What a week!
Apr. 18th, 2024 06:44 pm... and it's only Thursday!
On Monday, my dear honorary aunt Irene had a health scare, and I spent the day in an ER with her, as she has no local family. She's fine now, but there was a very scary possibility that needed to be ruled out.
My daughter's had increasing back pain since last weekend, and yesterday the pain ramped up so fast that we went to the same ER. Again, scary possibilities ruled out, but she's still in a lot of pain-- lumbar strain probably complicated by her SPS, and then by a bad reaction to a drug. Spent this morning wondering if we were headed back to the hospital, but she's improving now.
Tomorrow I drive Irene to a follow-up appointment, because her blood pressure was scary high even at the end of the ER trip. And there will likely be some kind of appointment for Laura too.
I haven't even attempted to do any focused work since yesterday noon... just lots of crocheting.
