Sympathy for the Spouse
Apr. 10th, 2026 10:10 pmGretchen notes that in the responses to yesterday's post there was absolutely no one who was sympathizing with the surgery to remove her wisdom tooth yesterday. This is what happens when I write a long technical discussion as part of the post, it seems.
Gretchen's stomach today decided that it would demonstrate why sympathy was in order. One of the pills that she was taking seems to have produced some extreme stomach upset and -- well, dynamic disassembly of the contents of the stomach onto the floor. More than once.
Dinner was some egg noodles that I boiled for her and that has stayed put so far, which is a major improvement.
Gretchen suspects that the problem was with the hydrocodone pain reliever, which she is now omitting from the regimen.
We'll see how things go.
