COOKOUT THAT WASN'T

Today we were going to have a cookout at my parents when a half hour before we are suppose to arrive, my mother calls telling me she is at the hospital. Here I am thinking that she took my dad (a whole other story) and here it is for her.

She had tried moving a end table that she didn't even have empty and heard something crack...of course she is in a great amount of pain. So, my dad takes her to the hospital....10 hours later she is finally released. The verdict is that she did not break any bones but she has a mass above where the pain site is... They feel that she a blood clot or bruise or even some torn ligaments so they had to check her platelets before they can released her...she is on her way home now with a prescription for some pain medicine and a request to call her doctor in the am.

But back to the cookout so why my mother is gone, my sisters decide to go up in shifts. My sister(the nurse)goes up first....so my dad comes home. Then the other sister(nursing home management)goes up. So,the nurse comes back to my parents by this time we have set up the appetizers. Well, we decided instead of hot dogs and hamburgers we end up having just hot dogs. We ended up eating inside as the temp was unbearable. After dinner my brother goes up and does his shift...and it worked out that I didn't have to go up..(yeah me)



It is late and I am going to bed (I am opening up in the morning and have to be there at 6:30 am) (yuck)....Just for the record, daughter #1 is still complaining about wanting to come home...doesn't she see is staying there until the 27th. Have a great evening....and lets hope tomorrow is a better day
