Today was yucky. It all started before I woke up. Hubby was having tummy troubles and had been up for quite awhile. He was experiencing so much cramping, he called into work and told them he wouldn't be into work until about 5, when the ladies had to leave and he had to close. In the meantime, he was downing Pepto like he owned stock in it. He also spent a lot of time in the tub soaking to ease his cramps.
I am going to have an MRI on my left shin next week, to figure out what the lumps next to the shin bone are that hurt when the dog climbs on my leg or the doctor presses on them. Aanyway, the radiologist called and told me that since they were injecting me with a dye, they needed a blood test to check my kidney functions first. So today I got up and went out to the medical facility to get my blood drawn. Since I went just after I woke up, I didn't eat anything or drink anything. I only had to wait a couple of minutes for the vampires to call me back. When they called me back, she asked me which arm and tried but the vein moved and she couldn't find it. She asked me if I had eaten or drank anything today and I told her no so she said she would try again. She looked all over my right arm and finally tried to take blood from my wrist! That hurt. Then I offered her my left arm, even though taking blood from that side really hurts me. She used a pediatric needle and after the initial stick, she had to move the needle around some but she finally got it. Yeah! Cause otherwise, she would have sent me away to go eat and drink something and then come back and try again. Success!
I next headed to Hobby Lobby to take back the styrofoam balls I bought for the wedding bouquet. I found several YouTube videos on how to make fabric flowers for the bouquet and I don't need to have anything to support them. I took the time to buy some wide lace to wind in between the fabric flowers and the pine cones. I got 4 different kinds of lace and I think it will look really good. Tomorrow I really have to start making it.
See, it is taking me so long to start working on the wedding bouquet for Cassie because as soon as I start, then I have to actually do it, and maybe it won't turn out the way I can picture it in my head. Maybe I won't be able to do it and then Cassie will be disappointed. I would do anything not to disappoint my kid. What if it comes out yucky looking? Then all my planning will have been for naught. What if the creativity in my head can't be translated into reality?
When I got home, I checked on hubby and he was just getting back into the tub, in a sorry state. I called the doctor to see if they could get him in today or tomorrow, but no. They suggested he go into Urgent Care, so I said to him we should go. He decided that this didn't feel that much like his diverticulitis and was probably a reaction to the chicken spaghetti. He had eaten it late at night last night and the night before so is thinking it is from the tomato sauce. So we will see, if tomorrow he is waking up with cramps again, we will go into Urgent Care. If not, then he will be fine and we won't eat spaghetti sauce late in the day anymore.
