Mother Update

My mother came home from the hospital yesterday.  They think it was all started from a severe sinus infection.  They first started looking at all kinds of things like blood clot, stroke, etcetera. When they finally started looking at the sinus infection as a possible cause and treating that; things started getting better.

There was one nurse in particular that did a very good job.  More about that later.

I’m wearing myself out.  Ugh.

My Few Days

As I sit and write this on Sunday morning, I just returned from the emergency room and am operating on 3 hours of sleep. I need to get showered…. possibly eat something…and then go back. I’ve had a rough couple of days.  For a few days now, everything I do related to work is causing setbacks and delays. On top of that, my mother went to the emergency room by ambulance yesterday with severe head pain and super high blood pressure.

Yesterday, I worked from 2:30-11:30 having a frustrating time with the computer I was working on while getting updated by cell phone the entire evening about my mother.  I came home about midnight to eat for the first time yesterday and it seemed that she was doing better. So, I decided to get some sleep and go this morning to see how she was doing.  A family friend and one of my cousins split time with her because I was so exhausted. I got called in the middle of the night that mother wanted me.

She was having severe headaches, swelling, and high blood pressure. The pain meds would work some, but not relieve it completely. Right now, my sister and b.i.l. are with her so I can get showered.  I might take a quick nap… but probably won’t have time.

Additionally, Friday was bad for work and I discovered that someone had broken into a network at one of my client’s offices.  So…. I didn’t make it home until 11 that night, either.

But… I’m getting a second wind…. or just don’t feel how tired I am at the moment…..

Deer Body Slams

Last night as I was driving home, I had turned from one road to another which is a two lane road with a 55 mph speed limit.  I had just gotten up to speed when I noticed a figure in the road ahead.  I recognized it as a deer and I slowed down.  As the deer got to the right side of the road, I noticed that it seemed confused and scared.  It started back to the left side of the road, then back to the right; and I slowed even more quickly to about 20 mph just as it decided that it was going to run along the right side of my vehicle.  It ran quite a few feet and then body slammed the side of my car. I finally got stopped and it ran across in front of my car to the left side of the road.  I pulled off the road where it was wide enough and checked my car and couldn’t find any damage.
