I'm writing this from the family room of the Foothills Medical Center. I have been here since Friday afternoon. My heart was hurting, so I thought I better check it out. You might remember that it broke about 2 1/2 years ago ... Trying to figure out if it broke more. Meanwhile, I am very bored. Seems like being in this place has made me sicker, what with all the drugs they are giving me. Want to go home so I can feel better. And of course, there are 3 little people who need me there. Oh well, God knows what's best and I trust that He will straighten all this out.
Really I am a model patient, but boredom does tempt one to get into a little mischief! Like last night I was texting in the dark, under my blankies, so as not to be caught by the nurse. I was going to say "big bad nurse", but that would be totally unfair. She's quite average in size and seems to be a very good nurse. I've had her for three nights in a row! I am also finding myself, as always, craving contraband food! Like a great BIG double double from Tim Horton's or a BIG Mac from "you know where" (minus the fries, I've got to think of my heart for Heaven's sake!), or a BIG bowl of Vietnamese noodles from the Vietnamese restaurant next to my place. Are you catching the "BIG" theme I've got going with regard to food? I'm not really complaining about the food, just about the size of the food! But really, it is a good time to pare down my serving sizes. It is Christmas and I challenged L'Dene to lose 10 lbs. before January 1st. (what the hell was I thinking?!)
Lily was here with me today, but had to call my sis to come get her earlier than planned. The poor little thing has had to withstand formula for the last 3 days. She is not a happy girl! Poor little belly is not feeling so good. Needless to say, she was fussy and the man across the hall kept yelling to shut my door, he couldn't stand the noise! LOL! Poor old fart!
Plotting my next escapade into mischief .... hmmm ... might try doing wheelies in the hallway in a wheelchair. Maybe the night nurses will be up for some races?????
Hi Wendy,
ReplyDeleteLove all your blogs...they're all so wholesome and funny and hilarious. I adore you. Please never be any different then who you are!
I have a blog too, but I was only writing about things that interest me. I had no followers. It was about History of the Church and the liturgy....snore huh? hee hee
Luv ya! Rob
Oh Wendy. Sorry to hear you are not feeling well. Hope you get it figured out soon! Prayers and healing thoughts. Jennifer
ReplyDeleteYou continue to crack me up, even when you are in the hospital:-) I laughed so hard when I received your text this morning!! We are praying you hear good news tomorrow. Scott had a rough evening and so we are praying he can make it until after the funeral tomorrow. I have to say I had a great day and I enjoyed seeing my family~cousins I haven't seen for over 10 years. Take care and text anytime and as for the weight loss~someone made the BEST turtles I have ever ate and well damn it I was at my Grandpa's viewing and I maybe ate 5....and then they sent the platter home with us and I had a few more!! Love Ya, L'Dene
ReplyDeleteI'm not Anonymous!
ReplyDeleteI didn't know your heart broke, a couple years ago! I can understand it, though; someone with a heart as big as yours, that's always full of kindness for others...it's bound to give way a little.
Weight loss challenges are nearly always ill-fated...good luck!
Hope you feel better soon, my friend.
