"What's going on around here??"

Just a quick note to my Flickr friends. Things have been crazy. 8 days ago I had extensive dental work which has caused a week of pain pills, no solid foods till next Tues. My broken bones and loss of weight contributed to the demise of 6 teeth!

 

Monday Don appeared to have a stroke and was taken by ambulance to the hospital where he was completely out of it, no speech except he could give his name. Yesterday they said it wasn't a stroke, it was Meningitis and they wanted a lumbar puncture to have disease control study the bacteria. This morning no Meningitis, no infection in the spinal fluid. Today they determined he had gotten a side effect from a new medication and had edema in his brain. He's getting steroids and already is lucid, discussing lunch and when can he come home. So this has been a roller coaster. I think all will be well with him when he regains his speech which is mostly back already. Then to be able to walk in a safe way, not so tipsy.

 

Benni and Rena are my comforters and my dear friend Dawn has come to be with me when I need her. Also sweet Sandy is getting me to dentist appts. and to the hospital to see Don. What would we do without loving friends.

 

So, I hope life is normal again soon and I can be back on Flickr - I miss you all.
