Family medical stuff is the worst. It’s like there are a million individual people who have to do their jobs in order for the patient to get what they need, and at least one always misses the mark and you have to watchdog friggin’ everyone.

I guess at least they caught it in time; there was discussion of whether or not to keep the digit, and he was a little alarmed, but that discussion has mostly ceased. He’s still there tonight, but thanks to some understated bullying by my mother, he was fed, at least. (He’s taken care of so well by my mother– and takes care of her in return, he carries all the baskets at the farmer’s market and stands back beaming vaguely as she has conversations, it’s too much to handle– that he hasn’t had to consider how to procure himself a meal in decades, it’s just always something that happens, and he occasionally expresses opinions but mostly considers himself fortunate whatever happens.)

Three nights in the hospital! I’m at the Fretting threshhold, which is silly, it’s just his thumb, he’s fine. It’s not like. All the horrifying terrifying deep complex things that can go wrong with a person. And he is an old man, he wasn’t young when I was born and plenty of people my age don’t have their fathers anymore. He didn’t, by my age! Neither of my grandfathers surpassed sixty! Having the same belt size as he did in 1969 and still being spry enough to do pretty hard physical labor does not make him not 73. 

And I can’t help watchdog, I am uselessly 300 miles away, being the one on the text conversation that can’t handle it.

I’m considering texting him cheerful memes but he’s so new to smartphone usage, I think he’ll be puzzled by them more than cheered. 

I was going to say, I’m such a daddy’s girl, but that’s absolutely not the case, there aren’t convenient phrases for healthy relationships. I just have a generally really good relationship with my father, who despite having inexplicable political views I can’t at all parse, is extremely loving and supportive and has always understood me pretty well and encouraged me in useful ways, and I can’t bear the thought of him being old, and more importantly, what that means about the coming years.

Look, Crix, Kes deserves some R&R. Retirement even, if that’s what he wants. Don’t know if you rebels give compensation packages for exemplary service, but you’re welcome to use part of mine – just don’t tell Chewie.

Just my two credits’ worth

They’re keeping him another day at least, and someone else mentioned “keeping the thumb” as a kind of aspirational goal, what the heck. He’s texting and says he still feels just fine except of course his thumb, but.

I’m going to stay at mom’s house instead of the farm, and I might wind up spending more of this visit sitting in the hospital than doing the wreath-making stuff I’d planned on!
I’m glad I’m not the only one who just Frets. I have been doing so much Fretting lately, I’m really just transferring it straight across.

Mom gently suggested to him that he might need to start asking the nurses to, say, let him get out of bed, and bathe, and things, because this is turning out to not be a quick visit after all… I’m just worried that he’ll start losing muscle tone, and then hurt himself when he gets out and tries to do something routine. He leads such an active lifestyle normally that it’s got to be taking a toll to be just stuck at IV-length with no ability to move around.

Heck and phooey and bleurgh. Upside, I just figured out how to answer asks on mobile!

Oh dear. In the mobile browser I can no longer load more posts, Tumblr is broken.
No, I’m not installing the app, I’ll stop using the site entirely if it comes to that. It took over my phone last time, never loaded an image, and wouldn’t let me uninstall it.
So anyway. I can see some of my notifications but I can’t read anybody’s posts unless they happen to be on the first screen when I load the page.
This fucking site.

That’s real-time how long it takes my cash register to respond when I type or scan a barcode. Just a lil portrait of what it is that I do here. #vpn #perfecthellforADHD

ADHD is interesting because you get about 40 minutes of running errands before your dopamine runs out and you just stand there on your phone in the sponge aisle
