Lost my mom over a year ago. When something good or bad happens, i still reach for my phone to call her. I don’t know when that ends. I kinda hope never.

“I don’t know when that ends”. I remember this feeling when I lost my own mother 15 years ago. A friend told me “It’s not really about getting over it, but getting through it.” It stuck with me - I hope it may help to hear.

Thank you. Yeah, there’s no over it - you know- it’s still on your mind every day. I’m spending this summer cleaning out her house - clean a little, find something funny, cry a little, take a nap, repeat.

My second bout with Covid. Wasn’t nearly as bad as the first time. All I did was watch Legend of Korra and Fargo season 5. All good now though.

Glad you bounced back. Fargo S5 was my favorite story since S1. John Hamm was fantastic.

I really liked the immortal dude. Sam Spruell stole the show. I did have an issue with the Halloween episode though. Like Dot went through all the trouble of changing the street signs, but she couldn’t wear a mask on Halloween? Classic smart character does something stupid so the plot can happen.

Epiploic Appendagitis:

Thought I ruptured something. Horrible pain.

Things you never want to hear a doctor say:

“Nothing we can do except control the pain.”

So they put me on hydromorphone:

“It has an analgesic potency approximately two to eight times greater than that of morphine”

Do not let anyone find out you have dilaudid, your probably taking the pills, but injected it is one of the most sought after drugs

I didn’t know that. I got two doses of Dilaudid when I had a bad response to an iron infusion, and I was still in so much pain that the clinic sent me to the ER.

Same. I wish you the best for your continued upward trajectory, friend. 😐🤜

What from, if I may ask?

Me, I’ve been on a multi-year roller coaster (more like haunted house ride, really, with the rattling and the spooks and the lack of upwards motion…) involving asking for help in what turned out to be the wrong place, causing me to lose my job, kids, spouse, dream house, future dreams, sanity, and damn near my life.

Still, I’m still here, still hoping for things to get better. You know, eventually.

Decided to take a corner by swapping places with my bike. Got more graze than a flock of sheep.
