Thank you everyone who has emailed me or sent me a comment post throughout LJ - it gives a weird warm feeling that people who have never met you care how your life is going.
Dad is okay - we got his regular doctor to write him another physical therapy script and so for the past two months he's had that at home a couple times a week. There hasn't been much progress with it and he had is last visit yesterday - he says he does the exercises in bed before he gets up every morning and he tells me he walks during the day around the house but there has been no visible progress in his mobility. He still walks like Tim Conway in that old Carol Burnette skit and is very very unsteady. He uses the cane around the house instead of the walker but I think that is just pure cussedness and not any real improvement. He improved so much right after the hip broke that he was walking better after than before and now he is worse that before he broke it. Not entirely unrelated the physical therapist this time was a guy instead of a cute girl.
Brother took him to the follow-up with the lung cancer doctor on Thursday. Dad had a PET scan last week and they had to drag him into the office to give him the results - can't tell people over the phone because you can't charge them - which okay, fine but he waited three hours from his appointment time and still had not seen the doctor. They had to leave - on because brother does have a life and two because the old man was trying to wheel himself out (we make him use a wheelchair in the hospital because the corridors are so long) since about the first hour of waiting.
So we still don't know how the lung mass looks - did it shrink? Did it grow? What's the next step? He still has to see another skin doctor about that cancer - and people wonder why I never get sun, obviously they've never seen someone get pieces of their face sliced off. Hopefully brother can talk them into charging for the visit that never happened and releasing the results over the phone.
Live is busy but good. I have a seminar to go to this weekend but I'm get finishing up the second NYC chapter of Reconciliation and think that there may be 3 NYC chapters, I thought I could do it in two but… not. I really want to get back to Farmingdale. I love that town, Madlori really made it breath and it's such a fun place to play - anyone can go to New York but only those of us privileged to read Madlori get to see Farmingdale.
I've been indulging a good bit of my free time in reading rather than writing just because I'm tired when I get home. Other than 'TCJ' and 'Zero at the Bone', I found a lovely long WIP in the Buffyverse called 'Thralls' by Ne'chin over at WWOMB - well I found it elsewhere but that's where I found the last 10 chapters… its up to 96 and still going…hopefully.
