Betwixt Home and the Hospital

My life is not totally my own now so I think this will be a break ...until...August or later. We'll see.
Each day evolves in an unknown way. Peace...

AAM Monday: Project Life Week 31

Week 31 started off with himself needing to go to the hospital for a little bump on the back of his head. Considering he had fallen in the shower last week, it seemed that this bump could have been related to the fall which had resulted in a cracked rib. But after extensive testing with no indication of a head injury and a few days home, we decided it had been a mosquito bite. Himself gets quite a reaction from bug bites.  

Fortunately, the rest of the week was much calmer.

TBT: 1949 First the Appendix, Then Chicken Pox

Here I am in the hospital, after having my appendix out. No April Fool's Joke! It was a breeze, even having the staples...metal staples...removed. However, as I was in a ward and was no lover of a cold steel bedpan, I said I could walk to the toilet down the hall. There was one bed that had a curtain around it but NosyParker that I was, I had to stick my head in and say hello to the boy in that bed.

Bad move...he had chicken pox, and yes, after having the appendix out and going home, I too developed a case of chicken pox. Sometimes it's best not to interfere in other people's business. Sometimes I still forget that!

btw, check out the nurse's attire. I do recall liking that as I grew up when you could tell the nursing school by the style and cut of the cap.

Yikes, It Seems to Be Going Around

More than one of our friends has been or is here for serious surgery this week. Perhaps it's our age???

AAM Project Life Week 28

Week 28 wasn't the most upbeat week because 4 days involved a lot of waiting - waiting for this, waiting for that, waiting waiting waiting to find out if I had a heart issue or not. Fortunately, I was tired enough in the hospital from the lack of sleep each night to be willing to wait. In the end, the news was good, and that in itself was reassuring. It WAS worth the wait.

365 week 3, oh what a week it was

I hope I never have to have a week like this one again. Actually, a lot of it was concentrated in 4 days. I never wanted to be a nurse, or doctor or be involved in the medical profession in any way. I'm so glad that there are people who do though. I sure saw a lot of them during this week.
