What a week it has been already! The old saying, "when it rains, it pours" has seemed to hold true this week. Here's a quick run-down of this week's highlights...
-My grandmother has been sick and having problems with her blood pressure & heart. She saw a local doctor on Monday who found a heart blockage & he set her up an appointment to see a heart specialist in Macon on Friday. However, Tuesday morning, she seemed to get worse & was rushed to Macon. She had sonograms & an EKG ran which all looked pretty good, but has a stress test scheduled for tomorrow morning to see the extent of the blockage. Please keep her in your prayers. She is the glue that holds our family together & the rock that we always lean on!
-While washing some of Eric's hunting clothes this week, I missed cleaning out one of his jacket pockets. In it was a pack doe urine wafers. Well, needless to say, our washer smelled really nice when I pulled out the clothes to swap them to the dryer. I did 3 "clean washer" cycles with bleach to try to get the smell out, but every load of clothes I wash comes out smelling like doe urine. I'm just waiting to be attached by a buck each time I walk outside!
-The reason I was washing Eric's hunting clothes in the first place was because he left Sunday on ANOTHER hunting trip. This time he's in Louisiana with a group of friends duck hunting. So, with everything going on, he's out of state...which makes it even more stressful!
-I had another biopsy appointment yesterday which went well. I took Molly with me to have her looked over. The new places on her leg that have been a mystery to me over the last couple of months are some type of warts which were the result of a scratch. We have some new cream that will bring them to a blister & they will peel off...she's not too happy about all that!
-I've been trying to plan our Colorado vacation which we're hoping to go on sometime next month. But, wow...that's one expensive place to visit! I'm having a hard time finding us a place to stay & airline tickets are going up everyday. They've already gone up $125 per ticket since last Friday! Also, I'm a little concerned about IF we will be able to go, because of our newest "hurdle" this week...
Yes, Miss "Graceful" has broken the growth plate in her big toe! We spent from 7am-5pm between the ER and the doctor's office Monday. She had her cast put on that day & she'll get it off tomorrow morning. They'll put her in a post-operative boot tomorrow which she'll have to wear for another 2 weeks. The hardest part is that she cannot put ANY weight on it for 3 weeks if we want to avoid surgery...which means I've been carrying her everywhere. I took her stroller with her to school yesterday which made it easier for the teachers to get her back & forth to lunch. But, it has definitely been an adventure trying to keep a 4 year-old off of her feet.
Needless to say, I'm ready for the weekend!
