D’s coming back from the big city this afternoon! This took some finagling, because he’s got a drain in his liver that needs daily servicing, and no home care nurses will work this far out. So he’s going into the little hospital in the town about 35 miles away for now. No word on how long that’ll last, or for that matter on what (other than “an infection”) is actually wrong with him. I gather that since he’s being released, they’ve stopped talking about cutting him open and excising that abscessed part of his liver. I’m not a doctor etc., but that sounded like a dangerously bad idea to me.
Also, this is what you get when you take 12 pallets of various sizes and types apart and then pile them up…

That last one has been at the bottom of a stack for several years and most of it isn’t anything you’d want in or even near your house. So I decided to leave it there and let it keep being the bottom of the stack until I’m done stacking things there.
















































That’s good news indeed about D. Against the odds, someone did something right in that big hospital. And he obviously had the will to live. Yes, cutting him open might have been necessary, but I’m glad it wasn’t.
That pallet looks like spider country. And not the cute little blood poisoning ones, the necrosis of the flesh kind.
Joel, what about your own wound healing issues? Have you got an appointment with a specialist somewhere?
