Thanks, y'all.

I'm, uh, having fun dealing with different levels of risk tolerance while visiting my family.

There was that glimmer of hope for a bit that we might have a normal summer. My anger level is almost as high as my doctors. They are outright pissed. It was one thing for them to deal with it last summer when there wasn't a way to be safe. Now they are exhausted and dreading another big surge.

I'm sorry that you have to deal with this, shrift.

Best luck, Scrappy. And shrift. And Sheryl.

Hi!! First of all, thank you so much for the healing vibes, prayers, light, and love - I've been feeling it and it's helped as it always has for the past 20-some years.

Also, thank you for the donations and gifts. It was incredible to have the resources to order a bunch of things I needed to get for home to make things easier (wedge for my bed, journal and BPC for home/car, shower accessories, etc).

I got home yesterday and it's been a fantastic 36 hours in my own house, with my own shit, and sleeping with no vitals checks every two hours.

I've been EXCEPTIONALLY LUCKY to have amazing medical professionals, friends, family ... everything over the past week ... that have come out to help and finish mowing and take care of the animals and cutting up fruit and taking my car to the tire place.

Prognosis is good; Two AVM evacuated about a week apart. Seems circumstantial with a little bit of heredity thrown in. I've been over a week without nicotine and have cut down on a lot of caffeine. Taking my BP every 4-6 hours and keeping photos of each reading for my many, many new doctor's appointments. Two new BP meds plus baby aspirin and some Tramadol while the pain is still pretty much always there.

Em was a total rock star. She and Joe filled in some blanks for me this morning and I learned that she had to give me CPR because I had some foaming at the mouth and was primarily unresponsive. My sweet, sensitize, amazing girl had to give her mommy mouth to mouth. What kind of 2021 nonsense is THAT?!?!?

So, yeah. Been an interesting week. SMDH (though not to roughly).

Oh so good to see and hear you here, Aimee!

We love you.

Give that rockstar daughter of yours some hugs from us.

For sure, I will.

Holy crap, Aims. That's amazing. Your daughter is a life-saver. So many hugs for her. And for you!

Aims, my love! It is so good to see you here, and in the world! You and Em can feel the love because it is being sent in abundance.

Today is the birthday of the beloved but not seen often enough vw bug. I hope she is being pampered appropriately by those around her. Have to pop over to FB to send wishes where she is more likely to find them.

Aims, Em obviously inherited the rockstar gene from her amazing mother. I'm so relieved that you are home and doing well. All sorts of good ~ma continues to be headed your way.

Aims! So good to see your pixels! And glad your support network is coming through for you
