Update on things

[zenmondo]

It looks like buffalogal will be in the hospital for three of four more days. I get a feeling that is an "at least" estimate. They have to get levels in her blood just right before they can send her home.

Conor seems to be doing well with mom gone. The first thing he said to me this morning though was asking when she is coming home.

I am doing well too. It was fortuitous that I started anti-depressants right before all this happened. My moods have actually been good, and I have been able to take care of things at home.

Today was my first real REAL test, having to get up early enough to get Conor ready for school and on the bus on time. I did it with very little difficulty. buffalogal usually does this, and I sleep. Its not fair for her, and she is probably burned out by it. When she gets home, I will do my best to help out in this arena.

I've been going to bed very early so I can manage to get up in the morning.

Mornings have been difficult for me most of my life. Its more than a matter of will for me to get up in the morning it seems. But now when I have to, have to, I can manage. I'm sure most people will think I am just lazy, but its really not that. Not that at all. But with my anti-depressants I am taking, its almost like I want to get up in the morning. I dunno.

I totally understand. For years it was impossible for me to get up on time for school or jobs. It wasn't until I had a job where I was the sole and only person that was going to be there, thus screwing everyone over if I didn't get out of bed, that I was able to force myself up and out everyday.

Glad to hear the hopeful news, glad to hear that you're (relatively) well.

Hey, just wondering if you have any more info on how buffaloga is doing, aside from when she'll get out of the hospital. I looked it up online and blood clots in the lungs are kinda serious, so I've been worried. If it's not too much for me to ask, how's she doing, and what are the doctors saying about the cause of this and her prognosis? I don't pray, but I am sending lots of *hugs* your way.

They don't know what caused it. She doesn't have any risk factors, its a complete mystery how she got them. Right now they are waiting for the medicine in her blood to be at a theraputic level.

Hugs!

I just came over here from your wife's journal and wanted to let you know that you all will be in my thoughts. I wish you the best of luck in getting up in the mornings to take Conor to school. Been there, done that with serious depression ... not easy!

I only just saw this and the preceding posts about buffalogal being sick -- I haven't been keeping up with LJ too well lately due to work stress.

I hope everything turns out OK -- my thoughts will be with you and her and Conor. Would you be OK with my partner and I doing some healing work for her?

Healing work would be much appreciated. Thank you.

Good for you, finding some new strength in a difficult situation.
