Share your day July 2013

Taking Brooke to a heart doctor in Fort Smith for a stress test today. I hate going to doctors even if I'm not the one seeing the doctor.

It will be a day off from working around here though. Maybe we'll eat at the Chinese restaurant across from the hospital while we're in town. Haven't been there in several years.
 

Other than normal chores, I might bath the dogs today - they've been outside rolling around and all that fun has started to smell:sick:

Great minds think alike...it's been on my agenda for a week now, they're stinkier by the day. Ohno has the remains of some odiferous rolling left on his side from a few days ago..since he's been rolling around in the sand most of it's neutralized from the friction...a dirt bath to take the smell off..gotta love dogs!

It's rainy here today, so forced stay inside. There's lots to do staring me in the face, so I need to get cracking.
 

Here's to a positive outcome and lunch at the Chinese restaurant:cheers:

After the dogs (males) got their baths when I was living at the vineyard, I always would tease them, "You smell like a Grrrl!" I love how they immediately start rolling around again to get back that all important au de canine . . .
 
It's Tuesday . . . one day closer to the weekend. Highlight of the day will be listening to old time radio show just before trudging off to work...
 
TWH and OG, Thanks for the kind thoughts.

They didn't do the stress test yesterday, just an echo exam. Will get the results from that in about a week. These damn doctors like to keep you coming back.

We decided on steak at the Outback instead of Chinese.
 
Rkunsaw...I know what you mean about the driving..it's about the same for us to Mountain Home. What really chaps me is to drive all that way just to get a 5 minute follow up office visit that could have been done over the phone. We've tried to concentrate our medical care in Batesville, but they just don't have all the specialist...anyhow, keep us posted on Mrs. R's outcome and I'll'keep you in my thoughts.

TWH...haven't read the "Exotic Food" posts yet, but sorry you had a bad Chinese food experience....I feel the same way about pizza right now. That's what I had the night my hospital adventure began...I know the pizza didn't cause it, but the association is too strong right now...hope it goes away because I do love pizza!
 
And I thought trimming dog nails was an ordeal..I have a time with that!.. .:) .. hope your day goes well.

You reminded me .. need to go for supplies .... I have a feed store close by that I get my wild bird seed, and bags of corn for my squirrel stands. They sell CHOW for every type of animal ... Monkey Chow anyone?

.. Interesting place to wander around.


So happy it's Friday too!! This weekend is the beginning of football. ..:rugby:. Hall of Fame game in Canton, Ohio is on Sunday Night -- Cowboys vs Dolphins. These games are usually lame, unless it's your team, but it's a start to something good.


Have a wonderful weekend everyone!
 
We are into August now so I'm thinking we should just change the name of the tread to "Share your day" and then it will just keep rolling along.

Rkunsaw - I hope everything goes well for your wife's tests.

I've spent the last few days sitting with my sister in the ICU. She went in for what she thought was kidney stones but things went down hill very fast and we almost lost her. She appears to be coming around and has been moved out of the ICU now and is awake and eating but they haven't determined exactly what the problem is other than she has some kind of infection that just went right through her. Scares me when I hear about all the "super bugs" out there and because her immune system is so weak she had nothing to fight with. And.... there are more germs in the hospital than anywhere. Anyway, she seems to be improving but we had a very scary 48 hours.

My son is home for vacation so we relaxed and had a bbq last night. I should be mowing the lawns, but to pooped to care right now.

Hope everyone is doing well, haven't really had a chance to read all of the new posts but I do miss you guys!!! Things should get back to normal soon and I'll catch up. Have a lovely weekend.
 
TICA I hope your sister is getting better.

TG since most of us here are retired, all days are the same. For some every day is Saturday, for others every day is Monday.

The nurse called Thursday and said Brooke had an appointment for another test (I think it's called a cardiogram) on the 13th. Yesterday the nurse called and said she had scheduled her for the stress test on the 14rh. Brooke called back and asked why they didn't schedule them on the same day. She said that was the only openings they had, but later called back and said she could do both on the 14th but the first one would nave to be early in the morning.

I'll be glad when those are done but mainly of course I hope they don't find anything of a serious nature causing her problems.
 
New August Thread has been started! Thanks to all for your well wishes. I appreciate it more than you know!
 
Never a wrong thread around here, Boo's Mom.


My 'wrong thread' comment was aimed at me.. I pulled what I typed in here, and took it to the August thread when I saw my mistake. .. it wouldn't let me delete the contents without putting something in it's place ??? ...so 'wrong thread' is what I wrote.
Poor choice.


Now can we get on with August ....... lol
