It's That Time of Year Again, 11th Edition

[Mamorien]

Further Update: My brother and my older nephew came over from Maryland to help clear some space in our living room so we can fold out the sofa-bed (thus sparing dad the need to cope with stairs whenever he gets to come home), and to visit dad in the hospital (he made a few attempts to get out of bed, which I discouraged as not wanting to have to help him up, and I frequently had to adjust the position of his left arm because the drip-feed was getting blocked). When I can stand to feel things about it, I'll let you know what those things are.
