Rehab is really hard - the transition of information is so shoddy and the level of care a bigger change than you expect, even at a good quality facility. We managed my dad’s care in hosp and rehab stints from 75 or 100 miles away and it was brutally complicated and exhausting. I can’t imagine how hard it is from across country. But I think you are right that being there is critical, both to establish the right understanding and level of care but also to impress upon the facility that your dad has people who are paying attention. You have my deepest sympathy.
These girls have the most beautiful dresses. And so do I -- how about that?

Late getting to the board today, but still in time to send Happy Birthday wishes to Susan W! I do hope that you are being spoiled today and that the year to come is filled with love and laughter.
(will go back and catch up in a bit)

Husband and I both spent the night vomiting, so 2023 and 2024 can go fuck themselves right now.
Dana, I literally feel your pain. The best comfort I have is: if it's the same thing we had, it doesn't last too long.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
Happy New Year!
Happy birthday Susan W!

Happy birthday, Susan!
Health~ma to those that need it.
Pix, managing my dad’s care from a 90 minute drive away was challenging. Trying to do so from across the country seems really hard.
I had a long new year’s brunch with some friends, and then spent the rest of the day de-Yule-ifying the apartment. Work starts up again tomorrow, and I work from home. So it’ll be good to have stuff done instead of looking at to-dos every time I raise my head from my laptop.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
I haven’t sent any cards, either. I just move them around from room to room, where they sit, cheery and accusing.

Happy New Year, buffistas. May it be much better than the one before it.
Pix, ooooof. That's so difficult, especially when it's all on you, and I'm sorry. Continued ~ma to you and your family.

So there's more drooping on one side of his face today. The nurse thinks he may have had a stroke. He may be going back to the hospital

I'm sorry, Pix. It sounds like the hospital is a better place right now.

Pix, I'm so sorry.
So there's this person I don't like, and I want to run a smear campaign against them. Does anyone know who at the NYT I should contact to get the ball rolling?
