D+1
(easy to see where we are, right? No need for now for me to come up with any interesting headings, titles or anything that requires even basic imagination. Especially helpful when I am running more than a bit tired.)
Mostly today was sleep. There is nothing like running a bit of fever during the night added into the extremely frequent checks to insure that you don’t get much sleep. KQED is running in the background (I forgot to bring my headphones – something that I will correct on Saturday night when I head back to the East Bay for a few hours.)
From here on in, it is going to be mostly watchful waiting. Plus medications. Remember from a couple of years ago when I was complaining about having to take a handful of pills in the morning? My meds have nothing on the double handful George gets to swallow multiple times a day. There are anti-infection for both virus and bacteria, kidney support, liver support, Calcium, VitD (sunshine now one’s enemy), immune suppressors and a few others. Thinking about counting them. Then again, why would that make either of us feel any better? Still several meds running through the I.V. which will be our friend for days yet. My main job right now is quiet support and laundry.
Rest assured, I am passing along everyone’s well wishes.
The As had it, then they blew it. I am headed to the game tomorrow. I don’t think my presence or absence will make a difference. If you tune into the game on TV, we are the crew with the drums right behind the banners in the right field bleachers.
