My sister’s boat went in the water, so I’m going to drive to her marina tomorrow and pretend to be a lady of boating leisure for the day.
A day well spent!
I got out of the house by 7:30 this mornng to walk the Panhandle and get coffee and a blueberry Cutie Pie (aka, hand pie) for breakfast. Not a run but good steps banked before 9am.
One of my FB friends that has been messaging with me about her incipient hopes for motherhood and has shared a lost pregnancy with me, told me this morning that she gave birth to her baby daughter. She and her husband are aglow with new parenthood and I'm very happy for her and baby Clara Louise (yes, she's a silent film fan).
Matilda did a sleepover at her friend Liv's house, so it's just me and the pigs this morning and they're happily monching away on parsley and carrots.
I'm friends on Facebook with 2 people from grade school, and one of them messaged me to tell me she's going to organize a 40-year reunion for our class (St. B, 8th-grade class of 1985, represent). And half of me wants to flee screaming and the other half is a trash goblin that lives for drama and absolutely wants to go. I'm still not sure which half is going to win.
I am going to spend my entire weekend flopped on the couch watching TV and doing hand sewing. The past two weeks for work have been crazy stressful; add in the near constant anxiety insomnia and nightmares and I am WIPED OUT.
I'm bumping up to 1.0 (the actual "therapeutic" dose) of Wegovy today, and I'm a little apprehensive. I haven't had any of the terrible side effects so far, but I live in a state of low-level anxiety all the time now, so hey! My brain will look for more things to freak out about.
We’re in Michigan this weekend for yearly mushroom hunt and it’s been… too “exciting.”
We got in Thursday late afternoon and Bob’s Mom wasn’t feeling well. Seemed to be digestive stuff she said had started the day before and wasn’t getting better. She couldn’t eat anything for dinner but was sitting up at the table with us chatting. Bob and I went out to meet up with his sister at the brewery 5 minutes away for a beer. We were there maybe 20 minutes and Bob’s mom called to say her stomach pain was much worse & was around her back now and she thought she needed to go to the hospital. So we rushed back and she was on the phone with 911 (thinking she would get admitted to the ED faster if she came in an ambulance). EMTs got there, determined she was probably not having a heart attack and got her over to the hospital about 20 min away
She got a CT scan at the hospital that showed an aortic ulcer being the likely source of the pain and they were going to admit her to the ICU. We came home sometime around 1.
Yesterday they started the catheterization to contain the ulcer in the afternoon and were finishing up when they nicked an artery in her stomach and ended up having to do a way more major surgery to repair it. So she was in surgery for like 5 more hours. But they think it went well. She was in danger of losing her leg! Anyway, she’s still in the ICU and in a fair amount of pain but the doctors say she’s doing well.
Oh, my gosh lisah, sending all the good recovery vibes her way. How scary! I'm glad she got care, and I'm glad you guys were there to help her with it and also not be stuck several states away worrying. Yikes.
