The Rain is Pouring

It's said that when it rains, it pours, and right now we need some umbrellas around here!

I was driving Craig's car and headed to Indianapolis when I had a tire blow out.

Luckily I was still in town and not on the interstate, but I had to have his car towed. His car will be in the shop for a couple of days; meanwhile we are sharing my car and coordinating our schedules.

Teacher Daughter Lisa had a medical issue necessitating a ride in the ambulance to the ER. I got one of those calls that terrify parents telling me she was ill and to get to the hospital. Luckily she is okay and I took her home after four hours in the ER. She's been resting comfortably and will be able to return to work tomorrow. (That's Molly doing her circus dog imitation which always makes Lisa smile.)

I have been sent to physical therapy to address some long term joint issues and a new one - I have torn my rotator cuff.  Ever had dry needling? I'm having that therapy and am sore, but it's working. I'm going twice a week for the next six weeks.

Craig has come down with the flu and is really sick. He's an easy patient, but I am concerned about him.

Finally, I got some personal medical news I did not want - last Saturday I found a large swelling under the incision from my pancreatic surgery. After watching it a few days, I had it checked and was told I have an incisional hernia. It looks like I will be having surgery again in the near future. I am NOT excited about that.

I'll try to blog regularly, but things are a little hectic right now and I may miss a day or two. Please bear with me. 

And pass me that umbrella!
