I'm pet sitting for former neighbors for a couple of days. Last night, their cat followed me into the bathroom and then was admiring herself in the mirror.

OMG. No wonder the cat wants to move in with you guys. Check out the fancy bathroom! :jawdrop: Elevated glass bowl, Turkish towels, flowers on the sink, attractive wallpaper, etc. At first, I thought it was a phot of a fancy schmancy hotel bathroom, a la Four Seasons?! :joyfull:

Today my family of three will head to "The Pine Barrens" region in western NJ to see an air show. McGuire Air Force Base is hosting it.. My wife always tries to make me feel jealous and mentions how she loves the handsome young men in their uniforms.
Anyway..............tonight I'll try to post a couple of Air Show photos :cool:

Thanks all for the warm wishes. It was a looong day and a do nothing day yesterday. Let's say it was an adventure I don't want to do ever again.

First, I got to the hospital and checked in okay. They took me back to waiting room and said they needed some blood for testing and took four vials. :bored: Then they put in an IV....that I didn't need. But wait, it gets better.

They had me lay down in bed on the side with my torn hip muscle and I cried and cried until some nice nurse guy walking past the room came in and said the bed wasn't adjusted correctly and helped me. But wait, it gets better.

The procedure was done in my regular clothes, I was expecting a gown. They rolled me onto my stomach, cleaned my lower back and then put on lidocaine. The doc started injecting the numbing stuff for the nerves all in that area. Then I kicked and kicked again (which I told the nurse I did during my cortisone shots and they ignored) and the doc realized I needed more lidocaine.

After that I didn't feel anything but a hard pressure on that area. He said it was a slow drip to fill the vial and to breathe in and out then bear down like you need to poop and the vial will fill faster. Well after two of those I thought, if I keep doing this I'll need to 💩! He showed me what they took out and surprising fact....spinal fluid is clear like water! But wait, it gets better.

Afterwards I had to lay flat for two hours in a curtained cubicle with nothing to look at. It was to prevent a spinal headache, which thank the man upstairs I never got. They said it's like the worst migraine ever. After laying there for the first hour, I had to pee but I couldn't get up for another hour. :grumpy: But wait, it gets better.

Thirty minutes past the time they said I could leave someone finally came with my discharge papers and forgot I had this IV tube in! Duh! They also told me that with the numbing agents I'd be extra wobbly on my legs. Just great. By this time I forgot about the bathroom and just wanted to go home!

But wait, it gets better....

Yeah, not my house. They just redid this house because it was apparently very dated. Now it's really up to date.

I wish my bathroom looked like that. All of ours need to be redone.

A very nice volunteer (she reminded me of Doris Day) and the valet parker got me into the car. I got really lightheaded (and my mother is known to jam on the brakes :in pain:) so we got lunch at McD's. The doc said extra caffeine for a few days would help so I had a large Dr. Pepper. (Not remembering I had to pee!) We had a torrential downpour while eating in the car so we had to wait it out, couldn't see to drive. But wait, it gets better.

We got to my house and my legs felt like a ton but I knew if I got in the house I could just lay down! My porch was extremely slippery and I got up two steps and couldn't get a grip on the bannister, stuck in between two steps! My mom "tried" to help lift my foot up (as I'm screaming I'm going to fall!!!) and she shoved me forward on my injection sight instead and I did a belly flop on my porch! :bawling::bawling::bawling: But wait, it gets better!

My neighbor who happened to be in her yard came sprinting down the street to help me. With the torn hip muscle and my legs like jelly and in EXTREME pain I couldn't stand up. My neighbor called an ambulance and stayed until they got there. My mom was just in a shock. The nice EMTs got me standing and into the house. They asked if I needed to go to the hospital and I said no I just left there! They took my vitals 160/98, well with all that happened did you think it would be perfect? They said my bandages we're good and left. But wait, it gets funny.

I'm soaked from laying on the porch so my mom got me clean clothes to change. She put the wet ones in the washer and asked how I could be so drenched! Then I laughed and laughed through the tears. While freaking out about everything and not being able to get up I remembered (subconsciously) I had to pee. :oops::oops:

Yesterday I slept most of the day and the doc said do nothing, and I did. The iodine wash has given me a rash so I'm so happy I can shower later! My best friend gave me a shower seat so I plan on just sitting under the water and napping. So that's been my adventures the past few days. Oh, and Star Wars, lots of Star Wars. :cat:
