1. I'm glad they were able to stop it right away, my dear Kali...

and please tell your husband Thank You for the photos!

Everything is so dry, it's scary.

[Tuesday Afternoon]

2. Yay for RAIN. Boo for Slurry.

Glad to see you back, Kali

[Kali]

4. we have already had and inch and 28/100 at the house!

I guess if it takes me being trapped indoors (in a freaking hospital, no less) I will take the rain!

[Tuesday Afternoon]

5. please take care of your self, Kali.

Don't take this lightly.

[Kali]

7. I know.

scared me a bit, truthfully. mostly not being able to pin the source very well.

[Tuesday Afternoon]

8. did you, by chance, have woundvac at some point?

[Kali]

9. yeah I did

they had to take it off/out because I was still bleeding in a couple spots. I think they are going to try it again on Monday.

trippy technology, I had never heard or seen it before.

[Tuesday Afternoon]

10. Kali. Wound care is my area of expertise. Please. Consider going somewhere for care.

DO NOT TRY TO HANDLE THIS AT HOME.

PM me.

[Kali]

11. hee hee, must be my bad ass rep...

seriously - I am NOT even going home, no way. Still deciding on location, but leaning to going up to my sister's.

[Tuesday Afternoon]

12. yes, someplace close to a family member. so if you need an advocate you will

have her to stand for you.

Yes, Kali, please stay close to her.

She will come visit and stuff right? and bring you little things you might need. right?

[Kali]

13. I just sent you a PM

[Tuesday Afternoon]

16. yes, reading it now. look for a reply momentarily. n/t

[Ptah]

3. Yikes!

Glad it didn't get any closer.

[Kali]

6. I have no idea what was burning up there, 'cause there sure ain't much grass left!

must be beargrass.

14. To Kali, From seabeyond =

kali.... thinking about you, wishing speedy recovery. glad you are being well taken care of. i appreciate your update for us. and thank you for the pictures. that was so interesting and a fun share.

of course, the dog got the correct count of vehicles, right?

[Kali]

17. aw, thanks sea!

I heard you got sent to the corner again. You enjoy the summer, and let some of these trolls eat themselves!

15. Kali--I heard you were under the weather--get well..

Where are you? Sierra Vista?
I'm jealous about the amount of rain you have gotten. Maybe one half inch here. Starting to sprinkle again tonight. That'll make four days in a row. I went outside and made sure that the windows on my pick-up were down. That helps bring the rain.
Get well, and if you are nearby, I'll come visit, OK?

[Kali]

18. nah, I am at TMC in Tucson

May head to Tempe if/when they kick me out.

I hear ya on the open windows. I do NOT recommend trying what seemed to work for me this year - getting stuck in the hospital during the first storms.

19. I'm sorry to here about this.

I hope you feel better soon. Let me know how you're doing, Kali, I care about you and you are one of the very few online people I actually 'like'-- you must have an awesome personality, because it shines through.

[Kali]

20. awww this makes me blush

I am honored, as I admire you and the way you handle yourself around here a lot. I am doing pretty good today and they may kick me out tomorrow already!

Haven't had the energy to participate in MIRT yet though. Maybe in a couple days after I get settled for the next stage. Sorry to the fellow MIRTers.
