Well we were supposed to fly out today for a week of sunshine and Tequila in Mexico. Saturday evening we were out at a function and my dear wife fainted while walking back from the dance floor. Got taken to emerg. and they determined that the electrical impulses that are supposed to go from the top of the heart to the bottom are not firing properly. It was not a stroke or a heart attack. So now she sits in the hospital waiting for more tests. The good thing is that this happened here at home, instead of on the plane or in Mexico. This is probably a good wake-up call for us to change our lifestyle and eating habits as we are both carrying around extra pounds. Luckily we had cancellation insurance.
Then to make sure my life doesn't get too boring, my two sisters spent much of this past weekend with our father in emerg. at the other local hospital.....he's 89 and pretty shaky....he fell on Saturday in his room and banged one of his two replacement knees to the point where you couldn't touch the knee without him screaming in pain, and he has a bad toe that was an ugly colour with some sort of infection running from the toe up into his foot. Of course at that age he also has very poor circulation, so that doesn't help. There are no beds at that hospital for him so they are keeping him in a cubicle in emerg....probably most of the week from what they tell us....needless to say he is not a happy camper. At least the knee is O.K. and the meds that they have him on are improving the toe and infection.
Well I'm off to more visiting at a hospital!! Fun week of vacation!!
