Oldest Brother's in the hospital again
May. 22nd, 2024 11:47 pmI got a call from the nursing home at 1:30 this morning, which I didn't wake up for, but they left a message on voice mail. I woke up 3ish to go to the bathroom and got it, saying that Oldest Brother had been taken to the hospital.
To make a long story short, he has pneumonia, but that isn't the real issue, it's monor and resolving. The real issue is again septicemia resulting from a UTI. Right now he;s in the ICU.
I found that out in part from his mychart, but mostly from a doctor when I went to visit this afternoon, taken by
mashfanficchick and zer mother.
Before that I slept late after having been up at 3 for over an hour texting people about Oldest Brother, and worrying. I finally got up, breakfasted, and had coffee, Then I puttered online. The major thing I did was post the last bit of Starsky and Hutch fic on the archive. So at last I am all caught up.
Then at 3 I took a shower and dressed.
mashfanficchick and zer mother picked me up at somewhat after 5 and we went to the hospital. Then after that we got Carvel, and then they took me to the bank where I took out money for this weekend.
mashfanficchick picked up the laundry ze dropped off on Sunday. I will start packing for the weekend after I finish this.
They dropped me off and I went to my Pathfinder game. We finished the game, with two big blazing battles. I nearly got killed but didn't. Next week we start a new game with a new GM.
After we finished I Skyped the FWiB for a brief while. Then I fed the pets, wrote an email to update John and Laurie about Oldest Brother, nd then started here.
And now I must go and pack.
Gratitude List:
1. The FWiB.
2. MY gaming group.
3. My friends.
4. Oldest Brother's condition seems under control.
5. I was able to peak to a doctor.
6. Carvel.
