Sat., November 16, 2002 - Dale came to see me at 8:00 a.m. Mitch & Anna came in the morning also. Tom & Mary came in early afternoon and Nancy came after the football game was over. She stopped at my place & picked up some things I needed. Tom, Anna, Mitch & Nancy ate at the cafeteria. Everybody left by 7:30.
Sunday, November 17, 2002 - Mary & the kids came after early church. Greta came about 10:00. Dale here too in the morning. Tom was here from about 10:30 to 12:45. Greta, Mary, Mitch, Anna & Nancy ate in the cafeteria. Bill, Jenny & Patty came in mid-afternoon. Nancy left about 8:00. Every day blood was taken for testing. I evidently had a heart attack several weeks ago. I'm also hooked up to a heart monitor. Had an IV one day.
Monday, November 18, 2002 - Nancy came at 6:30 & Dale at about 8:00. Talked to all 3 doctors & will get a pacemaker on Tuesday. Nancy called Greta, Tom, Bill, Mary and Ray. More x-rays were taken. Mary here at noon. Dale, Dane & Kyleah here about 5:00 p.m. Mary & kids here at 6:00 & Tom here at 7:00.
Good heavens. Did I just drop my kids off on a Saturday morning and go on my way? Mitch would have been 11 and able to locate a hospital room on his own with Anna in tow, but still. Hopefully at the very least I had something important to do and came up to say hi and then left. Egads.
For no particular reason, here is a fun photo of Grandpa and Tom. I sure miss that place.
I miss it also. So many great memories are up there. It is a great picture of Tom and Daddy. I must admit that my memories of that hospital stay and a blur. She sure had a lot of company.
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear your memories are blurry, too. As I'm reading these entries of hers, I am barely dredging up a memory of those days except for the kids eating some of her food. lol. I recall her being intrigued with the phone hook-up thingy to have the pacemaker checked once she was back home, however.
