Mom is doing okay

She will be in the hospital for a few days. They did amputate the toe today but the residuum looked good so hopefully they got all the infection. They're keeping her there until the bone cultures come back and they can give her some IV antibiotics (especially since the bactrim she was on was depressing kidney function).

She's in good enough spirits. 'are you happy now?' Well yes and no, sorry you lost more toe, Mom but yes I'm glad it's done. I've been after her to have it prophylactically amputated for a few years now before it became an emergency... because I've seen far too many times, patient doesn't want to lose a toe and in 36 hours they're losing the leg.

I know my students dislike the written component of my exams but without it I would have only had ONE student out of 10 pass today. With the written component 7 passed. Also I don't know how I don't just give up.

What I Just Finished Reading:

Hormones, Hexes, & Exes by J.C. Blake magic and menopause and basically popcorn that needs way more worldbuilding.

What I am Currently Reading:

Another Fine Mess - this is odd. Good but odd

Silent Evidence by Clea Koff, a new series, FBI/private forensic specialists who do missing persons cases. So far so good (it's a good palate cleanser from all those cozy mysteries I read)



What I Plan to Read Next: back to my popsugar book list
