Both had a rough night... hers exacerbated with terrible shoulder pain....Waiting for the doctor still. Daughter and Sister in law to arrive so I can go home for a respite. Hopefull ��

[Danik 2016]

Hopefully the doctor arrives quickly. What is the problem with her shoulder?

[tailor STATELY]

She has fallen twice this week for one shoulder and her repaired shoulder is failing. She's been having falls for several years now and some medications and anesthesia cause the severe non-seizure seizures which will cause her BP to appear sometimes over 200 bpm, but we're reassued that it's not a true reading. She will have the seizure- type things without med or anesthesia at home too. No one knows why.

[Danik 2016]

Strange!The doctors probably have some kind of diagnosis to prescribe the med. Is her doctor a neurologist?

My wife finally saw a neurologist who stopped her from being discharged by a GP when she had a bad episode just prior to leaving (she is spending another night).

"May the year that is dawning"."The New Year" by Anonymous
https://discoverpoetry.com/poems/anonymous/the-new-year/

[tailor STATELY]

May the year that is dawning
So fresh and so pure,
Be full of the pleasures
That always endure.

The sunshine of love,
The joy of kind deeds,
The brightness of smiles
That the sad world so needs.

The kindly word uttered,
The angry unspoken:
The merry heart's laughter,
To heal the hearts broken.

And when the New Year
Has grown old and gray,
May you give it back spotless
And pure as today.... Now there's a poem worthy of kicking off 2026 :)
