Health update on my ex-husband
The summary version: he’s (knock wood) doing a great deal better.
The major crisis – which lasted about four months and required three or four visits to the ER (I forget exactly how many), one hospital stay of several days, and about two and a half weeks in rehab – has mercifully passed. He still has a chronic degenerative illness plus a few other major odds and ends. But for now the intense new problems have mostly receded and he’s once again living successfully on his own – with a little nagging from me, of course.
I’m very grateful for all your prayers and good wishes.

Wow!
This is so great to read!!
Good news! So glad.
Very glad to hear!
Glad to hear that.
Great news!
(Keep up the nagging. It’ll keep him honest…and, more important, from a therapeutic POV, chuckling…)
Thanks for sharing the good news.
I think others have mentioned before what a marvelous thing it is, especially in our self-obsessed world, that he and you still have a relationship such that he could call on you for help in a crisis, and receive it.
God bless you both with strength and healing.
And thanks as well for keeping up the blog, although I’m sure not a single commenter would have complained if you had hung up a “closed” sign for the duration, or even on occasional days.
A couple of extra “Open Threads” would still generate a lot of conversation!
That’s very good news.
You’ve served well as nurse and nag!
Seems we all need both from time to time.
Prayers continue…
Very glad to hear this!
Very glad to hear this, Neo!
Speaking of “therapeutic”, if your attitude towards Covid-19 is that it was just another elaborate work of Narrative Narishkeit(TM) AND that Dr. “Follow-the-Science (Over-a-Cliff)” Fauci is its High Priest, you’re probably ripe to get a kick out of this (i.e., if you’re not aware of it already):

Such pleasant news.
Healthy aging means to maximize gains and minimize losses.
You are a good woman — he’s very fortunate to have your friendship!
Good to hear. And bless your loving soul for caring enough to care for him when he needed it and to nag him a little now!
Thanks for the good news, Neo. We hope it continues.
Being a caregiver (and nag) can be stressful, so do take time for yourself. We Neophiles would understand if a reduced blogging schedule is needed.

Great news!
I continue to be moved by your love and loyalty for your ex-husband.
Great news, thanks for keeping us informed!
He’s so lucky to have you!
Indeed, ditto! — what others have already said. Smile …
I’m very glad for his stabilizing. First you both!
And in awe of all you do, Neo.
Xoxo
Wonderful news. Continued blessings, I pray.
This is very welcome news, I am happy for you both.
You are a great ex-spouse.
