Here’s the trailer for Zoolander 2.  It looks really really really really ridiculously good looking.

Seven years ago today I took a bold step out of blogging in private and moved up to blogging in public.  This is the seventh anniversary of my decision to stop writing on myspace and start writing on blogger.  I think it was four or five years after that when I ported everything from Blogger to WordPress.com.

I just looked back at some of the original posts (which are mostly marked as private here) and saw one big difference between my blogging then and now.

I used to write much, much longer posts.  Sometimes at least.  I mean that blogger debut post was like war and peace or something.  It was so long!

Anyway, happy birthday to The Importance of Being Rob.  Many happy and lame and poorly written returns.

Patches the HipstaKitty missed us during our five day hospital stay.  She’s glad the boy is home, and so are we all. 

 

We just had a visit from a visiting nurse.  She came to make sure our shit was together.  It most totally was together.  She was very impressed.

More importantly, an insulin dose has been administered in our house.  My wife drew it and my step son injected himself.

I’m still pretty nervous about everything, but at the same time I am confident that this disease isn’t going to slow that boy down at all.

Our shit is most definitely together.

Check out the dude riding the girder being lifted by a crane. 

 

There is one bathroom inPediatrics that has a shower.  I couldn’t stand being near myself any longer so I went and used it at about 5am this morning.

Why is that a big deal?

Because the bathroom door doesn’t lock!  

D’OH!

  

We took my step son to the hospital on Friday.  We knew he was sick, but we had no idea how bad it was.  He was an undiagnosed type 1 diabetic.  He’d actually been showing obvious symptoms for a couple of weeks, but even with two parents and two step parents watching him each day, the obvious symptoms didn’t register.  

Each day in the hospital has been better than the previous day, by huge amounts, but he’s not quite ready to go home.  They are still trying to nail down the appropriate starting dose for his long acting insulin.  Also, all four adults have to demonstrate that they are capable of running his blood sugar tests and insulin injections.  We’ve all done blood sugar tests on ourselves (mine was normal which, given my weight, is kind of amazing) and two of us have given injections.  I’m up at breakfast today.

Hopefully they will discharge us today, but I sort of expect one more night.  Wish us luck.

  

There is a rumored Dunks on the first floor.  Found it.

  

We are out of the ICU.  Still not well, but getting better.
