5 hour wait

last week was quite the week...it went something like this.

sunday - church, then was sick
monday - figured out i had the stomach flu
tuesday - flu...stayed in bed till 12:45
wednesday - flu...went to dr...went home to lay back down...sick all day...go to ER...5 hour wait...WHAT...yes, 5 hour wait...my dr was able to get me to labor & delivery...wonderful people...wonderful fluids and drugs
thursday - feeling better...mamma came to visit!!! :)...feeling much better
friday - feeling lots better...gardened all day with mamma...my gardens thank her for coming
saturday - grad party...massages...movie night
sunday - john's birthday (happy birthday!!)...cirque de solei show

...so back to the 5 hour wait. it was a bit insane (understatement). the nurse wasn't joking. she wasn't too friendly or happy either. i walked out of the ER and told her i would rather be sick than wait 5 hours. i called my wonderful dr and they had never heard of a 5 hour wait before and said i couldn't wait 5 hours. then all of the sudden, on floor 2 (labor & delivery), there were smiling faces waiting to see me with a warm bed and a wonderful IV of fluids/drugs. it changed my whole attitude towards having to be there :) john got to watch espn. even better.

it really was a great week...in the end :) loved having my mamma here! i told her she could stay, but i think she needed someplace to plant her car full of flowers. she really did have a car full. her bags sat shotgun on the way home :)
