Well, SHIT

Dad's not doing very well. His kidneys are failing - we thought it might be a reaction to his diabetes meds, but his creatine levels are sky-high after a weekend off the metformin, so... My brother gave me the best advice I've ever gotten last week: Treat every day we have with Dad as a bonus and a blessing, because we don't know how much longer we have. And that's so very, very true. Obsessing over every symptom or change isn't going to do anything but make me sick - it probably already has, I'm pretty sure the headache I've had for a few days is a sinus infection...

On the bright side, BrotherB helped me rewire the power supply on my beloved Monster laptop, and it's working again!
