disneydream06I have had a GREAT start to my vacation.
I came home and loaded up on sugar. Hey, it's vacation time, gotta enjoy, right?
I got to bed extra late, 12 noon. Normal bedtime is 10 am. Lately it's been 11 am. Today even worse.
A few minutes before 3 pm my dad hollered at me to get up and get dressed. I flew out of bed and threw on some cloths. Dad was standing there holding some paper towels to his forearm. He said the next door neighbor would put Maggie in the kennel. I asked what happened. He pulled the paper towels back and he had a gash in his forearm. He said he was taking Maggie out and she must have seen the neighbor outside and made a dash to go to her and jerked his arm into the screendoor handle. Back steps are covered in blood splatter.
I ran out and grabbed Maggie and put her in the kennel, put dad in the car, and took off for the ER.
I dropped him at the ER door and found a parking spot in the employee parking ramp. Sorry, but I am not paying to park for an ER visit. :o
Got back to the ER, they said dad was back getting his VS checked and he should be back out. I could go back or wait in the lobby. I am thinking, are you seriously planning on sending somebody back to the lobby with a hole in his arm? I decided to wait and see what happened.
I would be lying if I didn't say I was thinking back to the night that I took my mom to the ER and she died. :(
They came out and got me. The nurse said they weren't going to try and stitch it up because dad's skin was so thing(as older people tend to get) and the stitches probably wouldn't hold. So they were going to treat it with a dressing cover and let it heal on it's own. So she dressed it up and told me what to do and sent us on our way.
So now we are back home. Dad is resting upstairs and I am downstairs, TIRED, and keeping Maggie down here with me to give dad a rest from her "puppy energy".
Selfishly, I am just glad this didn't happen on Wed, Fri, or Sat when I am suppose to be going up to the Twin Cities. :o
So, how is your Monday?????
