   A rare appearance prior to 11 p.m CST
Yes...I am posting early for Monday! That's because I'm probably not going to maintain consciousness too far after 11 pm. That's what happens when one has only about 1.5 hours of sleep the night before!

Here's what happened:

  • I went to bed around 1 am.

  • I woke up around 2:30 thinking I needed a drink of water.

  • I was lying there debating whether or not to get up when I heard a noise downstairs.

  • It took a few times, but I finally realized it was my Dad calling for my Mom.

  • Went and woke Mom up so she could go down to see what was happening.

  • Went downstairs myself to see what happened.

  • Dad had fallen down... *sigh*

  • Mom called the ambulance to take Dad to the hospital.

  • Got dressed so I could drive Mom to Sioux City to the hospital.

  • Scraped off my car only to find I couldn't get it out of the driveway. *growl*

  • Mom gets their car out of garage & we drive to Sioux City.

  • Takes an hour to drive 30 miles! Remember it snowed yesterday....

  • Arrive at hospital around 4:30 and sit there waiting to see what's going on. Got lots of Gameboy playing done.

  • Around 7:30 brother arrives to take me home again, but we stop at McDonald's for breakfast

  • Get home around 8:30 and try to get ahold of a friend to have him take clothes into Sioux City for Dad, then remember friend went to Tuscon!

  • Call brother-in-law to have him take me back to Sioux City with stuff for Dad. He buys me a pop to help keep me awake.

  • Got stuff to Dad, find out what's wrong and that they won't be keeping him at hospital.

  • Get back home around 11 am and fall asleep in recliner watching TV.

  • Mom & Dad arrive home a little after noon and we have breakfast stuff for lunch... Mmmm...gotta love Aunt Jemima Breakfasts!

  • After lunch go out to living room... Dad is in recliner, Mom is on her glider/rocker, I'm on couch.

  • Tell Mom that I'm really not that tired at the moment, which is around 1:30, then promptly fall asleep for two hours.


So...that's why I'm tired. We now know why Dad's leg hurts so bad. He's got arthritis in the lower back and spinal stenosis. Mom had the spinal stenosis thing a few years ago and had surgery to take care of it. We don't know yet if Dad's gonna need the surgery, but if so, he wants it done as soon as possible.

So...it's now shortly after 10 pm. I'll see what sites I can hit before my brain shuts down. But I'm fading fast....

Laters!
