Well we had an exciting morning, if you want to call it that. I heard Rick get up around 11a; i could hear him behind me doing his routine. The next thing i heard was a small crash; he had fallen and couldn’t get up. I was screaming for Chuck to help me get him up. After getting him to the sofa, i called 9-1-1; Five EMTs were here in about 3 mins. We think he had a mini-stroke/TIA; 3 EMTs were talking to him; he couldn’t remember his name — that’s what almost sent me over the edge. Here… Read more »

Chuck’s home, Rick’s being sent to the full-size hospital, Parkview, in Pueblo tonight. He really can’t stand on his own. They brought him a good meal, chicken fried steak, mashed potatoes and fried okra that he had to eat with his left hand.

Oh my, what a day you have had Pam.. (((hugs))
So scary and then you have to snap to attention and make the right decisions.
I am glad Rick got the proper care and is doing so much better. I will keep him in my prayers for good recovery.
Yes, I am the same way. During the emergency I am strong, but after emergency part is over…. I fall apart. 😥
Take care and hope you and Chuck have a calm, relaxing evening.

I don’t think I told the story yet….so I was in the kitchen at FIL’s house, getting a piece of pizza and chatting with the caregivers…was going to go back into the living room and could not believe my eyes!! DS was walking in and I was in total shock! We had texted a few days before and I was saying how he’s far away..and my sister just left so she wouldn’t be coming. There is a video on his FB page of him walking in. I was in shock and so surprised for quite awhile! and there’s more..he almost… Read more »

Hello 💙 A stormy day here in PA. Forecast says we will have severe storms throughout the day. Gusty winds and some flooding too. Storms will be of the hit or miss variety. Hope they miss us. I am going to check the radar and take my shower early this morning. Storms will be worst towards evening. DH has been bringing up items I had on laundry shelf….that he has no clue what they are for.😄 When he does the laundry the only products he uses is liquid laundry detergent, 20 mule team borax, and vinegar for rinse cycle. He… Read more »

We had our book and coffee meeting today because of people’s schedules. 2 of us were virtual and three were in person. Had to leave early for my massage appt which is nearby. Did I mention that my diaphragm is sore from the sneezing fit I had last week? I know that can happen because of coughing, but never had it before from sneezing. Then went to Costco, then to regular grocery store, then to pharmacy to get prescription. Home for a late lunch. Worked on finishing up (almost) some bookkeeping and payroll and excise taxes for one client, and… Read more »
