It has been a day

[vvalkyri]

So since I dunno, a little after half past two I've been sitting with mom, using the iPad one handed, other hand in hers as she sleeps. Her hr has gone down from 150 to 120, and her breathing, though still bipap, is better. It has, so far, been a hell of a day. [ though it has climbed back to 130 in the past ten to fifteen

perhaps the universe thought I shouldn't be alone?

Well, that would make two of us.

You are stronger and more capable than you seem to credit yourself. You are able to manage on your own, and certainly don't need constant company. But even in the best of times you thrive best with people around. In the present situation, I feel a little sigh of relief when you mention you were with so-and-so or whoever.

Continued good thoughts for you and your mom.

It was especially good timing that somewanker had decided to hang out in the waiting room until he knew I would come out at 7; debela had gotten there too, by then, meaning that I wasn't alone when talking with the doc, and in fact was sitting on somewanker.

The doc is kind and comforting, but it was still a conversation with difficult finality. I'll paste an emaila bout that into another post.

(the ipad was invaluable this afternoon)

Hugs. Lots of them. You're doing great.

Can buy a new keyfob at the dealership for about $80. I know that's not cheap, but...working is better than not. Also, might be able to cancel/disable the lo-jack stuff?
