I'm not really sure xtrchessreal. Day before yesterday the plan was to send him back to the nursing home yesterday. Instead they did two echocardiograms and we had difficulty keeping him awake for most of the day. His blood pressure was low enough they held off on dialysis. Never had that happen before. No one called me overnight, so it's hard to say. I prefer to wait until I'm there to get updates unless he's in the ICCU. I'll be sure to let you know later. :Love:

Is the problem worse on the lower/older leaves? It looks like a possible potassium deficiency.
PH fluctuation can cause that, too. If it is mostly on the top of the plant, make sure it isn't light/heat burn.
 
DailyUpdate: Dark Devil Auto - Day 75

One of the joys of having so many different plants going is that you open the tent every morning and invariably someone new is clamoring to be seen. Today
Not to be left behind, Auto Destroyer is keeping pace. that was the Auto a Jock Horror x Auto Amnesia. She screamed to be heard. :laugh:

Just look at all this excitement she's putting out. She's the first one to take on that excitable HB kit look. Hahaha! Do you all have any idea how freaking psyched I am this morning? Just to add to it - pre-flowers!!!

Yep! Getting a head start on flowering. :cheesygrinsmiley:

In this profile shot of the youngsters they're right here front and center, AJHxAA on the left and Auto Destroyer on the right. Both, along with the tall Bag Seed are working on their 5th nodes. The other two are a node behind.

That Kalasnikova is going to have to go. :straightface: Maybe I can make myself do that over the weekend.

The Cheese Candy is stunning - energetic and vigorous with the most beautiful leaves. Remember how the Devil's leaves felt like cashmere? Same thing with this baby.

The Dark Devil is tired of waiting, so let's give her the spotlight. I'll just step aside and let you all have fun looking.

One last peek in before closing up for the day.

The Devil got her 1/4 turn and both LOS reservoirs got topped off. The Devils pot is drinking about 6 cups a day on average. It just occurred to me that with another plant in there with her I can't depend on a fall off in thirst as an indicator that we're reaching the harvest window. :laugh:

The new LED panel should be here by next Thursday. I still need to put the T8s together. Maybe tonight.

I think that's all I have right now. You all have the most joy-filled day you can. I'm certainly going to do my best. Dale goes back to the nursing home today and they've figured out that if they put him in a room with two others his quality of life can slip just a bit more.

That's my exasperation with this turn of events sneaking out. I have no control over this situation, but you can be sure Dale's going to make me feel like I am responsible for it. I know it's only his frustration talking, but that can still be hard to deflect. I could use those virtual hugs guys. This feels rough going in.

I'm going to do my best to be light, bubbly and understanding. Thank goodness I have some decent sleep behind me. Think I got another hour last night. Oh joy! Oh rapture! Oh bliss! Hey, I'll take whatever I can get. :battingeyelashes:
 
hugs and best wishes for you and dale this morning
 
About Dale..... We are aware this is an end-of-life stage, aren't we?? They won't be releasing him from the hospital this weekend. He's too weak and disoriented. His blood pressure was so low yesterday that they drained his dialysis solution and left him dry overnight, so they've just restarted that. Because he was dry so long the toxins are out of control in his bloodstream, so today I get my first look at what the end will be like. When he's had enough the plan is to stop dialysis and wait. No one was prepared for how quickly his system deteoriated overnight.

He may recover from this, but today he's actually hallucinating and lacks fine motor control. We've begun arrangements to initiate palliative care. Geez. I can't believe I wrote that. It took a full ten minutes to start writing again. I'm ok, and we'll be ok. This is a tricky emotional minefield that I am capable of negotiating. I know I can do this with some semblance of grace. The job of palliative care is to guide me through this stage assuring a decent quality of life for Dale.

There is really no way to prepare for this is there? One step, one moment, one day at a time.

Good God, I love this man.

Yes it is Rad. Thanks for the hugs. Needed that.
 
will say prayer to the winds that his passing is with grace and dignity
 
The end is never easy, Sue. I hope Dale makes a full recovery, but if it is not to be, faster is better than slower. I've seen both ways more than I want.
Virtual hug. :Love:

Thank you Major. :Love:
 
All the signs in the universe seem to be pointing in the same direction. Change is THE one constant. We cannot control what we cannot control. Do not look inward, look forward. Let these thoughts embrace you. (((((Sue:Love:))))) We will be here...you know that already.
