almost home again. . .
Dec. 12th, 2008 09:11 amGot my timezones all fluffed up yesterday so instead of getting into Houston some time in the afternoon I didn't get home until after 8 pm. There was a message on my phone (note to self: pay cell phone bill next) from my Mom saying she was at the hospital with my Grandma. So needless to say I jetted over here instead of heading home.
Grandma has a stint? stent? placed in one of her arteries after being taken to the ER that morning with chest pains. Doc said it all went well and that she has "very young arteries and a very healthy heart" which seemed to really surprise him as Grandma just turned 86. So hopefully, just a few days in the hospital and she'll be back home. Of course she will never believe what the Doc said about her heart.
And of course I have a headache; sinus headache, had it for two days now. Got to the airport took the serious meds and slept all the way home, including falling asleep in the boarding area while sitting up. But alas it returned this morning so I'm squinting out of one eye waiting for the meds to kick in again. Lots of work to do and up to the ICU to see Grandma for the noon visiting hours. Hopefully she'll be moved to her own room this afternoon too.
