Well, everything is in turmoil around here. C was admitted to the hospital last night with intense abdominal pain. All I know at this point is that they are detecting a problem with her gall bladder.
I took care of the boys yesterday between the end of school and the time their father got home, as DIL was, of course, with her mom at the hospital. I bought them shakes at Steak N Shake -- only $4 as it was Happy Hour. Comfort food -- even though they didn't know anything!
Also on my mind is Hurricane Irma. The model I saw this morning put the path very near Gainesville. At least I know my son's family will be safe from the storm surge, but they are sure to get lots of damaging wind and rain. The new model also shows the landfall to take place on the gulf coast. I have quite a few shirttail relations living there, and I'm worried that they felt safe because the earlier prediction was focused on the east coast.
I finally got a diagnosis on my knee yesterday. It is pes anserine bursitis, and I have to sign up for more physical therapy. But at least I know what I'm dealing with. I declined a cortisone shot. The few that I've had were too painful to be worth it.
I also declined to pay my copay yesterday, explaining that I would rather pay my full medical online (which I will do after pay day.) I also got away with no cost for parking, because the appointment took less than one hour.
I was supposed to go with C today on a tour of the botanical gardens. That, needless to say, has been cancelled. I also tentatively cancelled my attendance at the jazzfest cookout tomorrow. It's an hour away and I'm not comfortable with being that far out of reach, the situation being what it is.
So all of this will have the silver lining that my spending will stay low as I bide my time at home and on call.
I am very uneasy on several fronts, but feeling grateful for my own health and safety at this time.
