Other than that, we had fun Monday July 23, 2007 -
my weekly triathadayWe made it to church late (Nat, Si and Chris went earlier).But I’m glad we went. I miss singing, but obviously could not make any additional commitments for this crazy month. We decided that Chris should stay home after and sleep since he’s been sick. Nat Ceeg & I went to the lake, as it’s supposed to rain much of the week. My birthday will be rainy. After 2 days sans workout (work sched and having to sleep all day Saturday)…finally we swam at the lake, & went across to buoy about 30x (more than 650 yards/0.4 miles)~ included 100 yards back, lots of breast interm. w/ free….total probably 0:18 to 20 min. pm Brick: 15.3 ride (yes, the hills too) in 59 min~slower than usual:legs were unusually heavy.Followed with a one mile run, 0.5 mile walk too. My right calf muscle is really tight & I needed to massage it mid-run. That’s all folks…

CJ kidnastics Slide Show!
actually saturdayCJ had his last kidnastics for the week (with presentation….pics to come
 Also, his adhd consult with his ped went well and he will start on adderal. This gives us enough time to see if it will work for him rather than against him. Lots of energy & silliness today. Also I took nat and ceeg to wingate to see my unit and also to help aunt so get settled in! I can’t believe how good this worked out, that I was already sched. to work on her first day on my unit!
BUSY NIGHT!!!! But Aunt So had an uneventful and good first night on my unit, and I was allowed to be her nurse. We even had a chance to talk a little in the wee hours. I brought her knee highs, a small laundry basket, a little clock, some magazines, etc. She ate well and even had a cookie or two.
I did not leave Wingate until 4am this morning, (there were 3 admissions on days and my other nurse had to send out THREE different people from her side to VBH, constant call bells, trach & GT stuff happening, etc!)
I am proud to say Aunt So practically slept through it all
but she did cough a little. I peeked in on her every hour and she was snoring. I talked with her around 3am and she still has a good outlook and her vitals are great, as usual. I also got an order for benadryl 25 mg prn rhinitis sx or insomnia, but she didn"t need it tonight! She"s a little concerned about
1. her mail should be held via the post office and
2. she has one bill for the end of the month that needs attention.
It"s now 5am… I"ll be sleeping until the afternoon! No church picnic for me tomorrow.
Tired, but feeling really accomplished. did a lot today…

Ok, so I have yet to fill you in.Haven’t had a chance to think, much less write. It’s been a bad crazy couple of days.My Aunt is still in the hospital, and will most likely be d/c’d tomorrow afternoon. I am working evenings tomorrow so susan graciously volunteered to drive her home for us. We also are discussing her going thru the rehab program where I work Yesterday was I think a possessed day. Everything fell (no, it actually FLEW) apart. Natalie had a breakdown. Then i had a breakdown. Everyone is stressed out to no end. Everyone is affected by each other in such a dysfunctioal in my extended family. i need to eat healthier. had an apple and bananna for bkfast while driving natalie to her band lesson, dropping off cj at kidnastics, picking her back up, and driving sienna to gram’s a little earlier today.I also finally bought some new towels! tuesday: & wednesday ::(I lied, it was actually early Wed.am, that i ran, not tuesday… but I wanted to run again at night, so there.)
wednesday—

pm: 19.5 mile ride in 1:12~good hard ride after a long hard day. Running will wait for the AM. Maybe tomorrow will be better. Wow- I usually love Mondays. They are for the most part productive and well-run. Today was neither. My Aunt grew ill w/ her GERD and "couldn’t breathe" so my mother sent an ambulance. After I picked up CJ from Kidnastics we headed over to Grams and I dropped off the kids. I thought I’d only be a couple of hours, since they were most likely just going to d/c her anyway. Her V/S, EKG and labs were all perfect. I was there with her untill almost 6pm, in the same ER curtain. They then told us our MD has decided to admit her to do more GI eval , so I left (I didn’t have to drive her all the way to Pawling, so that was good too.) Luckily Chris picked up the kids and got them some BK since I couldn’t cook dinner. My other Aunt called about 12 times and yelled at me b/c she didn’t realize that my machine picking up was really not ME, lol! I called her to tell her I had been at the hospital, and filled her in. She stopped yelling. What a family. But God’s heart. It’s so patient and kind. I allowed Him to use me today. So I guess it was quite productive after all. I hopped on the bike to escape for a while and punch it all out on the tires. Daring is not even the word. I wanted to get past mile 20 but I ran out of water. CJ is enjoying his Spiderman 3 ps2! He also loved Kidnastics. Natalie is a basket case. Sienna is coughing a lot and pretty much a zombie. where’s my Merlot?
