I helped transfer my wife's aunt from the nursing home to the new retirement home. She was in the nursing home on a special time-limited program to get better after some issues but instead got worse.

The transfer took most of the day... had to move her, her stuff, set up the toilet, get her settled, stuff like that.

The retirement home is nice. I hope it works out. Will be visiting almost every day like we did the nursing home, except this is much, much closer.

A friend of mine said he got depressed for about 3 days and it dissipated on its own (he doesn't have MI). He asked whether I feel like he did all the time and I said pretty much. He said that it must be horrible and is happy to be out of his depression, also said he can't imagine coping with that for months on end. I feel bad that he had to go through that but at the same time, I feel good that he has a better understanding of what depression is like.

I got a wasp sting 2 days ago on one of my fingers and now the swelling is spreading to the rest of my finger. Reading online, it looks like this could go on for another few days. Whenever I have an iced coffee I keep my finger on the cold cup...feels so much better!

Mood wise I'm feeling ok. Low but manageable. Counting down the days to when I see my pdoc next (2 weeks to go).
