In honour of Shark Week on the Discovery Channel, I'll be using this icon as my default all week. Love the shark! I watched this evening's kick off (Primal Fear, or some such) sitting in my overstuffed chair and clutching the enormous Great White I bought at the aquarium with Miss Robin and Saint Rick. The new shark's name is David Byrne, which brings my great joy.

Last night's sex toy fundraiser went fairly well. Not only did I successfully navigate my big-ass Cadillac through the streets of Philadelphia on my own (and parked it!), I brought in about $170 total. It was about three in the morning by the time I dragged my sorry ass into bed, but a good time was had and I met scores of fabulous new people.

The hard mass...hrm. Wait.
I seem to have lost an entry somewhere. I was about to reference an entry I had written the other day regarding my mother, but it seems to have disappeared into the ether. At any rate, my mother's foot has been swollen for the past week or so. They finally did an ultrasound on it and concluded that she had a small blood clot. Late Friday night, she was taken from the nursing home to the ER with me in attendance. At about three in the morning, she kicked me out of the hospital as I was falling asleep. Yesterday, they put in some sort of filter to fix this problem, but I'm unsure what's going on at the moment. She's still at the hospital as I write this and will hopefully be released tomorrow.

Now, what the fuck happened to that entry?! grr.

I was going to drop you an email or call to let you know, in case you had missed the commercials, that this week was Shark Week. Hope you enjoy every single evening of it, clutching your Great White.

Thankfully the nursing home FOUND the blood clot, those things can be extremely dangerous. How did the meeting at the nursing home go the other day? Are they talking about releasing her any time soon, or chemo or anything? Is she, scratch that, was she able to get around prior to the blood clot? And, last question, I promise, did the hospital social worker get her hooked up for Medicaid so that she has some medical coverage once she gets released, for doctor visits, chemo treatments, etc.?

Are they talking about releasing her any time soon, or chemo or anything?

Nope.
She's done rehab on the 28th (though I don't know what's up now, since she's been in the hospital and missing rehab). After that, they want to keep her for an indefinite period.

Is she, scratch that, was she able to get around prior to the blood clot?

Not really, no. Only a few steps.

And, last question, I promise, did the hospital social worker get her hooked up for Medicaid so that she has some medical coverage once she gets released, for doctor visits, chemo treatments, etc.?

No. As of right now, she still has medical coverage. But, I don't know for how much longer that will hold out. She did get approved for $210 a month from welfare, however. Nothing about Medicaid so far, though.

IT'S WHEEZY!!!!!!!

I <3 Wheezy.

David Byrne is ten times Wheezy's size, though. This makes for much better television watching.
