My husband was just now admitted to the ER for possible renal failure. Thank goodness he was a patient at the VA and they caught it right away when he was catheterized today. If he had been here at home and I was the one doing the cathing, I would not have known that the symptoms meant anything important.

There. I feel better now that I have put it "out there".

Thanks for your support. They say stuff happens in 3s. The third thing was that I fell down today. Was trying to sit on a marble bench, misjudged its placement thanks to bifocals, and sat down on thin air.

The only thing damaged was my dignity.

So it gets better from here on, right?
