Apparently, when it comes to pain patches, 25 + 25 does NOT equal 50... so there mathematicians! As we mentioned, Kathie's pain patch was upped this past week, to double (or 50)... or so we thought. Since Kathie still had some of the 25 patches, she decided to try to put two of those on (since the 50 micro something or another is a HUGE patch and the 25 is less than half its size)... turns out this is not a good solution. She overdosed a bit on the pain meds, got dizzy and nauseous, at which point they felt they had nothing to lose by removing those two and putting on the one ginomo (*yes, another one of Lauren's made-up words) patch. Just to double check though, Eddie made a call to Dr. Aklilu's nurse practitioner and found out that the two small patches did not equal the one larger one. Again, when we figure out why the math doesn't work here, we'll let you know. Pythagoras is rolling in his grave though, I assure you.
As for other "exciting" news... Lynette and her girls, Chris and Mom have been staying with Ed and Melissa for a few days while the last coat on the wood floors is airing out. Sophie and Kait were excited to rejoin their cousins (who they were sad to see go last Sunday). Emily is like a little mother-hen for them and it is adorable. Leigh (one of Kathie's friends), her son, Scott, and his girlfriend, Katie have come and gone within a few days last week. They were a great help at the house while they were there.
Alec has a bball game tomorrow morning, so Kathie hit the hay early this evening so she is ready to cheer tomorrow.
