Well back online anyway, I'm still at my folks until very late Monday (the 1000 mile drive takes a full day after all, especially if the border crossings are busy). Since I'm using a dial up the Roh Takakura and stuff had best wait until I get back to my broadband connection. :)
Dad's back to his usual ornery self. He was actually doing much better before I even managed to get here. They debrided the wound and put a vacuum dressing on it rather than amputate, which is a very good thing. There will be visiting nurses coming in once or twice a week for the wound vac and the IV antibiotics, mostly for insurance purposes since mom is trained for both (this is not the first time he's had either of them). Ironically I've been serving more as a nursemaid and chauffeur for my brother, shuttling him off to assorted appointments for his back (and now his knee). While I'm sure they could use another able driver here I think I have enough cousins in this town to cover the job rather than keeping me around.
When I get home I'll see how many chapters of Sakende I'm behind, and what else I was following that I'm behind on. Though from what I've seen in your LJ I might have to do pitiful eyes at other folks for stuff on YD that I missed. Though I suspect the good stuff will show up on crimsonevening eventually. ;)
