SCARY WEATHER! Mood
Thursday, July 24, 2008

Hi there, it's Thursday. Welcome!

 

We had some really scary storms here last night. The lightening was extremely bright and just kept going and going (like the energizer bunny), one continuous flash after another...then the thunder just boomed. I'm a full grown adult, but I gotta tell ya, this stuff was scary! We were under a tornado watch for over an hour in our county. I don't remember that EVER happening here in Joisey!! As I sit at the window this morning, it's still dark outside and there is still thunder rumbling out there. Needless to say I slept fitfully, but I'll catch up on that later this morning.

 

Today is Bobby's stress test. He and I are both a bit nervous about it. He has very little lung to do this with and he's not allowed to have contrast dye because of his kidney insufficiency...so we're not quite sure what they're doing to do with him.

 

Anyway, he has been fasting since  last night, no coffee or anything this morning, and he's been up since five. His appointment is at eleven. Then they tell him it will be a three hour test. SO this man is a hungry, anxious, six foot bear right about now. Wish I could feed him. I'll make sure he has his favorite beef and noddles for supper tonite. At least when he gets home he'll have something to look forward to!

 

So off I go to help him get mentally prepared for a long day. Just a little talking and hugging and re-assurance and loving oughta do it. I've asked him if he wants me to go with him. He doesn't. He knows he's going to spend a lot of time waiting and he doesn't want to put me through that. So we will just pray together before he leaves, that the test will go smoothly and he won't have any difficulties!

 

My heart is with Bobby right now...gonna go sit with him for a while.

 

Love you all, have a good day. Hope it's not so glooooomy where you are!!!

    here in East TX from the 'ol Dolly Hurricane.
    WAS scary last nite, but didn't get much of any rain ......passed very fast.
    Praying for you about Bobby.
    He will be okay and in good hands.
    You just try to stay in a calm peaceful state of mind, ok? Breathe deeply and exhale SLOWLY!

    LOL about what littlemisstracy2u said!!
    "remind him there IS food on other side of tests!" Ha.
    Gotta run here....my heart is in FLIP FLOP mode today...horible show I watched and makes me SICK!

    Thinking of Bobby too....lots of hugs and prayers go out to him....
    I know all about those crazy storms...hit hard here too....lots of flooding....be careful stay dry....my canoe may come in real handy if this weather keeps up like this. Good investment Darla...saves on gas and it's very cheap compared to cars...no A/C though :(

    I'm hoping everything went well. I know that they can do a medicine-induced stress test, where they speed up the heart with medicine instead of exercise...maybe that's what they did? I'll wait to read your report on it. Hoping everything tested okay! *HUGS*
