Thursday evening last week when I got home from work Bud told me to put my things away and come outside to talk to him. I wondered what was going on, but just put my purse inside then went outside to join him in the lawn.
He then informed me that he had called the doctor and wanted to get in to see him because his left leg was hurting so badly, and that he could hardly walk on it. But they didn't seem to be able to get him in for about two weeks since our doctor had been out ill himself. He wanted to know if I would go to the emergency room with him since he could hardly walk on that leg.
So 5:30 p.m we were at DMH emergency. Got registered and they took us in for him to be seen by the doctor there. After blood work, and lots of waiting. They came in to do an ultra sound of the leg that was hurting. We knew there was something going on (even tho they can't tell you anything), The guy who was doing the ultra sound---talked to one of his coworkers which stopped in and did some looking also. They kept logging things, and I just knew ----- Before the doctor ever came in to tell us. We were pretty sure that he had a blood clot. The good news was the clot was in the vein closest to he surface and not in the artery. Had it been in the artery they would have slapped him upstairs in no time flat. But since it was in a smaller vein - they injected him with a big, big shot straight into the belly. He said it really stung...Oh, well, gotta do what you gotta do. Also told him he should probably wear those wonderful white TEC hose (Look like white support pantie hose).... I was giggling about how he would look wearing his white hose and his brown shorts.... Even the nurse had to snicker when he told her that I should have to leave I was being mean to him.
He has been wearing those ugly TEC hose since then. And I am going to insist that he wear them when he does his long trips driving and flying.
Sunday Morning he leaves for California with a car and flys home on Thursday afternoon.
On Friday evening after work I headed to Bloomington/Normal. Kim had ask that I would come up and watch Kenley so her and Clay could do some packing since their house is almost done and she hadn't really started packing. And with her being pregnant I do not want her lifting things.
That's what Grandmas are for isn't it to help with little ones and enjoy them?
She is a little busy body. Using her blanket as a cape and carrying the monitor.
Giving Grandma those I didn't do it looks.
And not holding still so Grandma could get good pictures.
We tried to get one of her and me, but at that point it simply was not going to happen.
Taking our monkey and teddy and playing in looking in the mirror on closet door.
After nap---Mommy let her watch Elmo on TV.
She was ignoring Grandma---like she was saying....Grandma mommy doesn't let me watch much TV I gotta see this.
Finally I did get her to peak at me while she was watching her Elmo and enjoying her snack.
Later we went to the park. She loves the swing. And my brother had called me so I was on the phone and daddy was pushing her. I missed it when she said "Grandma"...
Oh, well, am sure she will say it in the next couple weeks.
In the morning when we stopped by the new house, so they could show me the colors of the rooms and progress of it being completed. When we got to her purple room and she was showing me her bedroom we were able to pick her up and get a "Grandma and Me" photo. I love this photo even tho my hair is a mess!
So cute in her little piggy tails. She loves dancing in her closet and wanted us to join her and she closed the door. In the guest bedroom she run to the closet and squatted to look thru the register hole that goes into the master bedroom closet and started calling Mommy and Daddy to see her through the vent.
So stinking cute!
This coming Friday--- I am only working till noon, then I head up their way to see the ultra sound of Grandbaby number 2.... Then I plan on staying the night and helping finish the packing.
We were able to pack up the blue glass in the spare bedroom when Kenley was taking her nap. So their house is looking more and more like the new house best be done soon.
