I'm sorry sundae. That email has to hurt, no matter the reasoning behind it. :(

Bigv...so sorry to you also.

There's so much pain in the world. :(

Well now.
I had a second email from Mum, which was happy and jolly and fine.
So we're back to pretending everything is okay. That's the way we roll.

But in better news, Otis is back from the vet. Gosh he's so skinny to the touch. You can't see it - both my boys are big - but I can feel all his ratty bones under the skin. I noticed it on Sunday. So he gets some extra special treats while separate from Duncan, who is stronger and quite capable of muscling him out of the way.

And the ear infection I feared has sorted itself out. Never progressed further than a bit of pain, fluid and poor hearing.

V, I'm so sorry about your situation.
I was too caught up in my own to read up on it.

Maybe the drum ruptured and relieved pressure? You should keep water out of that ear canal for a few weeks to avoid infection while it heals. (If it ruptured.)

The wife of one of my husband's former partners died unexpectedly late yesterday afternoon. Said that way, it sounds like we barely knew her but we were very close for more than ten years while my husband ran the ER corp in the '90s - always at each other's places, shared holiday dinners, lots of time spent together. They were the only non-family that we asked to be at our granddaughter's funeral in 2010. We drifted apart in 2011 over business issues, but the partner and my husband had been best friends for years prior. She was just 61. She was absolutely devoted to her kids; she was the 'do everything, go anywhere' mom. The family will have a very tough time.

How very sad for all concerned. You can still feel a lot for someone you've drifted apart from if they were a big part of your life for years. Hugs to you, ortho! x

Sometimes that makes the loss even harder, because you think of the time you've missed.

Sorry, Ortho.

It is awkward after drifting apart. I'm very sorry for all of them. It feels odd and sad to not feel able to just reach right out as we used to. We have reached out, but they aren't in town (she was stricken while at an out of town wedding) and things are distant physically as well as emotionally. We have given them our condolences and let them know we are available to help. I feel so bad for the kids.
Anyway, they have our contact info and we'll let them know they're always welcome. Once things settle down, it gets harder.

*frowns* that sucks.

BigV 10-28-2015 04:46 PM

Sorry ortho,

That's weak, I know, but true nonetheless. Sorry.

The VA or eye Dr. not sure which one to blame. Called to check on new glasses. Dead end everywhere. Then VA called and said had nothing from my eye DR. The fax was to be sent on the 16th. Oh well. Was too late to call them when I got the word.

What a crap system. Sorry B.
