You have to feel better to die

This is what the doctor told me on Wednesday morning when I went to the doctor. I thought I had a sinus infection and he agreed along with a touch of bronchitis. Well, after 3 days of missing part of the day at work I got worse - if you can believe this.

Yesterday, I went down hill fast and ended up in the emergency room and just about in the hospital. They are not quite sure what happened but I had paralysis of my arms, legs, and face. It is really scary when you can't move your body when you want to. So, after 4 hours in the ER and a lot of drugs and IV's they sent me back home. Today I feel a little better, still not feeling like doing much mainly because I my energy goes really fast. So much for cutting wood and working in the yard this week-end - I just don't feel like it.

Kristi and Alayna left this morning for West Plains to visit friends. They will be back on Monday or Tuesday. They were both looking forward to this visit. Kristi has already called once because she took a wrong turn. The way to West Plains is not a straight shot. She has to make turns that are not clearly marked for the directionally challenged. We are staying close to the phone with our Missouri map for the next call. This way we can figure out where she is.

Mom has been working in the yard a little bit. She is working on the "hill" that we have. If I feel like it today I am going out to help her a little today. We are hoping Tom can use the mower and we can cut what is left.
