Things have just not been going well lately.
Sylvia's back in the hospital. She had trouble breathing Monday evening, and was unresponsive, so she was moved from the skilled nursing facility to the hospital. She then had to be put on a dopamine drip, as her blood pressure dropped to virtually zero during the night.
So now we're just waiting, not knowing exactly what to do. I spent about an hour with her yesterday (I'm just not good in hospitals), but Edie spent most of the day with her, and will go back again today.
There is definitely nothing harder than watching someone deteriorate so rapidly, and unable to do anything. Especially someone who still has their wits about them.
On top of that, business is slowing down at work. The plant only worked Monday this week, and on only one order. Hardly worth the effort [and cost] to fire up the boiler.
But worst of all, it's 41°F outside this morning. That's the coldest it's been in quite awhile, and just when I was getting used to the decent weather. I know it will be a little warmer along the coast, but that doesn't make it any easier to get motivated for a bike ride, which seems to be about the only thing that helps take my mind of everything that is going on.
Oh well, what are you going to do?
