat afterwards when therapy is hard. (Where "treat" can be watching mindless TV, a really good cup of coffee, a nap, a bowl of ice cream, a pedicure, or really any dang thing that says "treat" to you.)
