Seems to all come at once...

Dad is doing pretty well. He has clots "from ankle to groin," so they're monitoring him closely and he is on IV anticoagulants. I talked to him today. He sounded better than Mom. There is an umbrella-like device they're talking about placing in his vein (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inferior_vena_cava_filter) when this is all over. He's not thrilled about the surgical support stockings. I don't blame him. I had to wear them for almost 10 years, before I had last summer's surgeries. Still, they beat the alternative!

DD is doing well on Prozac. That was the first antidepressant that helped me years ago. She doesn't seem to be bothered by side effects, for which I am grateful. She has a counselor she likes. This is also very helpful.

DDs 2 & 3 have their days. We just had several crises on top of each other. Things seem to be mellowing out a bit.

I get lots of support from dear friends and DH. I appreciate the kind words/thoughts here as well. I haven't been riding much, what with terrible weather and just trying to cope with all the other stuff. I need to get back into the habit. It is a good stress relief for me, and I really feel it when I miss too many days.
