How about I buy you all some marshmallow Peeps every year?
Gram is in the hospital. Last year it was Richard. What's wrong with staying home for a holiday?!?!?! She went from the local hospital to one of the bigger hospitals. She was having a pain in her back, which the docs though could actually be a pain in her lung, which could be a blood clot. Some bloodwork indicated levels of something-or-other that indicates the possibility of a clot, so they were to do some testing. She spent most of the day yesterday waiting for these tests, and not being given any of her regular medications or breathing treatments. So by the time they finally got around to doing the test, she felt like crap and was having trouble breathing. So, I guess they are going to try again tomorrow. I'm seriously wondering if they have a clue up there.
Dave's already learned of my wishes, that if I am in that city and something goes wrong, I'd rather take may chances making it home and go to our hospital. At least I'd spend the waiting in my own car instead of sitting in some hospital lab all day while they decide what to do with me and when. (Mom spent the whole time in gram's room, waiting for them to bring her back). Seems that there has been a LOT of waiting involved between Terri, Richard and Gram up there. HELLO?!?! These are heart attacks, chest pains, and blood clots. Last I heard, these were life threatening conditions! (But then, I haven't been through medical school - so what do I know?
Anyhow, they did give her some kind of medicine to help break of the clot if there is one, until they get time to do the test. But then what if it is gone by then? I think they are trying to make money....
Back to those Peeps... If you promise to not end up in the hospital for your Easter tradition, I'll get ya some Peeps. Any takers?
