Yeah, that

So the last time I wrote I was going to talk about everything else that went on in October.  But in the 12 days since then even more crap has happened.

To TL:DR October:

10/06 -  I have three teeth that need to come out, all failed dental work from California.  Two of them are broken.  One aches off and on and is making me miserable.  The hit to the wallet, even with insurance is substantial.  I am not a happy woman.  At the beginning of the month the aching one decides to act infected and put me on round #1 of antibiotics.

10/08 - The muscle spasm I talked about in my last post hit.

10/15 -  The infection I talked about in my last post hit.

10/28 -  Thanks to the head wrap heating up my scalp and my ongoing case of testosterone poisoning my hair came out in clumps.   Now I have some full on bald patches on my scalp.  I am currently rocking the scarf look.  Given the meds I'm on that should not have happened.  I'm seeing a new Endo in December to be reevaluated.

11/01 - A Wednesday night.  My dear wife comes home from work sick as a dog.  I mean SICK.  She spent Thursday and Friday on the couch, lethargic and sweating out a fever and watching nature documentaries.  On Saturday morning we landed in Urgent Care for her and ended up spending most of the day there.  Not only did she have an infection that no one can figure out how she got it up where she got it, but as it turns out she has - let's politely say she did herself a mischief.  We suspect this was caused by years of lifting people in the ER and is the actual cause of the pain she's been having in the down theirs for the past few years.  But regardless of how or when it got started it is officially past the Let's Keep An Eye On It stage and on to the Fix It Before It Becomes An Emergency stage.

Which means surgery.  Very likely sometime this month.  Because of COURSE it does.

OK, it's outpatient surgery.  Takes less than an hour.  Will probably be laproscopic, meaningv very small cuts. Get in, push everything back up where it belongs, sew the hole closed so it doesn't come out again, and you're golden.  Maybe put a mesh patch over the hole at most, if they can't sew it closed. Quick and simple and so on. 

Except I don't drive.  And I walk with a crutch.  My kitty cat does all the driving and lifting.  This is going to mean no driving for a week and no lifting from, well, last weekend to a month after surgery, whenever that is.

Anyone want to come clean the liter boxes for me?

We can make this work. We have friends who are like family who will help us make this work.  It just takes planning and coordination.  I will probably pull this off AND host Thanksgiving so my kitty cat doesn't have to drive AND make all my Christmas gifts and cards. And maybe even finish a story or two, although keeping to any sort of publishing schedule is not guaranteed.

So that's where we are.  I'm going to try to type up something here nightly because if nothing else it clears my head.
