Alexx's bypass surgery

[kestrell]

Alexx's surgeon called a little while ago to tell me that his gurgery went really well...tho there's always the chance of stroke or bleeding.

Alexx isn't awake yet, so I'll post again when I hear from him.

My care coordinator at Tuft's was really great: when I told her that Alexx was having his surgery today, she facilitated getting a ride to the hospital for me for Sunday, and I could just call for a return ride whenever I wanted.

My PTSD has been rearing its head today, so I'm finding it hard to concentrate or really speak much, but I'm able to do short sentences. Mostly I've been alternately cleaning things and huggint the plush coyote Alexx gave me for Christmas. It's difficult for me to get really depressed when I'm hugging Coyote.

Thanks for the update, and sending you both healing wishes.

How have you been doing? I've been too short of spoons to post to social media, but I've been thinking of you and hoping you are doing better.

Thanks for thinking of me.

My meds have gone south again so I'm spinning in place maintaining the best I can with comic books and TV shows.

I continue to have severe adverse reactions to all migraine meds, and no reaction to medical marijuana at all.
My meds are music (mostly New Orleans and 50s rock'n'roll) and lots of books. I also recently began learning to play the bonboes. And I'm looking into music for healing.
The one thing that does work on my migraines, most of the time, is lavender and yoga breathing.

Best wishes for a smooth recovery and lower stress for both of you soon.
