parental health teeter-totter

When one is healthy, the other is not. The health fairy gets a lump of coal this year, for sure!

Thomas had an appointment today and found that his glucose was on average in a three-month study, so that's good. He was low on sodium because of a medication increase, so the doc put him on non-diuretic diovan to hopefully address this issue.

Lois spent 16 hours in bed -- ill, pukey, nausiated, groggy -- all around yucky. She perked up a bit in the evening, but not wholly. Thanksgiving next week might be interesting or disappointing. We are to pick up Betty who has spent Thanksgiving with the family for a few years now. She's an older woman -- friend of family, who has done bible study with Lois. The more I know of her -- the more she bugs me, so I try not to know too much.

Anyway, the family (Beth and family, Debbie and family, Diane and family) are plugging along with situations here and there and troubles not always of their making.

Sometime, Marcus will rampage the town out of frustration with job hunting. He has had two invites to spend money to get jobs. He hasn't comitted to anything.
