Yesterday Patrick went golfing, and I walked with Ron. I was having issues with my stomach and didn't want to leave the bathroom too far away! lol Ron and I walked 5 laps and I tried to get the 6th in but couldn't get past my mailbox without having to run in the house.
So, when Patrick came home from golf, he wanted to go get his blood drawn for his appointment next week. I stayed behind and worked on my beading. Was able to get 1 row stitched on and half a row set to stitch. Patrick got home and just sat down when the phone rang. He received 2 phone calls from 2 doctors nurses telling him to get to Urgent care ASAP. His magnesium, potassium, and calcium were way to low. So, without thinking I grabbed my new ear buds and headed out the door with him. We were there around 4:30 pm. They hooked him up to an IV to get the stuff in him. Each took 30 mins to an hour. I waited out in the waiting room for 2 hours. Then I went and got a sandwich out of the vending machine. He doesn't do sandwiches, so I didn't get him anything. I did go back later and get him some candy. That seemed to keep him happy. After 2 hours they let me in with him. We chatted, watched his show on the phone, and I played my game while listening to my book on tape. Around 12 am they came in and said he had 2 choices. He can go home, with a prescription to take before and in the morning or he can stay for 2 more hours till they get his stuff up. He decided he wanted to come home and sleep in bed. So, we came home at 1:30 am.
This morning, we both slept till 9:30 am. I went walking with Ron and we got 6 laps in. Then when I came in the house, we headed back out to Olympia to get his prescription at Kaiser. After that, we headed to Luck Eagle Casino and played for a good 3 1/2 hours. We won and last. But we were able to play and that's why we go. If we lost everything in 15 minutes, then we wouldn't go back in a long time. We took 3 1/2 hours this time, so it was fun.
Came home and fixed supper. I got the certificates done for the 2 gentlemen we are awarding a quilt to tomorrow.
Now I'm going to enjoy sitting down and maybe beading or maybe playing games. I haven't decided. Life is full of surprises. We have to go back up to Olympia tomorrow to have another blood draw to see if they got all those back up where they need to be. I'm rethinking the quilt downstairs, and it will take some time to decide how I'm going to do it. In the meantime, I will try and be Happy Stitching/Happy Quilting!
