Oh, my gosh lisah, sending all the good recovery vibes her way. How scary! I'm glad she got care, and I'm glad you guys were there to help her with it and also not be stuck several states away worrying. Yikes.
And don't you ever stand for that sort of thing. Someone ever tries to kill you, you try to kill 'em right back! ... You got the right same as anyone to live and try to kill people.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
Holy shit, Lisa.
Separately, I just bought Brenda’s pillows!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Holy crap, Lisa. I hope she continues to recover!

Timelies all!

Ugh. Asshole neighbor was at it again. Mr. S is here, and wanted to play outside on our front lawn. Neighbor basically told him to go inside. He also told Gary to do something about our yard. (Now I know who put the sticky notes on our door a few weeks ago telling us to cut our grass) Gary got pissed off and yelled at him. (Did I mention that neighbor has several pro-Tr*mp signs in his front window, plus two signs saying "Kamala Harris sucks" that went up well after the election?)
Going back to colonoscopies, I have one scheduled along with an endoscopy on May 30th. I already have the prep, which I can mix with ginger ale or lemon-lime soda. (It's a total volume of 16 oz) I'm more concerned about the low fiber diet for three and two days before the procedure, and the clear liquid diet the day before.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.
I had to look up "aortic ulcer." Ouch. Do not want. ER and ICU were the right call.
Someone is being Wrong On The Internet about one of the medications I have been taking for the past five years. I posted a correction, with links to the relevant pages of the manufacturer's web site, but that seems not to have fazed him. I should let it go, but I am still angry out of all reasonable proportion, and still having difficulty with just letting it go. Grrrrrr.
clear liquid diet
Consommé if you are feeling fancy.
I went with plain ol' Swanson chicken broth.
