Well, this post is very late but the past few days have been very busy. Last Thursday, I went back to the doctor to make sure that nothing dramatic was going on since we pulled my picc line out. I saw a different doctor so I got another opionion on my particular situation. The graph for the PFTs looked so much better that I thought about hanging it on my fridge.
After another meeting and giving some blood to research, I was off to Audiology. It was clear that I was not raising my hand at all the right beeps when the lady running it went to get someone to check that the machine was working right. I apparently have good hearing during conversation but not at the higher decibels. She reassured me that this was considered age related loss except for the fact that I am all of 35. So, I will go back again to meet with the doctor.
Next, it was home to pack and deliver the dog to my mom who was kind enough to drive him the rest of the way to my grandparents. In order to be gone for four days, I had to find a dog sitter, a butterfly sitter (to take over for me), and a kind soul to water our garden. I also had to pack all my equipment and nebs in a giant suitcase. By the time my husband got off work, we were almost ready to go.
Our first stop was The Great Wolf Lodge in Wisconin Dells. It was a great time and so fun to get to actually do something relaxing with my family. My daughter told me to just hold her hand in the wave pool and then I wouldn't be scared. She is brave beyond her four years.
Our next adventure was the race track in Joliet, Illinois. My husband's family met us there so we got to see our darling nephews and catch up with everyone. One of his college friends came with his new son and wife too! One of the highlights in Illinois was being one exit away from Steak & Shake. My nephew didn't think that I could eat it three days in a row but I did and that must be a few extra calories.
We went home via Iowa to catch up with my friends from college and meet some new babies! They aren't really babies anymore so my visit was a little overdue. My friend agreed to host all of us so we could just order pizza. It was a little different than our days in the dorm with six kids between the four of us.
I am very thankful to all the folks who agreed to help me out over the weekend. It was a really good time. Now, I am off to find a dog sitter for my next big adventure and get to the pool before I lose my ambition.
Blessings,
Cindy
