It’s been a hard day, with the death of Jean, compounded with my forced realization of just how crippled I am. (I had tickets for “Walkuere” at Covent Garden, with my former colleague Emily Magee, and had to give them up because I cannot stay on by myself.)
Well, my cats will be happy to see me tomorrow night! Prayer would be appreciated for all of us.

You continue in my prayers every day. I know you wouldn't have missed seeing your namesake in Die Walküre if there had been any way for you to have seen it.
<votive> Please pray for the repose of the soul of Charlie, age 20, who died in a car accident on his way back to college, and for his devastated family.
Praying for all here. 🕯
Please remember J, who will be having cancer surgery soon. 🕯 She told the surgeon she wants to still be able to talk and sing. The surgeon told her he just wants to save her life.
For the repose of the soul of Jean, and Charlie, and for comfort for their families. Lord have mercy.
For Mr. Chopped and the Chopped family, such a strain.
Thanks to everyone who offered suggestions about pain relief. The Telemum had this information but is never able to remember any of it (never has been, she says it's old age, but it's not). That, and a combination of being half mad with pain, led to the mistake. She did get it officially sorted out when I freaked out about it.
She's in intense pain now as I write this so please, may her pain be relieved right now. She is not even able to walk around the house right now. I am very worried that she could fall. There are moments when it seems like we're on top of the pain relief but it always turns out to be one step ahead of her.
She went to one scan last week, which I did not accompany her to because I had an important meeting and it didn't seem like she would get any new information. But she did let drop that they were going to operate on *both* legs in succession.
I will go with her to an MRI tomorrow and I guess then we have the looong loooong loooooooooooooooooong wait for surgery, which I am praying will only be a balloon angioplasty and not a bypass.
Cousin Dearheart is awaiting biopsy results. TBH if it's not one extremely fatal thing, it will probably be something else extremely fatal. I don't really know how to summon such faith as would be helpful.
Problem Cat has virtually stopped coughing, so I guess he doesn't have asthma? That's a relief.
Meanwhile I have to stay on top of my work, finances, etc.
Lovely news, Galilit. May the Lord bless him and keep him, May the Lord make His face to shine upon him, and be gracious unto him. May the Lord lift up His countenance upon him and give him peace.
For Ross to get back to the opera where she belongs. Stat.
For the Chopped family.
For Gee D’s L, for healing.
Something about how the nurses apply the Telemum’s bandage is causing her extreme pain, so she thinks. Whereas she had one good day last week, of almost normal activity, when they bandaged it right. The difference is like night and day. The way she is now, she can barely take a step. I am reluctant to leave her alone for any length of time now, in case she falls (I told her to keep a mobile phone charged and on her person at all times, but I don’t know if she’ll do that).
She had her MRA today and she needed a lot of help to get into and out of the car. While inside the scanner she had to straighten her leg and she told me afterwards that she was screaming in pain the entire time (I was out of earshot).
So I guess it will be a long long week or so, say seven days, which is 168 hours while we wait for a letter and then another week or so of 168 unbelievably LONG hours, while we wait for an appointment with the consultant to discuss the far far far far far far distant possibility of eventually, a very very very very long long long long long long long long long long time from now, having the first of the surgery she has needed for the past six long long long months, and I don’t know what condition she’s going to be in by then.
I need prayer (but don't I always?) The procedure I was supposed to have tomorrow has been canceled, because my oncologist says it's too much risk for too little possible benefit. Instead, since I'm a "severe fall risk," I'm being sentenced to a wheelchair. I have much to research, and much to decide.

Can you please pray for my teenage son, the Giraffe, who is just finding being teenaged so hard and lacks focus.
May she rest in peace and rise in glory.

It’s back to TrumpLand tomorrow. Ugh.
