R.I.P. Straight Shooter

Good Morning World from my hospital bed in Plainsville!

Long time no hear from I know. Here's why:
  • Had a hysterectomy. (don't need any more Sweet and Loving Spawn)

  • Had major bladder repair. (hopefully, no more spontaneous piddling on the floor)

  • Big Shooter took aforementioned Sweet Spawn to Idaho to hang with their beloved Grammie while I recuperated...

  • While BS was 5 states away, I threw a couple pulmonary embolisms.

  • Started to bleed to death.

  • Crashed.

  • Went to ICU.

  • Got stabilized.

  • Started to bleed to death.

  • Crashed.

  • Stopped breathing.

  • Went to ICU.

  • Crashed.

  • Stayed in ICU.

  • Now stable on blood thinners.

  • Third week in hospital.
Nothing new and exciting going on here. How about you?
Love Note to my Other Spouse: Saucy Sashi, how to thank you for never letting my hand go during the first scare? Keeping me calm, lifting me up in prayer, being my spouse until BS could return? You literally saved my life. You're a hero.
Love Note to Big Shooter: Where to begin? Thank you for rushing back to be by my side? Thank you for never stop talking so I could hear your voice in those scary, scary times? Thank you for sleeping on a rock hard sofa(ish) for weeks and never uttering a complaint just so your presence can be a comfort to me? Thank you for being a rock? An anchor? My life preserver?
