Re: CARI - My Fall

[Guest guest]

Vicki,

You need a phone clip. Very inexpensive and can clip to your fanny pack,

purse, clothes whereever. You won't even know it's there, until you need

it! Plug the phone in at night, wear it all day. Nag, nag, nag.

I apologize, Jeff didn't go by ambulance to the hospital. They called them

because he passed out but we drove him once he was Ok and able to stand.

Again, adrenaline was to blame. Jeff said that it was such instant pain,

and he was racking his brain for what he knew about stingray bites, which

was close to nothing. The adrenaline was probably what made him pass out.

Too much at one time. We drove him to the hospital. He was in pain and

nauseasous. He took his last steroid dose last Friday and is still feeling

the effects. He isn't a puffed up but still isn't feeling great.

Glad Pooh got extra special treatment. Glad there doesn't seem to be any

lasting residual effects of the fall. Rest, rest, rest.

is very excited for Christmas. counts days by " darks " . " How

many more darks until Christmas? " is asked daily. We have an advent

calendar but he is so excited he just can't stand it! He has changed his

wish list a few times. Ugh! I am almost done with my shopping. Spending

Saturday with two dear friends. We are shopping and then dinner then

probably more shopping. Hopefully, that will be it. I will look for a

clip for you while I am out and about. It is a must have!

Hugs,

Cari
