Yesterday was my first day, and I didn’t get home from the hospital until last night. I immediately fell asleep AND FORGOT TO POST. So sorry!
Also, Bluesky has blocked me for sharing my GoFundMe too many times, so it will require me finding some other less exhausting way of posting. Until then, I will be grabbing Crooks and Liars posts and putting up assorted links.
They told me “some people” have a side effect where they have trouble touching anything cold, and what I’m learning is, when they say “some people,” they mean “most, but if we tell them that, they’re all think they’re going to get it.”
Guess what? This morning, I went to grab a bottle of cold water from the fridge to take my morning meds, AND OMIGOD, MY HANDS FELT LIKE THEY WERE ON FIRE. So I grabbed the pair of wool socks I dropped on the floor last night and put them over my hands.
But they didn’t tell me that “some people” swallow cold water and IT FEELS LIKE YOU’RE DRINKING RAZOR BLADES. ARGHH.’
Anyway, how is your day so far?
Obviously Bluesky is just a mosquito bite on the background of what you’re dealing with.
It reminds me, though, of when WordPress decided to blow up my blog site at a particularly bad time for me (I still haven’t fixed it, things have never settled down). And somehow that was just the frozen limit.
They’re a _tool_ that you’re using. Coming round and biting you right when your world is barely propped up — and for what? some irrelevant bureaucratic bullshit — it is, as I say, the frozen limit.
I noted the lack of a post yesterday and hoped that you were OK.
I have no particular knowledge of chemo but have often noted that physicians fail to inform me of extremely important aspects of their treatments. Though I don’t want to be the patient that says “I saw online that …”, there have been numerous times where asking questions in advance of a procedure was essential to my ability to take care of myself at home. As a singleton, even “will I be able to drive myself home” is something they often don’t tell me about in advance.
While it doesn’t hold a candle to yours, my day lasted all week, involving kids, grand-kids, grandparents, and your nemesis cars. The week started with son-in-law’s car on the fritz, then daughter’s car going ‘thunk’ producing a week of schedule madness of car swaps in the driveway, parent’s work, kid’s school, and grandparent’s doctor visits with yours truly as Uber-driver, driving different cars each day culminating with the purchase of one vehicle, which the dealer sold to someone else before we could pick it up, then purchase of a second vehicle that acted up on the way home. All’s well that ends well, I guess. Everyone got to work, school, and doctor and then picked up on time.
And still holding you in our thoughts every day. All the best Suzie.
