First, the very good news. Starr called this morning to tell me that the doctors have figured out exactly what she is suffering from: Microscopic Colitis. The short version is that it’s definitely intestinal and quite treatable; Starr will have to go on a 6-12 month course of medication, after which the problem will probably go away completely.<\/p>\n
Suddenly, my own breathing and heart rate are much improved.<\/p>\n
I ordered a pizza last night because I needed comfort food. Usually, I eat half of a large for dinner. Last night, I had to stop myself at three-quarters. Starving much? I tried to game a little to relax and get some endorphin production going, but my brain wasn’t functioning enough for anything more ambitious than the WoW fishing mini-game. Jumped from skill level 155 to 190 yup yup.<\/p>\n
I am not a fan of this early Daylight Savings thing. I hate getting up before the sun; just when I was getting used to seeing daylight out of my bedroom window, boom I’m back to darkness. Now I have to wait for the season to catch up again.<\/p>\n
Starr should be in for a few more days of observation. Thank you very much to everyone who has already, or is planning to call or visit. It’s been gold to us.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
