if there's one thing i remember from my own lengthy hospitalization it's that there's nothing at all to do in those places but post. i was posting 24 hours a day. you people probably thought i was on ketamine

spindlypete.bsky.social•1 day ago

i'm KIND OF excited? in a weird way? we have a very fancy high-end SUV rental because none of the available cars in the family fleet can fit all of us at once. and brian has the whole time off work, shoutout to everyone who voted for paid leave oregon, the real MVP

spindlypete.bsky.social•1 day ago

there will be a lot of waiting around killing time. and also a lot of time where i just need to keep my papa occupied outside of the hospital so mama can rest. he paces loudly when he's nervous. so we'll go to the park i think and the bookstore. invent some errands to run

papa i've just realized we have to go pick up all the cigarette butts in the parking deck! papa i just got a DM- there's a hurt seagull down by the riverfront and we need to bring it some bandaids. papa can you help me count all the electrical outlets in this mattress store? it's important

spindlypete.bsky.social•1 day ago

my mama is in stellar health and should be fine if her doctor is even remotely capable, and i've heard she's actually very good. lots of my friends' moms are retired nurses who worked with her and they all say she's the absolute best

spindlypete.bsky.social•1 day ago

one of them was like "oh all the anesthesiologists wanted to be on her team. i mean ANGIE BRUNKHAUSER worked with her" as if we were supposed to know that angie brunkhauser was a very well respected anesthesiologist in that hospital in the 90s when we were children and that was a mark of respect

👏👌✨ people underestimate how necessary this kind of flexible thinking, and frame setting is necessary in elder care. It's basically just Improv. you're finding something they can yes and

If she likes to watch TV, a lot of hospitals allow you to plug things like Roku devices into their TVs (if you can do it yourself, the nurses aren't experts on TV hooking-up) and get them onto their WiFi. This helped a lot during my chemotherapy.

spindlypete.bsky.social•1 day ago

she does NOT like to watch teevee which i'm sure is very healthy but very inconvenient in this specific scenario

linzbrwn2180.bsky.social•17 hours ago

Yes maam in 2023 I got my 2nd new mitral valve and a tricuspid in January because the 1st didn't hold up then in August I got another new mitral because my mechanical valve clotted..I had Rheumatic Fever as a kid and it did me bad..i went down at 39..most people only need 1 i guess I'm weird lol GL

Good luck mama! I see post op mitral valve repairs every day and they're all doing great and having no problems if that helps you feel a tiny bit less nervous. Here's to less leakage soon and a waiting room period that goes faster than you think it will!

spindlypete.bsky.social•1 day ago

yeah her doctor has sworn up and down that this will actually make her feel much better and more energetic! she's been so exhausted, taking two naps a day, we had no idea why. tbh i thought she was just getting lazy lol. turns out no

It’s not the reason I would have chosen to get lots of posts from you but at least that’s not the worst side effect. Hoping you only have to talk about how well it’s going and how bored you are.
