Using John's computer to update
Feb. 22nd, 2024 04:32 pmFirst, the bad news. I got a call this morning that Oldest Brother was going to the hospital again. Over the course of the day I've learned he's been admitted to ICU again. He has sepsis, and they have him on medicine to raise hhis blood pressure, and antibiotics. They think it may. either be a UTI, or a blockage in the tube draining is gallbladder that they just installed before I left for Florida. I'm not planning on coming home early unless things get really bad, it's only a couple more days anyway.
So, aside from that, the good stuff.
I spent Saturday night at![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
mashfanficchick's, and it was fine. They brought me to Newark the next morning, and I had no trouble with the airport or plane. I had a window seat, which was nice, and the flight was fine.
John and Denise picked me up, and we drove back to ther place, stopping for lunch at a Puerto Rican place which was very tasty. I Skyped the FWiB from my phone.
The next day John and I went to several beaches and a preserve, and I saw armadillos in the wild! Also deer, and some wonderful birds. Then back here and dinner with Denise, and hanging out after, and calling Middle Brother. I Skyped the FWiB from my phone again.
Tuesday we went to Blue Spring State Park and saw manatees. Lots and lots and lots of them. And an alligator, and again, great birds. Then again back and dinner with Denise, and hanging out. No Skype, we were up to late.
Wednesday was St. Augustine. We went to a whole bunch of art galleries, and the Catholic cathedral, and an Orthodox shrine, and walked around the fort. Then we went to an ship that's moored there, though we didn't pay to go on board, just looked. Wildlife of the day, pelicans. That night Denise's parents came for dinner and that was a lot of fun, they are nice folks. Again up too late to Skype.
Today I got the call about Oldest Brother, and everything to do with that, including talking to the Kid. After breakfast John and I went to Denises's parents to visit, which was nice, and then we went to the local county library, which is pretty amazing. Wildlife of the day so far, lizards. Came back here and ate lunch on the porch, then John put me on the computer.
So that's how things are now, and I'm going too finish up here and go red.
Gratitude List:
1. The FWiB.
2. My cousins.
3. This trip.
4.mashanficchick and zer mother.
5. The Kid, for checking on my pets.
6. The nursing home for taking care of Oldest Brother.
