(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.

 

About Holly

fiber person - knitter, spinner, weaver who spent 33 years being a military officer to fund the above. And home. And family. Sewing and quilting projects are also in the stash. After living again in Heidelberg after retiring (finally) from the U.S. Army May 2011, we moved to the US ~ Dec 2015. Something about being over 65 and access to health care. It also might have had to do with finding a buyer for our house. Allegedly this will provide me a home base in the same country as our four adult children, all of whom I adore, so that I can drive them totally insane. Considerations of time to knit down the stash…(right, and if you believe that…) and spin and .... There is now actually enough time to do a bit of consulting, editing. Even more amazing - we have only one household again. As long as everyone understands that I still, 40 years into our marriage, don't do kitchens or bathrooms. For that matter, not being a golden retriever, I don't do slippers or newspapers either. I don’t miss either the military or full-time clinical practice. Limiting my public health/travel med/consulting and lecturing to “when I feel like it” has let me happily spend my pension cruising, stash enhancing (oops), arguing with the DH about where we are going to travel next and book buying. Life is good!
