Hello! I've not been here much in the last couple of weeks..I have been reading some and just not having time to respond. Here is what I have been up to! I had to make an emergency trip to Indy last week to help my grandparents. Grandma took a bad fall, at the grocery store, and wound up with a sprained wrist, bruises, and a cut lip. She was pretty shook up. That was on Sat. the 7th. on sunday, she fell at home again, and was crawling on the floor to get to the phone, and ended up just laying on the floor and refusing to let my grandpa call anyone. She wasnt hurt, she just couldnt get back up and grandpa cant lift her. He has a heart condition and isnt able to lift much of anything. Grandma only weighs 120 lbs!! . He is also almost deaf so he cant use the phone. He did go to the apartment office and the office gal called my aunt in Florida to tell her what happened. She called my dad, and he called me. I am the closest relative and I am 1 1/2 hours away. So I left work, packed a bag and drove over to Indy. She finally let me call 911 to get her to the hospital to find out why she has been falling down a lot lately.Her vitals were wonderful for a woman of 85 who doesnt take anything but a water pill and vitamins....She is fine, thank God!! I stayed overnight with grandpa until my aunt arrived from Florida to take over. She doesn't fly, so they had to drive all the way here. Now she is in a rehab place to rebuild her strength. We still dont know exactly what happened to her, if anything. They were both so confused as to what happened on what day....We did find out that she had not been eating for two days because she wasnt hungry, and she was dehydrated too. Grandpa isnt able to take care of her, so they are going to be forced to make some changes in the way they live day to day. I wish I was closer to be able to go everyday and check on them. Keep them in your prayers for a solution !
On my way home from Indy, my son called and said he got in a wreck on his way to work..his first wreck! He was shook up but not hurt, just a little sore, so my drive home really stressed me out from worrying about him! The other driver was ticketed. She hit the rear end of a semi and her car went up in the air and landed on top of the right front of his car. She had minor injuries and thank GOD she didnt have a passenger in her car. We are still waiting on the insurance company..He took his car, a 95 Neon, to a body shop for an estimate...over $3000 damage...and it will probably get totaled. Then, on the same day, my cellphone antennae broke!! I had no reception on the way home from Indy, and it was storming badly, and tornado warnings were out...GEEZ... what else could happen? $50 deductible and I got a new phone on Friday. The first of the month week and Easter week was really busy at work, and that is an understatement!! I always get asked if I get sick of decorating cakes, or get bored with it...and usually I say no. but DANG...last week I think I could have said YES! get me out of here! LOL Prom is almost here, Graduation is coming, and my oldest DS is a senior...I still cant believe it..I have so much to do to get ready...including fitting in time to scrap..I want to do a little book for DS, but I dont have high hopes on getting that done. =( Well thanks for letting me ramble! I have missed the chatter and will try to catch up!! ((hugs)) Linda
