I promised him I wouldn't abandon him...

It's been, what, a week and a half since Craig entered rehab? This past week has been a flurry of activity for him, most of it medical and mental health screenings, and he's not doing as well as he had hoped. His blood sugar is all over the place, he's still having issues eating without nausea, and they had to remove a polyp from his sinuses.

He's an addict; there was a question of whether he should take pain medication afterward or not. He didn't think it mattered, because it's been a long time since he was able to feel anything from narcotics; I'm guessing that's because his liver is probably barely functioning.

In any case, he feels like shit, sounds worse, and needs someone. So tomorrow Char and I are heading out for a few days, for moral support if nothing else. I don't know what we can do for him other than talk to his doctors and find out how he's really doing, and then just be there for him, but that might be all he needs right now.
