Hugs and love, Plei. Rest when you can. Be kind to yourself.
You were very nearly devoured by a giant demon snake. The words 'let that be a lesson' are a tad redundant at this juncture.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

So sorry Plei.
I am typing to you from Seoul! Just made it to the place about 36 hours after I left home. Though admittedly that includes sleeping about 7 hours ish in a hotel at DFW. I am zonked but trying to stay awake at least a little later since it’s only 6pm here and I don’t want to wake up at 3am.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
Port is placed, everything went well, getting up at 4:30 is brutal, time for a nap.

Excellent. A round of naps for my friends.
Our nurses gave me this advice on prepping JZ's port before it needed to be accessed, and I always got compliments on my technique:
Don't rub the anesthetic cream in. Just put a generous dollop of cream on the site and then put the clear film bandage over it. No rubbing! Big dollop!

Plei, I'm so sorry. It's a terrible loss.
Glad things are going well so far with Tim! I am both glad and saddened that we have a wealth of practical advice to offer.
Seoul?!? Amazing - I missed hearing if that is work or fun but have a blast!
