Well, this has been one busy week! Daughter #1 has a drop in blood pressure which causes me to worry because she is on a certain medication that can cause strokes. So, I tell her to go to the doctor & she says that she will be fine, she just has to sleep. Hubby calls like he always does & I tell him about her. He tells me to tell her to go to the hospital because he works in one & knows alot of doctors. I tell him she says she will be fine, just let her sleep. All this happens while I am with my mother who is diabetic, does not take her medication, forgetful, doesn't wear her glasses, hard of hearing, & pains everywhere. I am also with my daughter (#2) who is due to have a baby any day. We go to the bank, Big Lots, grocery store, & Bob Evans for lunch. we then go to Daughter #2's house to drop off all baggage from the day. Heading home to drop my mother off at her house & hopefully go home myself. Daughter # 3 is in college having issues with scheduling & advisors & calls me in between all that is transpiring during the day. I calmly tell her what she should do & leave the rest up to her. Daughter #1 calls & says that she has to go to the bank & wants me to take her. We hurry to get home. I call to tell her we are 2 minutes away & she says she is on her way there already. Now, I start to worry more because no one is with her. She meets us at home & wants me to go to the store with her, she is driving. Sure, so I can keep an eye on her. We go to the store then to her house & finally "home"! Yay! I always tell my kids to call me when they get home so I know that they got home ok. Soooo.... I have to call everyone to find out if they got home alright. They tell me....oh, I got busy, I forgot.... What is a mother to do? say? Well.....
I make it through the day & all seems to turn out alright. I talk to all my kids & my mother & everything seems ok. Aaaaggghhhh!!! Hubby gets up from the chair & is in agonizing pain! He can't stand, let alone walk. He goes up to bed & takes ibuprofen. He doesn't sleep all night. Tossing & turning. He calls off work & makes an appointment with an orthopedic surgeon for 11:00. We go, thinking the worse case scenario. Well, he has a torn muscle behind his knee, has to stay off of it until Thursday, so that means no work until then. Off to get crutches & drop off doctor excuse for work. Finally, we get to go home, but first drop off script for pain pills. It will be done in an hour! Really? Hubby gets home & suppose to lay with ice under his knee. I get some lunch for him & where is he? Guess? On the computer! "What are you suppose to be doing?" I get a look & half _ _ _ smile. Ok, so here's your food, now get busy...eat...get some ice & lay down.
I forgot my cell because I needed to charge it. I check it & .......you guessed it! Daughters #1,2,&3 have been trying to call me. I had hubby call all of them to let them know that I left my phone home, but I still had calls from them.
So, to make my very long story short.... I am busy up until this very moment that I am blogging here. I can't beleive I got this much time to myself. Now that the grandkids & daughters # 4 & #5 are in here driving me crazy already! I guess it's time to stop for now! Can I go to sleep now??? Guess not.
