How do I begin.... Mr. Bill and I got up early today to get him ready for his trip to Alaska. Last minute ironing, packing, etc. Polly has had back pains for a couple days and slept the night in Key West to go to work early morning at Margaritaville. Kids all asleep and Uncle Ken who came a couple days ago slept in as well. Coffee..... Lots of Coffee... The kids, Mr. B and I planned to drive him to Miami to get his flight, say our fare thee wells and hit the fun road to Parrot Jungle etc. etc... Beautiful day... Cool breezes.... Then it happened. The phone calls... Miss P called from work... Unable to move... Crying.. More pain than her accident, ankle surgery, whatever... Left work... Another call... I can't drive.. Crying in pain... I told her to sit in car.... I"m on my WAY!... No no she says,,, I can do it... I say,,, I'll meet you at emergency room!! No no she sez,, I can get home ( all the while crying hysterically ) I ring my hands... I start ironing Mr. B's chef's clothes... I start panicking... Uncle Ken goes downstairs to do yard work.... Mr. B telling me to pack him... He needs this and that... I tell him he needs to go get his last minute things himself... Disposable camera, etc. etc. She arrives, I wake our little H (who won the draw the night before to sleep in miss P's bed alone) and tell her miss P has arrived and is in pain. She jumps up... And I knew Miss P was in a bad way. The kids all get up with questions.... When are we leaving? This will be great!... Miss P, cries and cries in pain... Let's go to the emergency room now I say.... She had called her Doctor and had an appointment at 2:30 and thought she could wait.... At noon we called the ambulance.... They said kidney stones... Get to emergency room, save the 1000.00 cab ride, they couldn't administer pain med's and they would call ahead and give them her vitals... Off we went...... Yes, after, IV, Blood work, Xray, C-scan etc. etc. a 4mm stone ... Mr. B is panicking... Kids are panicking, they wanted to keep her in hospital... Gave her awesome pain meds... Drips.... Nausea drip.... Oh yeah,,,, she was throwing up continually all morning and at hospital.
Needless to say.... Mr. B called a friend to take our truck to drive him to Miami, forgot his itinerary etc. etc.... He dropped the kids at ole' stand by Sugarloaf Pool while he did his last minute prep stuff... Picked up Mickey D's in KW and off he went! Uncle Ken took the bus to KW due to work in the morning... I got Miss P home and settled and took kids to get RX's.... Okay,,,, are you tired of reading yet? Okay,,,, I'll cut it short... Drop Med's off... Pet store closed.. Wait for Med's... Come home, give to Miss P... Find out they didn't give Pain Med's... Call Pharmacy... 8PM... They are closing... The Pharmacist tells me she will meet me on her way home from work at a set local... I wait in a parking lot... We do a drug deal in parking lot.. (I'll go and pay tomorrow) She knew Miss P needed Pain Pills.... Come home... RED SOX are on... Try to watch game with kids... L & H do their phone calls to friends... Miss C Miss P and I yelling at TV... Get call to Fax Mr. B his plane information.. Get Nan's call... She WILL have a good exam for her arm tomorrow!!!!!! ... Okay,,,, Mr. B.... Love you call... Miss C makes Chocolate Mousse desert with the Magic Bullet..... OH YEAH... Miss P wakes up for 9th inning WIN!!! OH yeah... All done... All okay... Miss P just walked by me finally ready to eat something after 3 days... Looks over my shoulder.... Don't you dare write about me!!!! Bull she*t... Go to bed,,, drink your water.... Go strain your pee for the stone.... Are you still with me??? ... Okay,, guess what I do tomorrow? WAKE UP Mr. B for his flight!!! At 5 am... Go pay for the RX at 8am... 10 am Mr. L's friend gets dropped off... Mr. L has dental cleaning at noon, while we get stuff for cooler for beach... Let me tell yah.... At 1:30 tomorrow,,, I'll be sleeping under a coconut tree hoping one falls... JUST KIDDING
I just hope Miss P doesn't call with the :"Passing of the Stone": call. LOL
Are you STILL .... With me? Good.... Light a candle... Say a prayer... And know tomorrow will be a better day.... Good Night!!! I need my wine now, and the futon out on the upper deck... If a falling star hits me.... Know I went in PEACE...
Me and the Kids have major plans to keep!! And KNOW FOR SURE THAT I'LL NOT LET IT BURN ME!!!! WE HAVE PLANS TO KEEP!!

I hope Polly passes the stone soon. One of my college roommates went through this; she was miserable for three days, but once she passed the stone, she was perfectly fine. So the sooner, the better for Miss P!
ReplyDeleteNothing like a nice relaxing day in Paradise. Please pass a "good luck and have fun" to Mr. Bill on his way to Alaska.
sheesh.....I need a freakin nap just reading this. Miss P....I am sorry you are in pain. I know several people who get those damn things...next time you'll know what it is and they say they are easier to pass. Feel better sweetie. You have a big day coming up in a week that you need to be healthy for!!! Get those kids to wait on you for a couple days!
ReplyDeleteToday will be better for all. Hang in there N. You deserve a day on the beach with a good bottle of wine! Be kind to her girls. Love to all.
