2019 Farm Life
Hopalong:
((((CB)))) I really soaked in that advice about sticking to the thing you are setting or enforcing a boundary about. That repetition, without the analysis.
((((Amber)))) Loved the scene of your smile when Buck arrived. I wish Buck could arrive SOON. Y'all are going through a big test, waiting and waiting. But that's what grown-older folks do; we know that railing at time doesn't pass it any faster.
It does sound as though Holly's house will really help, when she's IN it. I'm glad you have a break this week while she works.
Hugs

I'm reminded of people who believe in past lives whenever I hear about a couple who seem to know each other far better than would be thought normal after a relatively short space of time - couples who were together in the past and then find each other again in a new life. It always makes me smile :) I hope you get to spend more time together soon, you sound like such a good fit :) xx

I have a friend who met his girlfriend at a meditation retreat. He claims "their souls played together in a past life."
Maybe they did, maybe they didn't.
It's a beautiful connection, either way.

So, Buck spent 12 hrs in the ER yesterday; same hospital where he's been treated all this time. Luck of the draw - he got a doc that knows his business and didn't just turn him away with a couple ibuprofens.
Took a CT scan of the pump
Took a sample of fluid of the infection in the skin layers between the outside & pump; definitely infected - cellulitis as a result of staph infection.
Took a sample of serous fluid (abdominal cavity) - and results will take a few days.
But the end result, was he was released after midnight with a Rx for antibiotics in hand.
Which IMO, should've happened 4 months ago but the infection at that time was misdiagnosed as "dermatitis". (Without any samples tested.) You or I could walk into almost any urgent care shopfront, with an infection and get a Rx in about an hour.
But not veterans. Another vet - who worked for the VA for a decade or so - said it's well known (but not openly discussed) that DoD and Veterans hospitals usually partner with Medical University hospitals and that the patients are human guinea pigs. To me, this violates medical ethics, the little I've been acquainted with them, through the medical science departments at the university I worked at. In my value system, for sure, this isn't right.
IF B can get formally discharged - then he has access to the Tricare insurance and a lot more flexibility about choosing his own care providers. Next objective - check.
Everyone here is off working or whatever. Hol will be home Sunday. John is spending lots of time in DC museums. And there are several there, that are my favorites. I hope he hits the Freer and the Phillips. Steve is pretty much working through new years. It's just Freddy, me & Knuckles. Steve's dog Beeb, is staying with his mama's owner.
I've been indulging myself in sheer downtime. Yes, there are chores. Yes, there are projects. Yes I need to make some holiday decisions and get that off my plate. But I'm just doing the things I WANT to do, or have done, for right now. One of those things is baking Buck some of his favorite cookies. LOL.
Doing as much "not thinking" and "not analyzing" as I can stand. It's a pleasant change of pace and I needed a break.

Amber:
I can't express how relieved I feel over B's dx, and procurement of meds.
WHoop whoop.
I hope the other test results come back soon!
Very very cool: )
