I went back to work at school today. As much as I love my job, playing with family and in my garden is my preference. After work it was all downhill from there. As you can see from the lovely photo, I got a chunk o' cheek removed and a bunch of stitches. My left eye socket is coloring up. I might have a good shiner to go with the stitches. Dr. Young also took a chunk off my ankle. While I was getting worked over at Dr. Young's my phone rang a couple of times and I hurried and silenced it.
Come to find out, it was Beaners, calling to let me know that our mommy was in the emergency room. I ran across the parking lot from Dr. Young's office to see what was up, and found mom all lively, complaining about the pressure cuff on her arm being too tight, and worried about Dad. Her right foot was white from lack of blood flow. The diagnosis was a clot in her leg, and there was a big concern about keeping her leg healthy and also about clots flinging about and causing further damage. LifeFlight was on its way to transport her to the SLC Inter-Mountain Hospital and a vascular specialist there. Beaners left the emergency room so that she could run back to mom's house to reassure dad, to get books (mom needed entertainment), some overnight stuff for herself, and then to drive to SLC. Mom was pretty excited about the helicopter ride, and the flight nurse assured her that she could be propped up so that she could enjoy the ride. Mom waved and I took pictures on my cell phone. If I ever figure out how to get the pictures off the phone, I'll post them! For now, we are praying for successful treatment and a quick recovery.
