I say yes, you say no, OR People are Strange

Morning girls

The baby sitting went well - not a peep out of the precious. They were very late getting back - after midnight.

DH has still got the cough from that flu he caught. Now I've got a new cold - bummer dude. I can infect all of the people on the flight back - payback to the one who infected me on the flight from Paris. Just joking, I probably won't be infectious by then.

Hi Everybody!

You are not going to believe what happened last night.

We got up to the Red Lobster in Roanoke about 5:30 and met KK and Craig. Well about 6 pm when they served the salad and bread something happened to Tim's jaw. It got painful and swelled up by the ear. He thought he was having a stroke and started having a panic attack. So we left in the middle of dinner and rushed to the ER in Roanoke. We were there for 3 1/2 hours. They ran all kinds of tests and it wasn't a heart attack or stroke.

They thought it might be a parotid blockage or something like that in the salivary gland. At any rate, everything else was normal. Except his blood pressure was initially in the 220's. With no diagnosis, the doc finally said we could leave.

So we finally get out of there about 10:30 p.m. and go to get in the car. Well .. I had left the car lights on and the battery was dead! We had to park a ways away from the emergency room in this little dark lot, as there was no parking nearby. Then we had to hike up this steep hill to get to the ER ... and this was in 4 inch heels. arghh.  That's probably what spiked Tim's blood pressure. 

Anyway .. we called my sis to come and help us out with the battery, but before they could get back, a man pulled up beside us and helped us out.

I was not happy that I didn't get to eat my b-day dinner and that I spent all that time in the ER.

So we get out of there around 11 p.m. and about halfway home I wanted to stop at the DQ and get a blizzard. I was hungry and thirsty. So at 11:30 I got my blizzard and Tim got a Moolatte. Well lo and behold his sucking on that straw caused the swelling and pain to start draining from his ear/jaw region.

Got home about midnight. Winston (my old dog) really had to pee and was so happy to see us. I'm a little tired today, as Tim had to get up early and he kept hitting the snooze button. It was driving me nuts. I finally had to push him out of bed and threaten to kill the freakin' clock if he didn't stop it.

So .. that was my birthday dinner. Tim seems to be okay today, but still has some swelling and pressure.

I'm just glad he didn't have a stroke or a heart attack. He was really scared. And I couldn't believe this part ... the docs offered him morphine for the pain and he said NO. Hello .. I asked if they could give it to me instead. I needed some right about then.

Anyway .. other than that ... it was a great birthday.  And I did look fabulous in my new shoes and jeans!  Tim kept telling everyone in the ER it was my birthday.  Too bad they didn't supply the cake and ice cream!!

I would really like some of those malted milk balls with my coffee this morning.

Hope everyone is having a good day!

Bren

Oh Bren....!  So glad to hear that Tim's okay, though.  I think you get a do-over. 

Bren - I'm glad that Tim is OK - what a birthday.

We had lunch with our son, DIL and baby today - I hugged him to my chest and cried - I might never see him again. We are going there for dinner tonight, I just wish Mark would move back home, it's so expensive here. Her parents now both live in Western Australia, it's not fair we have to go so far to see him. He likes his Nana - got lots of smiles today. DH got a big one too.

Hair calming down a bit as the water is harder here - can't wait for the cut next Wednesday!!! I tell bubby I'm his woolly coo nana and he likes that.

Sue

Wow!  You feel well enough to do that?  You must be superwoman!

Yay!  I'm so glad you feel good! 

(((Bren))) so sorry abvout your truncated celebration. Rather worrisome that they never found out what was actually wrong with Mr. Tim. Maybe something he ate caused an allergic reaction or got into the gums or something? Anyway, glad today is better.

Susie, I really hope your fear proves wrong and that you get to see the baby again throughout his life. Glad your hair is calming down! 

E - ah yes, hockey season is about to erupt - how do you go to Colombia and miss part of the season - does your sister tweet you the score or haven't you figured out how this is going to work - how many games are you going to miss?  Is this the year my Canadien's are getting the cup back to where it rightfully belongs???

Oh Sandy...I didn't even THINK about the hockey I'll miss!  I hope I can find the games on cable or the interwebs or something. 

And no, the Canadiens will not win the Cup this year.  :-P

(((Sue)))  I, too, hope you get to see your little guy throughout his life.  He needs his woolly coo nana!
