Last month, we had to move my FIL in with us. His Alzheimers is getting a little worse, usually revolving around his car. We have made several trips to OKC, OK, to retrieve his car from where he had forgotten it or thought it was broken down. Talking 5 1/2 trip one way, and lots of UHaul rentals. Well, the last one involved the police, so his apartment at the Baptist Village was revoked, and he moved here with us, with the approval of the other 7 brothers and sisters.
No problem, we rearranged our home and got him settled in. He is doing well.
I have a bad cataract in one eye, so I can't drive. My Hubby has been driving us in to work. Well, someone needs to be here 24/7, so I had to battle work to get Family Medical Leave as I have no leave left. But I finally got it.
So, I saw the Dr. and have an appointment for cataract surgery on the 19th of May, and will take a few days to practice driving again. Then hubby will quit his lower-paying-job-than-mine, and I will return to work
So two days ago, my 20+year old umbilical hernia started to hurt. By Tuesday, it was hard and hot with infection-like symptoms. Off to the Dr., who sceduled me for a look-see by a specialist this morning. Who promptly diagnosed me with 'Incarcerated (strangulated) Umbilical Hernia and I had emergency surgery at noon today. All went well, and I am home on some cool pain meds, and moving slow.....
Dear, sweet, hubby is feeding everyone, and watching Dad while I ramble on here to my new friends. Thanks for being here to let me semi-vent, it has been a heck of a 30 days here! And managing my birds at all ages, and a mare due to foal soon, and gamebirds do to hatch up in the hayloft in the barn......
