a new chapter has begun. the chapter of the painful arm has passed and now it's the chapter of the painful butt. mama's having bowel issues and her butt's real sore, makes it hard to clean and it's hard for her to poop. been changing her diapers very frequently these few days. clean, so pain. don't clean, infection. have to choose "the better of the evils", as my nurse-mom would say.

tagged along with dad to take her home after dialysis just now. hope she can be transferred to AMK soon. she looked like she was going to faint in the cab. the long journey is just not good for her.
