Soup!!! Yelling! Great news!
Everyone should have a morphine drip....
So happy for update!!!
But Diane---I can think of far less frightening weight loss programs.

I knew it: she never liked you either. It's nice that she now has the strength to tell you at last. Best wishes for Monday, when you'll get your chance to yell right back at her in person.
(edgar sings) Beautiful soup . . .
We'll try and get a phone call into the Lady and Gent today.
Well she can now go pee by herself, she is only hooked up to oxygen but still in isolation. She thinks she is coming home tomorrow but I doubt it.
All in all she is feeling pretty good.
Dys, could she have yelled at you because of the soup, too hot or too tasteless? Can you take some Sunday morning menudo or pozole to her from a Mexican restaurant, and have some yourself?
Man, that's an idea for me. I'm going out to buy some now.

Yeah, I doubt it too. But it's good to know she feels well enough to think it's possible. Or the morphine is making her goofy.
Glad she's feeling pretty good.
My hoper is still in overdrive. Hoping Dys gets to see Diane on Monday!
Thank goodness things are heading in the right direction again!
Dys,
Good signs are very welcome. Good for Diane with the yelling. We should all be yelling at you for smoking anywhere, but especially in the garage. Please tell her if I haven't already by the time you next speak that I hope when she gets out with enough energy to manage, I want her to yell at Bernie too. Maybe everyone could yell at Bernie as well. He smokes on the balcony.
Love to Diane. And yell yell yell at Dys. We love you both.
Well, I've been plenty askeert a couple of times lately, once when I didn't post on it, but am back to extremely optimistic.
I don't want Diane to come home tomorrow, I want the oxygen as stabilized as it can be and for her to have a couple of more in-hospital conferences with Dr. Big Guy. I don't want Dys and Di all worried and having to rush her back two days later. But that's me.
She'll have a good story to tell here on her most recent conversation with Dr. Big.
I've talked with Dys since he last posted, but it's for him to tell you any tidbits he wants.
I'm fixing up one of my aprons, which all have a bib and neck band as well as a front-of-skirt piece and waist tie -- in this case a sort of lightweight one from the magazine La Cucina Italiana - I think the better ones are too heavy.* I'm adding a pillow with 4 velcro holdons to the apron which will have the other half of the velcro...
all to ward off any Sallydog pounces. Sally will be needy for Diane, thus the concern.
I don't know if it'll work, but it should be fractionally easier than holding onto a pillow x hours of the day. Perhaps not the best fashion.
*I don't wear aprons for cooking, though I was raised in that era. I wear one, over and over and over, to paint, thus the others are virgin aprons.
Osso, your sweet thoughtfulness makes me smile.
Ooooooooooooooommmmmmmmm
Just got off the phone with Diane, who sounds GOOD. She asked me to add some more yelling about the smoking. (The pot calling the kettle black, in my case.)
I told her that all the yelling, screaming, talking, cajoling, etc., ain't gonna make a bit of difference. A smoker smokes until he or she decides to stop. Nothing that anybody says makes any difference. She said to yell for her anyway.
I've done my bit.
Smiling. She sounds GOOD.
Yes! to Roberta..
I'd like to add that we don't want all calling Diane, especially not in the evening. Heretofore, calls have exhausted her, though she has been on the lonely side in isolation. The times I talked with her, she called me.
That was on purpose, to give her the choice.
Robbie is, I think, her dearest friend, and I'm glad they talked. Diane asked for one other person to call, whom I think dys will notify.
Presumably she is advancing, and calls may be more welcome - but for now, she is still in isolation and still watched heavily.
Calling dys is also problematic. He has had little sleep over these last five or more days. Surely more, but the five days most recently.
I remember some number like eight hours in the last three days, at some point. I, for example, wait until he calls me, almost always, as sleep is precious for him.
Let me recommend PMs, yet again.
Both of them like and are envigorated by your all calling, but... really, give them a choice to deal with it. Dys will, according to Diane, answer the phone no matter what, assuming he hears it.
Let him choose, use PM. The guy is very very sleep deprived (I say not knowing about the last bunch of hours).
Diane can pee by herself? Wonderfuf. That's one of my goals in life.
Oh, I pee just fine by myself.
I just don't always get out of bed first.
Glad to hear Diane's sounding better. I hope Dys will let us know when all of her other bodily functionings are operational. That will surely help her get home faster.
