Mrs Android Is Not Well ...

It's been over a week since we went to the Emerg.

Today she got a hold of her rheumatologist who told her to increase her 
prednisone to 60 mg per day.

She's experiencing a great deal of discomfort.  The inflammation around 
her heart and lung is bad.  We went to the family doctor yesterday for 
help in the pain management but so far it hasn't kicked in.  She's 
unable to do anything unassisted.

I had to call the owner this morning and get him to go in to cover for 
me tonight.  I like the guy.  But I don't think he wants to cover for 
me.  I hate asking him to.

I've been doing the usual dance of frustration with my kids trying to 
get them to 'just do what I ask' ... asking for help becomes this 
idiotic discussion of what the other sibling does or does not do ... I 
remind them with some passion that it is ONLY ME that's asking for help.

Last night I was sweating my guts out in a 100F bakery working like a 
dog arguing with my 14 yr old over the phone to spend 20 mins in our air 
conditioned kitchen to wash the ****ing dishes ... to my great dismay I 
came home to a sink full of unwashed dishes.

My stress levels are not in a good place.

Mrs A's employer (Feds) suggested she consider medical retirement.  It'd 
be 70% of her current earnings.

Yes, it will pass.

But I just really hate going thru all of this right this very moment.
