Black flies and Snow flies: Weekly update September 6th 2020

Hi everyone,

Time for my weekly update..

This was a off-week.

Monday morning I picked up Mom to take her for her blood work for her upcoming Dr. visit. Dad was still asleep when we left. We picked up some meat from the butcher shop. Arrived home to find Dad awake but not feeling well... Heart attack with chest pains and difficulty breathing. So he went to hospital and due to new rules we spent several hours playing phone tag and trying to get answers. Visiting is limited to 4-8 pm and only 1 visitor per day. Duration of visit in the patient room. Once the visitor leaves, can not return later. They admitted Dad and scheduled him for a cardiac cath the next morning. Dad has a blockage but it is not able to be fixed due to the location. They changed some of his meds and sent him home late Wednesday afternoon... Hopefully these changes and the increased blood thinner will help him. This coming week we have more Dr. visits and tests.

Thursday and Friday I spent at least half the day on the phone trying to get all follow up appointments re-scheduled - especially since he missed his eye surgery post-op appointment. I had to change Mom's primary appointment as there were no openings for Dad within the required time frame.. so Dad got Mom's appointment as she will go at the end of the month. Tuesday I will have more changes to make as we had made an appointment for DH to have car inspected... and Dad has 2 other appointments that now conflict with the tests.

Friday we got a call as DH's blood work showed something amiss. The health center was supposed to call back as they wanted another test done before Tuesday but Monday is a holiday... ugh... They never called back. Thankfully, he called them after 2 hours of nothing and was able to make arrangements.

I started this bookmark on Friday while I was waiting for phone calls to come in... I could work at our table that is right near our phone.
