*sigh* I'm loosing my touch. (Warning: Hi-jacked by Em)

Keep us posted, Em, we are all pulling for you. I know you can do it, that is a given, I am sending good "stay-at-home, not in the hospital' vibes to you, and earnest pleas on your behalf to The Man Upstairs.

We are all pulling for you, Dear Queen.

One day at a time, Em.

We are all rooting for you.

But oh, wow - a little brother for Conner! I hope they wind up being the "best buds" kind of brothers - though that sort have a reputation for "aiding and abetting," so . . . . yep, gonna be interesting.

But as to how things are going around here - well, I'm doing better. I still think it's just a pulled muscle, not a cracked rib, but it's taking its own sweet time about healing. When I get up or down from the couch, or lie down on the bed, it now feels like, "y'know, you might not want to do that," rather than "man, oh, man, was that ever a bad idea!" Breathing deeply is just mildly uncomfortable now, though sneezing is still an adventure.

And I have been dragged, kicking and screaming (though not breathing too deeply) into the 21st century - I now have a smart phone. My kids are gleefully teaching me how to use it, which is turning out to be a laborious process. It's not that I'm a such slow learner; I have the phone because we have switched carriers, and, well, the coverage they claimed has proven to be a slight exaggeration. Sometimes we have a signal, sometimes we don't . . . . things are kinda interesting around here, too.

Em, now until November does seem impossible. Just get through tomorrow and then the next, and then --------------------- I know you are a long term planner, but sometimes we have to modify our behavior. It's a boy?

This day has been really tough. I hate getting old. I suppose you guys know just how it is to be old, huh? Do you guys know a really good product for diarrhea?

 

[Bunnylady]

I've heard that a dip in the moat will cure pretty much whatever ails you.

Super, super true....



I might have to try that out!

 

[EmtheFishLady]

Yup, a boy. Terry has been walking around beaming from ear to ear. I'm just praying he doesn't like to test boundaries as much as Connor does, because it's a constant battle here.

I felt a little better last night. Even was able to go downstairs and sit with everyone for awhile. It's funny and sad when you realize that climbing stairs is your biggest obstacle of the day. Got a little sick last night before bed, but overall I think I did ok. I just had my dose of antibiotics today, so laying here hoping I have an even better day today. I've been praying, because I honestly am at the end of my rope with this. HG is horrible, but it is nothing like the misery of adding the infections on top of it. Something has to give.

Sorry about the pulled muscle Bunny. If you were here I'd give ya a pain pill. For some reason the doctor sent me home with some, and I am not in any pain, so they're just sitting here.

Thanks for the thoughts and prayers guys...I really can use it at the moment.

 

[EmtheFishLady]

On another note, Happy Father's Day Sour!

 

[sourland]

Thanks, Em.

PrettyClouds, attendance at a moat party and a dip in the moat can end many problems, and many of us do know about the aging process - it ain't for sissies.
