HE is Sick and I am Tired! That Makes Us a Good Pair!!

Louis Dean is feeling a little better as I write this evening. I did, indeed, get him to the doctor. His oxygen level was good and his lungs were clear. Acute bronchitis was the diagnosis.

Rather than type it all over again, I copied part of a message I sent my sister, Deanie, this afternoon.

"Louis Dean is sick and I am tired! That makes us sick AND tired! Not been a good day! Having car trouble where the car loses power power and then starts trembling and shaking. I coast to the side of the road and turn it off. I wait a minute and then start the car again. It did it once on Tuesday and twice today! Makes me nervous! 9:00 doctor appointment and then we went downstairs to the pharmacy and waited nearly an hour for his prescriptions. Finally they called our name! Only one! Antibiotic but no cough syrup. Pharmacy called upstairs to the doc. No answer. I went back up to the office and waited 20 minutes while the receptionist tried to contact them and still nothing. A nurse opened the door to call a patient and the receptionist flagged her down and asked her to call the desk. Still nothing. Finally I went back downstairs, paid for the one and we came home. When I went to give him his first dose I couldn't find the medicine! Thought I left it at the pharmacy so I went BACK up to the hospital! Not there! Found it in the car floor board! Car died on the way home but it started up again! Went back home, gave him his meds, we ate and went to bed! After my nap I drove BACK up to hospital and with an ambulance coming up behind me, the car died again! I was able to coast around a corner and turn it off. It restarted. I was nearly to the hospital but there is a lot of construction going on and I didn't want to take a chance on the car stalling again so I drove back home and got the honking big truck! BACK to the hospital and got the cough syrup, stopped at the Dollar store and got Louis Dean some sausage links and orange juice.....he wants to make pigs in a blanket! I FEEL like a pig in a blanket! Anyway I'm back home and put my gown on so I hope I'm feeling better in just a few minutes! "

The nice thing about waiting at Brown's Pharmacy was all the pretty things to look at.

While it didn't fill up the entire hour we were there - it was interesting!

They have a huge selection of extra nice greeting cards!

Not your everyday average ones......

the kind that has a personal feeling to the message.

I love reading greeting cards!

Clever ones like this one!

There was even a rack of pithy sayings for this modern technology that surrounds us these days.

I got a big kick reading the cocktail napkins!

Haha!!

I can relate to this!

That's a good one!

However, tonight I am saving the wine and drinking water!!

We had breakfast for supper tonight!

Louis Dean tried his hand at pigs in a blanket.

Most of them lost their cover but they tasted good!

I pretty much lost the wind in my sails today.

We were meant to be down on the ranch but that didn't happen.

Not sure WHEN we will get to go now what with one thing after another on the calendar for the next several weeks. Someone (I can't remember who) cheered me up by saying, "Well, one thing about it! The ranch isn't going anywhere!"

Louis Dean seems to be improving at last. While he stayed in bed all afternoon (and so did I!) he did manage to eat two meals today and sit up more. He's in his music room right now strumming his guitar and I take that as a very good sign!

It's 8:00 and the sun has gone behind the trees so I'm going to go out and water and then call it a day myself. I think this energizer rabbit just ran of of battery!
