Hugs and love, Plei. Rest when you can. Be kind to yourself.
Funny thing about black and white. You mix it together and you get gray. And it doesn't matter how much white you try and put back in, you're never gonna get anything but gray.

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!
