Sunday Sunday

Today is June 12th.  A week has passed since Graini-Mom's horrible fall.  Life has gone on.  The in-laws have celebrated their 61st wedding anniversary; Hubby and I have celebrated our 31st; Master College Girl has celebrated her 25th birthday; Mum-in-law has celebrated her ??? birthday; and we all celebrated on Saturday!  It was good to be with family.  It was good to laugh. 

 Did I mention that the in-laws have had their own medical issues???  My mum-in-law recently had her gall bladder removed. The Dr said it was close to rupturing and she possibly would not be here today.  My pops-in-law's blood pressure soared one day to 200/100 (not sure if it was on his home BP machine or the Dr's....I'll have to investigate!).  So....yeah.....glad to be with the family this weekend.  Life is precious.

Now for a zen moment.....

I'd rather be on the beach!

I've gotten into fairy gardening.  I love this beach scene.  I want to purchase a little rake so I can rake the sand and "ommmmm."  I need more zen moments and less stress moments.


Mom and Me update:  She went to the ENT last Monday.  Sure'nuff there WAS blood IN the left ear.  The right ear/jaw seemed fine but he was concerned about the left ear.  Unfortunately the CatScan done at the hospital did not show all the way to the ear.  They just took a frontal picture.  So, the ENT ordered another CT scan....of course!  The dried blood in the ear, he thought, was a burst blood vessel from when she fell and jarred her jaw back into that space.  He mentioned seeing her aneurysm coil and I laughed "from your exam? That doesn't sound good!"  "Mom, he can see straight through; you really ARE losing your mind!"  Disclaimer:  you DO have to laugh about some things!!!  And PS**he saw her files and the CT scan.  Her coil was not falling out of her head and into her ears!  ;)  So we left that ENT with a smile on our faces (he would wait for the CT scan but did not think her jaw was broken.).

Funny thing:  he stuck 2 "wicks" in her left ear to help the ear drops reach where they needed to go.  Mom kept saying "there's something in my ear."  I reminded her of the wicks to help the ear drop meds.  At Subway I went to get her a drink and when I got back PLOP...something fell to the ground.  I looked and yes, you guessed it....2 little bloody ear wicks!  bahahahahahaha  So much for the medicine getting to where it needs to go.  You're on your own, ear drops!  Tomorrow we head back to the ENT so I'll have that to report and I haven't mentioned her oral surgeon appointment!  Poor woman- hardly spent any time at Drs' offices in her younger days (the only time she was in the hospital was 50+ years ago having children).  I guess she is making up for lost time.

I do believe everyone needs some zen moments....especially if you have this guy!

who? me???
