So far, not much to report today. The recovery from the surgery continues to go well and that's the best news every day. We're still waiting for seizures and won't know much more until they happen. There was no seizure activity yesterday. Josh is completely off his anti-seizure meds today, so we are cautiously optimistic: Optimistic that he will have at least one seizure and cautious because his seizure may generalize into a full-fledged tonic-clonic seizure.
Since I have no medical news to report, you will all be interested to know that Robyn and I ran out of clean clothes today, so we are doing our laundry. I will try not to air our dirty laundry on the blog anymore.

ReplyDeleteLOL - Thank goodness this isn't a smell-log!
ReplyDeleteThe stained clothes
The other day I was eating in an Italian restaurant when I accidentally spilled some spaghetti sauce on my favorite white sweater.
I wasn't too distressed, though, because Mr. Wong down on High Street has been doing my laundry for years, and I knew that he could remove just about any stain and get it out like it'd never been there.
So I took the sweater down to Wong's Laundry and dropped it off; Mr. Wong said he'd probably be able to have it cleaned by Thursday. So on Thursday afternoon after work I stopped by Wong's again.
Mr. Wong looked quite distressed when he saw me. He brought out the sweater and, apologizing profusely, explained that somehow this stain was beyond even his power to expunge.
And sure enough, though fainter than before, there was still a distinct red stain on the sweater. In an attempt to make up for his failure, Mr. Wong offered to send the sweater to his brother across town, who had been in the laundry business for an even longer time, and who might have a clue as to the method of removal of this extraordinarily persistent stain.
The elder Wong brother would rush it through at no extra charge, and should have it looking as white and clean as new by Friday. So on Friday I went back to Wong's to pick up my sweater, but when I arrived, Mr. Wong regretfully informed me that his brother, too, had failed to remove the red blotch. "No charge," said Wong, "but you must take sweater elsewhere to clean.
The Moral: ... Two Wongs cannot make a white."
Aside...
I am cautiously praying for a seizure (you know, going on the belief of "be careful for what you wish for", cautious).
Thanks so much, Lin! You made me smile :-))
ReplyDeleteI miss you, say hello to all the CDL folks for me.
Love, rob
Hi Robyn, Jerry and of course, Josh,
ReplyDeleteI am thinking of you all everyday and reading your blog too. It is so uplifting to hear about Josh and read comments from your family and friends. If it makes me feel good, I'm sure you're on air. Thanks for the blog, it really is great to keep so informed without even speaking. Things do sound positive, more than one would expect at this difficult time. Maybe, if Josh is up to it, I will take a drive in with Aunt Sandy this weekend. I will call and see.
Lots of love to all of you,
Cousin Laurie
