Buckle up, kids! Daddy's puttin' the hammer down.

Poor ltc was right next to me when I got the phone call.

That all sounds very frustrating Laura!!
Good luck sj.
I am trying to figure out why I was doing pretty well in regards to migraines and only had 1-2 in June…and then have had 7 in July. Thankfully I have plenty of meds, which means I can usually knock them out after a couple hours, but it’s not pleasant or fun. And I don’t know what I’ve done or changed to suddenly have so many!!

Oh, gosh, sending all the health ~ma your stepdad's way and calm ~ma to you, sj.
Laura, that is wild -- is that typical behavior for her? I don't even have the energy to throw a sustained tantrum, and I imagine she's got a few decades on me. Yikes. Hope you've been able to take a break from all family agita today. It's a lot.

Our wings are not tired.
Screaming hysterically at her children is a relatively recent behavior. She refuses to address any of her fixable issues, and her kids are growing tired of it. At this point, they almost always let her leave a message and call her back when they can get comfy and listen to the rants. She is going to end up living with one of us, or in assisted living, but she refuses to take care of herself, and insists she would never consent to living with her kids. Parents!
Continuing to send recovery vibes, and calming vibes your way, sj.

It was a heart attack. He’s in stable condition.

Stable is good. May his recovery be swift.

Still sending all the good vibes, sj. Stable is a good word, yes.
Oof, that's tough, Laura.
