George is home.

Oh, there was the usual fuss. Paperwork, medications…and at a reasonable ten bucks too, wheelchair, and the long wait between each one. Margot had her car right out in front, and we popped him in with arm raised. Arm raised attached to an IV stand is the norm now.

You can find him moving ships around in space today. He’s found a planet in this game where he can mine huge rewards. He can play his EVE game one handed, and he is coherent enough to tell me what is happening. In this case, he has his arm sling attached to a window screen screw. It may look odd, but it is working.

They say that our healthcare system, Scripps, has been hacked. Ransomeware, and so far a week into this, Scripps is still down. Our insurance approved G going to out of network UCSD, probably because of the Malware, and so I can let that panic go. My Monday appointments for a CT scan and an X-ray are cancelled. I can’t find out for sure about one heart test. George has no tests for two weeks.

He slept well. And I bet he will nap well today. He’s home and healing.

  • Himself: Gaming.
  • Myself: Still on Lasix. What a disaster.
  • Reading: Little the last few days.
  • Watching: Nothing.

  • Gratitude’s: George is home and healing.

The hacking is hugely concerning. It feels like companies don't take the possibility seriously enough.

On another note, I'm so glad George has made it home. Now he can concentrate on healing. Hugs.

So glad George is into the healing phase. And grateful for electronic diversion.

I’m really glad the sweet George is coping so well. The whole thing must’ve been very frightful for both of you. The two of you had really had your struggles the last few years. To steal Stephen Ambrose title, you have both displayed undaunted courage. Wishing you both well.

Glad George is home and healing.

Hoping your insurance company gets itself together soon. 🤦‍♀️. People can not safely delay tests for long and they should not have to .
Hoping the Lasix thing gets better. It’s good that George can game :-)

Best of luck - thinks will keep getting better.

Glad to hear he’s home and recovering well! What’s happening with the Lasix?

I am glad George is home and doing okay. Prayerful thoughts are with you both.

You sound very positive in the midst of all these challenges. Having a sling attached to the wall makes sense and I can only hope it is easy to extricate George when he's had enough gaming.

I'm glad he's home and that the insurance approved things. I hope you can find about about the other test soon, and that his healing is steady.
