As soon as this one gets over 300, I'm taking my like back

P.S. I know the last 48 hours have been a posting avalanche. Hosting and cooking a holiday dinner and then tending to a delirious, sometimes combative patient was… a lot. Sharing here helped me feel less alone. Thank you for sticking with me, and thank you to everyone who reached out.

I’m drained, but I’m glad I’m here. He’s pretty loopy and incoherent right now, and twice the doctors and nurses asked about his medication history. Both times he started giving answers that weren’t quite right, and I had to jump in.

Post surgery.
We're in a room.

Doc came out with an update. All done. All good. Will have to be admitted for a couple nights. We've been through this before. We'll be okay.

I may go have a good cry in the bathroom.

The worst part is, I told myself to eat something before we left, but it was such a chaotic journey from his bed to the car. I didn't want to lose momentum, so off we went. It's a miracle I didn't get here in pajama pants.

This made me laugh right out 😆

Turkey Day for the kitTeas, too.
