Well I didn't have the intention of have a Catchy Weekday related title to my blog each day but so far this week that is the way that it has worked out! Yesterday around lunch Chad text me and asked me to see about getting him a Dr appt because his knee is bothering him. I called our Dr and they said he is no longer an active patient there as he has not been since 1998! Yes, I know that sounds crazy to most of you but he is not generally sick. In the 14 years that we have been together he has only had a few problems 2 of those being surgery on his wrist (one of which was just a few weeks after we started dating the other just a year after we were married) Other than that the only other time he has seen a Dr was in the ER for a REALLY BAD case of Poison Oak. Don't get me wrong he has seen a Dr since 98 but it's been for his DOT physical that they send him to for work and that is the Dr they send him to.
So here was our dilemma, wait 2 days for them to call and let us know if they would accept him as an active patient again or send him to the ER. I told him he just needed to go to the ER as the Dr would end up sending him to get X-Rays anyhow. (Mind you his knee bothered him for 4 or 5 days before he bothered to tell me about it!!!!!)
So off to the ER he went after work, they did blood work and x-rays, nothing broken but it is a very bad sprain. He is to keep it wrapped and to stay off of until next week, they even gave him crutches as they don't want him bearing any weight on it for the next several days................So Tuesday turned out to be a crazy day in our house but that's nothing new. He took it easy and for the most part slept pretty decent last night. He took off the rest of the week and will be at home. I am sure that he is using his crutches and resting like he should while I am away at work!!! (sense the sarcasm in the afformentioned statement!)
On a good note, spoke with Uncle Fred yesterday evening after his visit with Pop and all is going well on the road to coming home. They are going to unhook him from everything today and see how that goes. If it all goes well he will get to come home tmrw!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am going down after work to check on him and make sure that all is well and that he will get to come home tmrw! (Thanks to Megan and Chris for coming to help with the kids this evening)
