Mercury in Retrograde

[thatguy]

Per your other post, if we're going to go there, in addition to the above, my mother informed me for the first time that she's had diarrhea for the last month. She's lost a bunch of weight since her last stay in the hospital and hasn't had any appetite, so we've been trying hard to get calories into her. Sigh

My friend who is helping out with caregiving tasks on some of the days when I'm not there says that it's quite possibly a side affect of her blood pressure meds. So I need to message her doctor (who is currently on vacation) about that via the stellar pre-Y2K era messaging system that Kaiser offers. 

Remember in Swimming to Cambodia when Spaulding Grey talks about the quaintness of the Russian Navy submariners talking thru tubes...well Kaiser's messaging system could benefit from an upgrade like that.
