Hi GANG!
Very interesting day here for me.
Got a message reply on my iPhone from my dear friend Elaine.
I wondered why I hadn't heard back from her about a Bird Feeder set-up I sent pictures to her of. WELL.......
The girl is in the hospital.
She was disoriented when I was talking to her the other day, and I SHOULD HAVE PICKED UP ON IT and DIDN'T. I won't let that happen again.
It's a long story, and I jump to the chase. She called her neighbor, Margaret, and Margaret had enough sense to call EMS. Off to the hospital about 1 mile from her house. (imagine how much that cost).
Seems like all her electrolytes were dangerously low. They put her on IV's and heart monitor and gave her some type of "Equilibrium" pill. Well, the pill made her hallucinate and she saw little kids poking sticks at her and jumping on her bed. LORDY, poor thing. It took 2 days to get out of her system. ADD that to the DO NOT TAKE list.
So, I went to the hospital, after talking to her nurse to see if it was okay, and spent 4.5 hours with her. The got her a room in the local rehab and I helped her get dressed while we waited for the transfer van to get there. She was transferred to a Rehab facility to have them work on getting her to walk again. Seems she lost all the STRENGTH in her legs. (Sound familiar Pat).
I was glad I was able to help her. Her daughter is flying in from Santa Barabara on the RED EYE!
Lee: I did make it to the light shoppe before I went to see Elaine. The nice lady brought out 2 HUGE boxes (she couldn't even carry one of them, a guy had to bring it out) of spare RODS. Well, out of about 100 rods not one was the right color. "OLDE BRONZE". Which you would swear was BLACK until you put it next to a BLACK ROD.
Can't order them until Monday. She said it shouldn't be too long to get the rods since they can DROP SHIP them to our house. Joy, Joy.
I came home and made us Fresh Chicken Salad sandwiches and corn on the cob. We had plenty of chicken left over from yesterday and it was quick, easy and good.
Now I'm off to hit the COUCH. Too much stress for one day.
Never did get to run around and look for my flats of flowers. Oh well, what I did was way more important.
Nite gang.
We look like we will have a BEAUTY of a STORM coming by soon. Let's hope it misses us.
