Hubby said he was steady enough to get down the stairs and out to the car. Are you? I finally called for an ambulence. He slept. Three burly EMTs showed up. Gawked at the house for a second then asked if it was me that needed a ride! Me bent over my cane. No. In the house. Upstairs. By then I'd woken hubby, advised him to get some clothes on and headed out to manage the dogs. I felt it was worth every penny, having burly EMTs in front and behind hubby on the narrow old wooden steps. SO......2:30 afternoon until just midnight we were in the E R. Most of that time we waited. Hubby ended up having high blood sugar levels. Low magneseum and something else. Bladder infection. He was given Ringers so he must have been dehydrated. And a list of docs that have to open their doors to him. The lack of medical care in this county is frightening. He also received an injection of Benadryl to help him with the nausea. I didn't know that Benadryl helped with that. These days I generally don't drive after 9 pm. So getting us home last night in one piece at midnight was a slow chore. There's a turn off that could have landed us on the freeway, headed to Portland, Oregon. Zero traffic. Thank God. I just missed that total goof. I hope everyone has a grand pigging out day with family. My cats are fed and medicated. I may get a quick doze then go drag plastic Santa from the shed. I need his silly cheer.
