The Cold that Won't End...and the Drugs that Hate You

[liz_marcs]

I want to thank everyone who gave advice on my dad's upcoming knee surgery. You've helped more than I can ever express. For a start, it helped him decide to go to rehab after the surgery, rather than coming straight home after the hospital. (He was torn leaning toward "take me home" before on the issue.)

I swear, I'll get around to thank everyone, but right now I'm a little doped up (*heeeee!*) due to Sudafed. Normally, Sudafed doesn't whack me out, but I spent all last night sniffing and blowing my nose while my sinuses decided to drain like a leaky faucet. So, I had zero sleep.

Was that above paragraph TMI? I'm pretty sure it was, but like I said...Doped. To. The. Gills. Or possibly so tired that I can't see straight.

I have continued to take my daily photos, but I have zero energy to go through the whole process of transferring photos, uploading them, and then linking.

I'll an under-the-cut post spanning Friday-Saturday-Sunday tomorrow. Assuming that I'll even be able to see straight, which might not be the case.

On the upside, the Sudafed is working. *eyes bed* And I'm thinking an "early to sleep" deal tonight because being up for nearly 24 hours straight because you're sick falls into the realm of "no fun."

I'm glad he decided for interim rehab. I didn't comment because I don't have direct experience, but my boss had his hip replaced a year ago, and swears he never would have been able to care for himself, or regain the necessary movement in his body, without their assistance directly after surgery. I wish Dad!Marcs the best of luck with it!

Edited to say, feel better soon! Duh, I meant to include that in the first place =P

I hope the sudafed helps. Maybe that doesn't seem like TMi to me because I was an EMT for about ten years and there is no bodily fluid I have not been spattered with.

I thought of you as we were driving from the Arsenal Mall back into Central Square and I was looking at the frozen crust on the Charles.

Go to bed, and get some sleep.
Hope you feel lots better tomorrow!

Hope you feel better (as a fellow doped-up illness sufferer) and that your Dad responds well to the surgery and rehab.

That really doesn't TMI-squick me. To be honest, some of the stuff my flist has come up with has basically rendered me immune to TMI.
