Why I am a little distracted this weekend, or, What To Do When Your Hostess Has a Heart Attack
Miss Manners might say:

Be useful, especially when 911 callbacks need to be made due to dropped calls.

Opening doors for emergency response personnel is mannerly and useful.

So is schlepping things to and from the hospital for the person undergoing tests.

So is giving lettuce leaves to the hamster and making sure the husband of the person in the hospital eats.



Anyhow, I'm a little distracted just now. Teresa is doing well, and in very good hands, and we await the results of various tests to see what happens next.

When I postponed my flight home this past Tuesday due to not feeling at all well, I figured a few days of recuperation and then a quiet weekend and then home. I didn't expect all this. But I am very glad to be here and to be able to help, because having two of us (me and Patrick) to be tag-team has proven very useful.

And now I go watch more Buffy episodes. Catch you later.

Er, and I didn't mean that to sound dismissive of you, but seeing it there, that's the way it sounds in my head when I read it. :(

I want everyone to be doing well.

May I recommend checking Xopher @189 in Remembrances and anniversaries on ways of "keeping a good thought" for someone?

Oh, my.

Yes, opening the doors and directing 911 to the house is a good thing. And all those taking-care-of-daily business things are not to be underestimated.

Oh my. I'm glad you're there to help out too. Hope you feel better soon. Hope that Teresa recovers quickly and is out of the hospital soon. Hope that Patrick is ok through all of this. Dealing with hospitals is stressful and enervating.

The three of you are in my thoughts.

all the best wishes for everyone and a speedy recovery.

It sounds like a blessing that your return was delayed.

My heart goes out to all, I loves yous all for various reasons and it would be really bad not to have you here.

Yipes.

Yes, Miss Manners would say those things, and I'm very glad you're on hand to do them.

Please give my love to P&T, and keep a good measure of it for yourself, too.

Updates as you have them would also be welcome. Within the confines of P&T's wishes, obviously. And if there's anything I can do from MA, or by coming down, please let me know. Having someone around with a car might prove useful over the next week or two.

My husband had a mild heart attack on August 26th. Having someone there means a great deal.

Please send my best wishes for a speedy recovery. My thoughts are with you all. If there's anything I can do, let me know.

she reminded me i've been extremely supportive because I've been with her for all the chemo this summer. (she 'graduated' Thursday and has a round of radiation to go. but that is apparently less stressful.)

I hope for the best for Teresa, and I'm glad you are there.
