Kinked Hose and Hand Fed Man...

This is where our day should have been spent instead of listening to people gab loudly in a quiet zone, watching nurses walk by pushing covered bodies with funny hats, and waiting for the waiting to be over.

They plumbed and found a kink in hubby's vein and unkinked it with a stint and all was well.  Over quickly and back in recovery before I went crazier than I am.  I am not a good waiter...for anything.  I'm a do it now and let's get it over.  However, since I was not a surgeon or a nurse or an admitter, I was left with the waiting.

Having had happy juice pumped into his veins awhile, hubby mumbled a little, drank a Dr Pepper, talked but did not remember much until lunch. I ran to Walmart to get some for him because the kitchen did not have them (remind me to be in a hospital that has DPs).  When I showed back up, he thought I had gone home. 

There his lunch sat twelve feet away for a man who cannot sit up yet...I rolled it over and fed him like a little boy.  He cleaned his plate except for the green beans so he was allowed dessert...angel food cake.  He should be home tomorrow if the nurses have no reason to press charges by morning.

The lake was beautiful as I passed by on my way home to boys and a messy house and still with a toothache...but hubby's plumbing has been inspected, repaired and approved so all is good.
Thank you for your prayers.

Today...

Kubota King is checking in for new heart plumbing.  He has had pneumonia but heart doc says, no prob!  I have written DNR on his chest in permanent marker and nothing he's tried will remove it.  Keep us in your thoughts, please.

Sunday, the only thing that saved this man from me was my walk.  Even though it was hot, it was peaceful, relaxing and allowed me to shed my murderous intentions.
These are the rocks hubby brought me for the entry, hoping to get on my good side. Notice how perfectly they fit together!  Notice, once again, the dumb damsel is wearing flip flops during forest exploration.
We did some exploring,
enjoyed the beautiful skies,
flowers,
and butterflies.

After my relaxing walk, I did help remove the permanent marker so we are good to go, today.

Confirmation...Hubby Has A Heart!

Driving himself to the doctor this afternoon, hubby was transported by ambulance AGAIN to the hospital!  This time, they discovered he had a heart and installed some new plumbing.  He's fine, the surgery only took fifty-nine minutes beginning to end.  With his new pipe and a temporary pacemaker, he is already picking on the nurses.  He will be on double clot cleaner overnight and we will see what happens tomorrow.  Hubby wants to come home.  If wishes were horses, we would all ride!
