The roughest part was the stairs, Hops. Not that I wasn't overwhelmed, overall. I was. Turned out there were 2 Rxs called in....I don't remember reading or hearing about. I handled the other 2 at a different pharmacy, but antibiotics and the other was started a few days late. Yikes.
The kneeling scooters are great, tho my friend's doc hates them. My friend moved one flight up, with a neighbor's help, right after we left. Not sure why my post ok friend didn't ask us to help with that....oooohhh....she thought her brother and sister were on the way. Lack of communication was a problem, consisten5ly. We left her townhouse clean, laundry done and her fridge full of fresh food. Friend is doing everything for herself now....feeding herself. Going to the bathroom. Going up stairs. I hope her brother moved her handicap toilet lift thingy for her. She's going to have tremendous upper body strength when this is done, me'thinks.
I'm glad your post op friend has you there. She's very lucky.
About the Covid testing.....I don't have the timing figured out so can't say I believe they're as useful as I'd like. Just very confused and frustrated.
At the convention everyone needed a vaccine card OR a rapid test, which was on site. Vaccine won't keep us from getting Covid, so a vaxxed person can have it and spread it. A tested person can have it a day later and spread it. Everyone I know has had it.

We put on a small Halloween gathering with a much reduced haunted porch scare fest.
One guest stood with her nose on the house, which creeped the kids out more than my scary mask and black cloak or DD20's red eyed dollbaby jerking about.
Next year the ukele making neighbor and his doc wife will participate. It was interesting to see parents with little kids disappointment at not being terrorized or chased this year tho.
People expect it, by now. One lady said her SIL refused to come back and I asked if she was the one I chased down the street as she sat in an open hatchback. Yes!
I almost caught her too!
It's difficult to get it just right, yup yup yup.

T and I worked on young Lighter's feel I,vs of abandonment and not being protected by "mommy and daddy." Broke my damned heart many times.....so very sad. We stayed with the AIT Advanced Integrative Theraof....I have some specific homework and another appt in less than a week. T going to see Tolle the next week so making due with a Zoom call. The old Victorian is getting a new roof.
Homework is to experience young Lighter's feelings with her while grounding myself and paying attention to surroundings and peripheral vision, etc.....she wanted mommy and daddy. Now she wants/needs adult me.
Not fun but the relief and becoming unbuttoned is worth it.
Interesting the energy felt light a solid ball in my abdomen.....like it was trying to press it's way out, along with many familiar pings beneath it and one sharp shock to my left ovary and right thigh.
The journey continues.

Really glad you're parenting that little L who needs it now, Lighter.
It's never too late.
What a difference directing kindness and care toward your inner child makes.
Every time I recall it and call it up (it being that capability) in myself, it heals me more.
Thanks for sharing this reminder. It's the best work of all, imn-ho.
hugs

I'm not having any trouble hooking into Little L..... she's right here. Always.
I'm glad you're reminded and comforted by the reminder, Hops.
I agree... it is the most important work of all: )
I wish self care and mental health was higher up the list of priorities than it seems to be.
