To the ER and back

Yep.  It was so severe I could not take it any longer.  Way too sudden and severe after hours of no pain so I decided it was time.  Thank goodness the CT scan showed nothing but a few bitchy areas and one very large crabby spot.  It seems that the fire I made last week to burn all the extra wood, and the thick smoke that I had to turn away from, irritated my sinuses to the point of them rebelling.  They are filled with fluid (?) which is why Mucinex did not work.  They are trying steroids and nasal sprays, no more Advil, loaded me with meds while there, along with an antibiotic just in case.  I have a Medicare advantage plan so this trip by ambulance will cost a goodly amount.  But that's fine.  I save every month on the policy so it evens out.

 

I wanted to show you a photo of the doors we made to replace the ones on the new cabinets.  We used MDF panels instead of poplar since we already dished out a bit too much on these custom pieces, and it's much more stable.  If these fail, we'll worry about it then.  And I also think the black handles were a bit much and will try a painted knob with a thin black colonial latch.  'Ya think?  The planks are much more pronounced, the others were barely noticeable.  Mark likes the handles so I'll compromise.  Six months with them, six months with painted shaker knobs.  Hmmm.  Now where did I put those handles …..

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Four year old Sophia is a pink fanatic and wanted a truck and a horse. I searched and searched, came across a line called Lori Dolls and found her the perfect one.  There is a horse trailer that goes with it called Hoofing-it but it's been out of stock everywhere.  Hopefully we can get one with a horse soon.  The truck has 6" dolls and horses with other accessories, found them through Target.  Never heard of them before but I don't have little ones, (just that big 80 year old and a skinny 75 year old). 

 

I hope you're all well and not stressed about the holiday.  I plan to finish up a few items for gifts, wish I had the time to just browse the bargains but this week was not conducive for that.  In a few days, the day that people prepare for many weeks in advance, will be over.  Just like the prep for a wedding, it is unfortunately over in a day.  But I hope the spirit continues.  I will be thinking of Frank's family and how they will manage.  Our hearts are very heavy.

 

Stay safe, hug tightly.
