Things I haven't missed about being back in this state:
What are afternoons spent making awkward conversation around a hospital bed.
Nothing earth-shattering or life-threatening, so it seems, just the diuretic medication my grandfather is on for the fluid around his lungs being too strong and overtaxing his already low-functioning kidneys, leading to extreme pain for him and an evening in the ER for all of us. But the pain is under control, and the edema, and the medication will be adjusted, and another crisis is averted. I'd forgotten in the last several months how exhausting this is, that's all.
( cut for opinions of a political nature )
I didn't really mean this to be a political post, but it's been a long damn day.
