Grandma's World

Vacations over and today is my first day back to work.

My vacation started out fine. Louie and I worked for 2 days in the yard. My black dirt was delivered and I was able to get my flowers planted in the new planter we put in about a month ago. After two days of hard labor, I decided to relax a bit on Sunday. Louie and Jay were going to Bonnie Doon's for a car show. I figured I would head over to JT's and visit with my grandkids. As I pulled around the corner onto their street I started to cough and I could not breath. The next thing I know I am waking up after my car had jumped the curb and is resting against a small tree in JT's front yard. I was shaking and sweating. I realized I had blacked out. I pulled the car down off the curb and honked for JT to come out to help me. Of course he wants to take me to the emergency room. I told him I was ok and I wasn't going. As he was helping me out of the car, I realized I had wet myself, so I really wasn't going to the ER. After a couple of hours I felt I could drive home.
I called my doctor and went in to see him on Thursday. He thinks I may have had a seizure. He has ordered me to take some tests of my brain this Thursday at the hospital, then I go back to see him the following week. He told me that I can NOT drive until we know what caused me to black out. I will update everyone, when I get some answers.

The week was not the best we have had. JT was one of 3 firefighters injuried last weekend battling a housefire in Elkhart. My boss read it on the SBT website that morning and called me. I didn't know anything about it. I called him and he was sleeping because he had been up all night fighting the fire. He has a bad spain to this right wrist and will have to be off work a week. Then this past Saturday night he was in a car accident. He was stopped at a traffic light, when a woman in a pick-up truck rammed into the rear end of his car. He said he is ok, but she did about $5000.00 in damage to the car.

I did get to enjoy some activies. Louie and I spent Tuesday shopping and Wednesday and Thursday at Silver Beach. We wandered St. Joe after sunning ourselves all afternoon. We had dinner at one of our favorite places, The Pump House Grille. We then watched the sunset over the lake. It was a beautiful.

After this vacation, I think I am glad to be back to work........
