Well it sure has been some excitement around here, what with trips to the hospital and all. My poor honey had a sub clavian deep vein thrombosis, so we had to deal with it. Which meant dealing with a bunch of frightening things in the deep space of medical unknowns. Now that it has receeded into two days ago, it doesn't seem nearly as bad. I don't feel like this is the forum to communicate all the gristly details, but I just have to say that the biggest blanket concern from the last week has been healthcare. And anyone who has sat in an Emergency Room in the wee hours with the screaming and dying people all around them knows that it isn't just what is wrong with you, it is going through the whole ordeal of the experience that makes it difficult.

But enough complaining. The truth is also that it has been really great to hear from people who called in their concern or referred their doctor relatives with information. So that is the upside, in some sense.

I would love to digress into how I want to come up with a better way to package breakfast cereal, since I keep spilling it out on the counter every morning, but instead I am distracted by the syringes laying around, which make me feel like a junkie. My poor honey has to inject herself twice a day, which I know is not that big a deal, but I can hardly stand to watch.
