Update(s)

Not much new to report. They have started Irene on some pain meds and have increased the dosage on a regular basis to keep her comfortable. She still has her phone but has difficulty answering it - and often doesn't want to talk for very long as she is groggy from the meds.

I'll be having surgery on 10/27 - so poor Mike is really having to deal with a handful, what with preparing for that (he'll need to be with me the first day and of course will be there for a couple of days beyond that, at the least.)

Plus - fall is here, the leaves will be falling soon. Been a rough year for him!
