beanside | You're living in America leave your conscience at the tone

It's day 2 of thw weekend boogaloo! Today, I have very little on my adgenda aside from going to get my shorts from the mall, and probably driving my sister up to do laundry. Yesterday, I got most of my errands done. I went and visited dad, who is doing about the same. He's still not quite all there, and his oxygen levels just won't stay where they're supposed to be. They had him on just oxyden when I went in, but it kept droppping every few minutes. He'd get it up to 92 or so and then a few seconds later, it would be down to 80, so they put him back onto the cpap machine, which blows air at you to try to force you to take deep breaths. That seems to work, combined with it being hooked to oxygen. All he's doing is sleeping. I've been haunting the patient portal to watch his results, but as of yet the doctor hasn't called us to give us an update on what they all mean. I think Jess is going to try to get over there by like 10am, since the doctors usually do rounds at 10:30-11.

I hate the way the system is set up. If you can't be there all day every day, you get no information. No one calls, the nurse gives you vague answers that tell you nothing at all, especially when the question really is "How soon are you assholes planning to release him?" It's just infuriating as a caretaker. In my mind, he's definitely not ready to come home. In theirs? Who fucking knows?

I also picked up my glasses, which look cute, but have the bifocal in a slightly different place. I'm not sure I like them. My others came as well, and they fit really well and are comfortable, but they're a no line bifocal, which I'm struggling with. Also the frame is much larger than I thought, so I feel a little self conscious in them. These, to be exact.. The outer frame is much larger than I thought. But they're still cute, and I will probably start weearing them.

And then it was time for Jess and I to go out to lunch with my friend L from 911, which was a lovely time. I got the same thing as last time, which was an enormous prime rib steak with a pile of crab imperial on top. It was so tasty. I ate all that I could, and it didn't look like I'd touched it. My sister got the rest for dinner.

After that, I had a bit of a headache, so I decided to go lay down afterwards, and I did not get up til about 7am this morning. Head feels much better today.

Okay, I need more coffee, so I'm going to sign this off now. I hope everyone has a wonderful Sunday!
