The beginning of our week was a little unsettling, but it did settle down into a nice boring week.

Our daughter-in-law Amanda was rushed to the hospital Sunday afternoon having continual seizures. At first it was thought that she had had a stroke and the seizures and numbness was due to that. But, when the dr. saw her having one of them, he said that it was "just" a seizure. She had to be intubated and moved to CCU. She didn't stay on the vent long, was taken off early Monday morning.

Since we had to be in Jonesboro Monday, and the lab is only about 2 blocks from the hospital, we met Ryan after to see how she was doing. We weren't able to see her since it is a closed unit with only certain visiting hours, but we stayed with him until it was time for him to see her. We also bought him some breakfast, and for hospital food, it was pretty good. It turned out that he didn't get to see her because they had just taken her for an MRI. All of the tests came back normal. She was moved to a regular room later in the day, and was discharged Tuesday afternoon. I think it was determined that it was a drug interaction. Ryan said they asked if she was on Tramadol, and her back dr. has her on that. I'm thinking that it interferes with her seizure medication, hence the seizures. Ryan said that she's feeling better, but still very tired and sore.

Bill's lab results were good. His kidney function has actually improved some, which surprised me since it's still a battle to get him to drink. The level of one of his anti-rejection meds was a little high so an adjustment was made. He will need to have the test repeated in another week.

Wednesday night a lens fell out of my glasses. We have a repair kit, but we couldn't get the lens lined up right to keep it in. I have my old pair and could use those, but I could tell that they weren't quite right. So, Thursday morning it was off to the eye dr. to get them fixed. We have appointments in a couple of weeks, and since I haven't needed to get these changed for a couple of years now, we're probably looking at new ones.

The rest of the week was pretty normal. Our weather was up and down, 80 one day, 39 the next! It's warm again today and cloudy. We must have had some rain in the night as the patio was wet this morning when I fed the cats.

I woke up aching all over this morning, headache, legs hurting, shoulders hurting, just hurting everywhere. I'm hoping it's because I vacuumed Thursday and then did 5 loads of laundry yesterday, which included stripping and remaking the bed. Getting old is not for the faint of heart!

We have no plans for anything coming up which is good since we are low on portable O2. We have not gotten a delivery for 2 weeks now, and with the change in flow, the tanks don't last long. Our supplier called Thursday and said that Medicare is denying the claims because of something to do with the prior company. Emily tried to call them yesterday to see what they needed but they are playing phone tag now. Hopefully it will get straightened out soon. We still do have 1 1/2 big tanks and most of a small tank so it's not a really dire situation yet.

All I can think of this morning. Will probably take it somewhat easy since moving hurts! We also have no plans for Valentine's Day. Bill realized it was coming and said he hadn't gotten me anything yet, but I told him I didn't want anything. See you next Saturday!
