Oh, Shit!!
Me darlin' wife 
donkey_hokey is not doing well. Neither of us went to work today, as she was hurting too bad to be able to do much of anything. I got her to the InstaCare, which is kind of like a less critical Emergency Room resource they have out here that people can get into quickly. I had to damn near carry her out to the car and in because she was hurting so bad, mainly hands and feet.
I really wish that the pharmacy would've had a wheelchair, 'cause it's a long shuffle from the front door back to where the prescriptions are filled. I'm used to being in pain myself, but hearing her hurting like this is something else entirely. I'm glad I'm here to help, though. I can't imagine how she'd be able to do that on her own, much less drive.
I won't be going to work tomorrow, either, except for long enough to pick up some stuff I can work on at home. I'm really hoping the meds they prescribed are going to help out. One thing I'm glad for is that I tend to go cold emotionally in a crisis, meaning I could handle it just fine 'til we got home and she got to sleep. I'm also glad we still have the little radios we'd gotten on our 10-year anniversary trip, so it'll be easier for her to let me know when she needs something.
Sorry this is kinda disjointed. I'm not exactly the clearest myself right now. Keep your fingers crossed, eh?
