Done Since 2021-06-27

I don't know where in Hell this last week went. But given last weekend's heat wave it was probably somewhere in there.

The air conditioner I ordered just before the heat wave arrived Wednesday, just after the heat wave. Go figure. But it's installed now, and ready for the next one.

E and (husband)M came up Tuesday to pick up their boxes of things from Mom's apartment; they also selected some artwork to take home. Glad that it's getting a good home. Between and the box that my cousin Mark picked up last week, there is considerably more space in the garage now, but we still have way too much Stuff.

Colleen had a video appointment with a UW dietician (Monday -- useful) and visits from Eden Home Health for OT (Tuesday), PT (Wednesday -- including a well-deserved scolding), and nursing (also Wednesday, for a catheter change). Which did not go well -- they came back Friday(  (medical TMI) )

; Colleen is now in the ER in Coupeville awaiting transfer to a UW hospital in Seattle. She did not get a video appointment with her doctor, also scheduled for Monday -- he still is not doing video. WTAF? We're going to have to Have Words with WhidbeyHealth.

I spent a lot of yesterday feeling rather miserable. Depressed? Discouraged? Except while visiting with Colleen, when I mostly felt worried. A little music helped, as did a second visit to Colleen after dinner, but still... In other medical misery I appear to be having quite a lot of pain in my right hip. WTF?

I guess that's where the week went.

For links, you may be interested in "My Quest for Sadness" (about alexithymia -- probably a more serious case than mine, but it's hard to tell because alexithymia).

The usual content warning for medical details and bodily fluids under the cut. Would you prefer that I leave those in, or filter them out (which would make these posts considerably shorter)? Inquiring minds... Answer in comments if you have a strong preference either way.
