It Never Rains But It Pours

[caitri]

In the past five days:

1) My Mom went into the hospital with some serious confusion relating to what turned out to be sepsis from a kidney infection. She's doing much better with antibiotics and was released yesterday.

2) I had a follow-up with my doctor, who confessed to mystification with my bodily malfunctions -- he opened his clinic in 1984 and I was born in 1981, he has literally been doing this my entire life -- and he came up with three pages of possible tests and such. In particular he wants to do a laparascopy where they'd go in with a camera and look at all my innards and video it and see what's what. I am so not thrilled with this notion. But I need to think on all things.

3) My boss's daughter passed away last night -- long time expected, and now I am the head of the unit for the foreseeable, and so all of today was endless emails where I think about all the things no one else can think of, like making sure I can approve timesheets so all my coworkers can get paid.

I am so, so tired.

Cait, I am so sorry life continues to LIFE for you-if you need a metaphorical ear, I'm here.

That is A Lot. I'm glad of the good news for your mom, and I hope for better for you soon. (And it is a vicarious relief that you thought of the tmesheets ngl. Good catch.)

Oh my friend. hugs you sustainingly

FWIW, though I AM Not A Medical Professional, I would recommend the laparoscopy, though obviously not right now.
