jennlk- results of ultrasound are back. No muscle or tendon damage, significant fluid buildup in the joint (causing the swelling and 'bruise-style' pain), and arthritis (which the doc looked for, but apparently it's a non-typical presentation). Since weakness & pain still exist despite the splint, I get to go for an MRI. (I hate thumb MRIs.) Meanwhile, as there's no hematoma/bruising, I can take NSAIDS.
- BC is in the hospital with bacterial pneumonia. She's had some upper respiratory ick for a while, and kept going to urgent care, but apparently none of the docs she saw actually *listened* to her lungs. She tested negative three times for COVID and twice for Flu. Monday AM she was apparently shaking with chills and running a high fever so her family dragged her to the hospital, where she was admitted as soon as they could find a bed. At last word, she was responding to the IV antibiotics, and she might get to go home tomorrow *IF* she will rest there. So I spent some time on the phone today with the twp supervisor making interim plans for getting the bills paid while she's out. We'd (treasurers and clerks) had already planned to run around to the local banks to get my signature on file so I can sign checks on Thursday, so that will happen as planned. The only uncertainty is how long it will take my accounting account to be updated to "this user can write checks".
- worked a funeral meal at the church. it was the new pastor's first experience of a NLUMC funeral meal, and she was impressed. Left here at 1115, got home at 1515. I got (good) baked chicken and ham to bring home, and a bowl of fruit salad (bereaved family got dibs on leftovers, but there were still some.)

Date: 2025-02-26 10:50 pm (UTC)Bacterial pneumonia is awful. I had it three times, and they always tell you that "it's viral" and "wait it out." After 8 months the first time and much less time suffering the subsequent editions, I demanded a Z-Pac and was fine shortly thereafter. I am sorry that she is having such a rough time.
