A long day



Yesterday I went to Costco to pick up a prescription for Terry, this is what I found!  Long lines even to get into the store.  When I came out I am guessing there was at least 100 people waiting to get in!  Have not seen that in the past.
BUT that is not the news of the day.  I called 911 this morning and Terry went to the hospital in the ambulance.  Terry has not been feeling great since December but in the last couple of months she has been not well at all.  She has lost weight and the last straw was her having diarrhea early morning more than once in bed.  She is currently at NCH.  She called about 10 or so and said that because she had a dry cough, which she has had for a LONG time, and her oxygen was at 93 they were being extra careful with her and as of late AM she was not yet in a room.  We just did not want to have her go to the hospital with all this virus etc BUT we felt there was really no choice.  So I am waiting to hear from her this PM.  I am hoping she is in a room.  We really need to find out what in the world is going on with her health.  When she arrived at NCH her blood pressure was something like 70/50 which is way way way too low.  I am hoping that in a couple of days they can get to the bottom of this health issue and she can come home.  
In the mean time, today, I am doing three loads of laundry as having diarrhea in bed is not the most wonderful thing!
I am feeling fine but being in the house with Terry at the hospital is not my thing.  I am kind of thinking that there is something in me that is not right but when I am alone like this I kind of walk around the house as if I am lost!  Hopefully in a short time Terry will be back.
So here I am.  the bedding is almost clean so almost time to make the bed, jump in the pool maybe and then I do plan to go to  NCH with some things for Terry.  I was told as she was being taken away that I can NOT visit her!  I am sure I can drop a bag of things off for her but she needs to call to let me know what she needs.
So it is time to make the bed, jump in the pool and maybe take a short nap as I pretty much have been up since 1:30.  I did however, after Terry left, get in my FP so that has gotten me this far into the day!
