The Twinkies

Brian had his post-operative check up today and is doing well. They plan to send him home on Friday. He is walking well, can climb stairs and has had his pain medication reduced. He will go be going back to the doctor’s office next Tuesday for another post-operative check-up.

Thank you everyone who send him an e-card (Brian Berry in room 3316) or a snail-mail card. Those have really brightened up his days.

I had a massage this morning and my jaw tension is… remarkable. I’ve contacted my chiropractor-who-makes-house-calls to see if she can make it over anytime soon. Maybe she’ll bring her newborn for me to ogle.

The kids have started to show some signs of stress in all this. Both have had some separation anxiety when I drop them off in the morning at school which is understandable. From their perspective I drop them off and than disappear until the middle of the night. I picked them up both yesterday and today and that seems to have alleviated some of their concerns.

We are seeing signs of success with F’s new diet. Her poop output is slowly returning to normal, using J as a yardstick for what normal is. Her rash is almost totally gone.

And that’s the news from Lake PoopBeGone, where all the men are invalids and all the children have above average poop and rash output.
