LOL, John, this is me lightened up!

My daughter's transplant buddy, a darling 12-year-old girl, came home on hospice last week, after immediately rejecting the second of two heart transplants she's received in the past six months. Her doctors have said that there's no point in listing her for a third--her antibodies are just too haywire, so she'll just reject that one, too. She's had her milrinone PICC line removed because she really wanted to go swimming with her siblings. She'll probably die in the next few days, if she hasn't already--we're still waiting for news.

So yeah, I'm distracting myself by focusing on trivial kerfuffles like this one.
