It’s been a time, such a time.
April 10 I was in our NJ house celebrating 30th wedding anniversary with Spouse. Two days later, on the Friday, I drove back to NY thinking I’d get a jump on the weekend stuff.
The very next day Youngest took Spouse to the ER - he was admitted with sepsis from spontaneous bacterial peritonitis. I flew down last Sunday morning (the 14th) scared to death he’d be dead before I got there.
He wasn’t. Praise be.
Got treated, got better, came home Thursday. Been nursing him. He now officially has decompensated, not compensated, cirrhosis and is slotted into the local-to-us transplant program. Has two kids hot to do partial living donor transplant because they are compatible blood type.
It’s been really busy. Eldest got a job which started last Friday and sadly one of her two guinea pigs died the night before. She got through all of it though and I’m proud of her.
Sober is good.
Wow, I don't even know what to say to all that. I'm glad you all seem to have made it through even if it is with residual problems but coping sober trumps any drinking muddling through. My thoughts are with you and yours and this surely has to be your quota of bad luck for the year.
