ih what a wonderful day, it was a crisp night and a horror movie were playing on T.V., or maybe it was the Wheel of Fortune, I can't remember. Travis asked me if I wanted to carve a pumpkin. I thought about it and said: "Sure, why not?" So we picked which pumpkin we wanted from the two that his parents gave us. I was excited because I never tried a stencil before. I chose a cat and Travis picked a vampire. With all of the gunk and seeds scooped out we were excited to get started carving.
Wow! Was carving with those little tools hard. For one thing. you're worried they don't break and two, you don't want to stab yourself. Once we finished our pumpkins, we sat back and ad,mired our work. What do you think.?
The next day I woke up thinking I had a little time to eat some breakfast and maybe go to the bathroom. and rest a little bit before the nurse, chaplain, and social worker stopped by. Well I was wrong. They came like a swarm of bees. Travis went out and talked to the chaplain, since he was a man and that be a little awkward for him to be in the house while I was using the bathroom.
So they were outside and us lady folk were inside. After I was finished using the commode (portable toilet) I stood up and held onto my walker. I thought I was safe to go so I told my step mom to let go. As she did and I stood up and took a step my foot slid out from under me and I fell to my knees, thankfully my head didn't hit the coffee table.
As I was on my knees I was praying that they would be able to get me up; so as I was getting position to lay on my stomach, the two nurses and my step mom who were helping me, yelled for the men; Travis, the chaplain and my dad, who just got home fro,m work. They came in and were surprised at the scene. They then rolled me to my side and then my back
where the nurses inserted a catheter, which was painless, while the. men looked away, As I was now in the sitting position two people grabbed my legs and two people grabbed me by armpits and hoisted me into my chair. Thank God, I was now off the ground.
After all of that hassle, Travis was shown how to use an oxygen machine, which was fairly easy to use When the oxygen tech left, a funeral director stopped by to discuss casket options. I picked a white one with a pink inlay. I find it ridiculous how much a funeral costs; Right now it's costing more than our wedding. Absolute ridiculousness. Blah! anyway I will write more when I get the chance. T00TLES!!!
