Hi @Former-Member, weekend's still going for us. There's some mutual skill sharing on this morning (plus a longer race that our family's not particpating in), and a few more sports events this afternoon. Younger Daughter and Younger Son both won a few ribbons in the sprint, novelty and relay style races. It's a beachside locale, so we used a free afternoon yesterday to wander in the shallows (brr cold but fun) and look at shells, jellyfish, starfish...
Got a minor injury yesterday- I'd brought with roller skates, because some of the event venues have suitable skating areas, and the organisers are reasonably relaxed about a little bit of "off program" activity happening, but I managed to fall backward with my thumb between me and a hard place, and did a minor dislocation. All back in its proper place now, and looks like I've come off lightly. It'll be bruised under the dressing I put on to immobiise it, but I don't think anything worse. I was fine without painkillers last night, so that's promising.
But am still very concerned about Older Daughter. She's in a very low state, and at this rate possibly won't be safe to discharge from the psych ward today. Have spoken with her on the phone every day. and also touched base with her assigned nurse a couple of times over comments that I thought were important to pass on to them. Blunt simple truth- we need her to find a reason to want to stay alive. She feels like it's all too impossibly hard at the moment, and I don't quite know how to counter that, because we've seen things slowly but steadily getting worse over time. We need her to "turn a corner" and start heading back up agan. 😞
Mum still in hospital too, so have been phoning her. Her doctors think her leg's improved somewhat, but sounds like there's still a way to go before the infection's all clear.
