Or any trump news, really.

Glad you had that appointment, at least, ND. Next let's get you some money in the bank.

Thank Jeebus! Our coordinator finessed it to start your infusion earlier today and keep us on time for our flight out on Sunday.

Oh, phew!

I'm marching with a band at Pride tomorrow, and then I'm going to my church's table, so I'm thinking I'll just wear my church t-shirt the whole time. I figure that's more a important message than just something rainbow-y?

Yes, I like that idea.

Good that you're doc is recognizing your need, ND, but awful the stressors causing it.

I'm glad the scheduler got you sorted right, Hec. Geez, man.

You are not alone! Something about it just makes me cringe.

Yes! I am in good company, then.

Oof. I have no idea how my sister has been doing it just physically getting mom moved around—she can barely mumble a word or two and has no strength in her at all—can barely move her arms, and can’t sit up on her own. Meanwhile the cancer doc, when my sister called earlier today asking if the appointment Monday could be telemedicine they said no it had to be in person. We will likely cancel as there’s probably not anything they can tell us and I’m not sure how we’d even get her there. What a shitshow.

My brothers flight got canceled so now he’s coming tomorrow, we are wondering if she’s just waiting on that.

Oh, meara, I'm so sorry. It's so hard, but it's good that you're there.

Damn, meara, that sucks so much.

Meara, I'm so sorry. That's so hard and awful and I just wish I knew what to say besides I'm thinking about you.

----- Unrelatedly, it's 2 a.m., and I'm WIDE awake for no good reason. I'm pretty sure it's the Excederin I took to deal with my headache. I knew when I took it that it was too late in the day and I'd regret it, but nothing else works for me when I have one of those headaches. I don't have to get up in the morning technically, but pets will demand to go out and be fed at 6:30/7, so it's going to be a short night of sleep.

I'm so sorry meara, that sounds impossibly hard.

And this summer is her bucket list trip of driving up through the US into Canada and the Yukon Territory up to the Arctic Circle (she crossed into the Arctic Circle on Tuesday) so she can jump in the Arctic Ocean.

This must be a Cincinnati thing because it sounds exactly like something my grandfather would have done. (He would have jumped in naked)

Thinking of you and your family, meara.
