Tuesday -workday, post-vacation

A very necessary vacation. Was chauffered there and back by Daniel. Had lots of private time each day, for sittings and much guitar playing. Cooked some good meals, had great times with the boys; swimming. kayaking, hanging out. The weather turned chilly by the end of the week, but it was OK.

K staayed home, with Sandy moving in for the week. She had a bad time of it, medically, but was stubborn and did not see a doctor until the end of the week. Yesterday she had some more blood tests and saw a Nefrologist, a kidney specialist, who seems to finally have a diagnosis for her - SIADH, which stands for "Syndrome of Inappropriate Secretion of Anti Diuretic". A combination of being over medicated and drinking too much fluids has lowered her sodium levels periodically to critical levels. In the recent past, when she was hospitalized, they were able to regulate her diet and fluids, but she's not so good about what she eats and drinks when she's home. We'll now stay on top of this. More to come, I'm sure.

It's good to be back at work, actually. 2 incidents yesterday need to be processed; pointed sticks, not to be ignored. Also more to come.
