Sparky

This is Sparky, aka Tom my Father-In-Law.

Finally, as of last Saturday, the wood floor has been laid in the dinning room…the last floor to be completed! Yippie! I was still dealing with back issues so Larry did most of the work by himself. We are such a team and it was hard to not be helping. Well, I helped a little, but not much. Guess that’s pay back for me doing the majority of the painting. Ha! We are getting closer and closer to having the house ready. We still have unfinished projects to do but the list if getting shorter.

I have a new project that I hope to get to sometime next week. We needed a queen and full headboard. I found a headboard and footboard for $10. I am going to refinish it and I hope it turns out good. I’m always redoing something!

Molly went to Summer school on Thursday with Laura. They are having pet days and Thursday was Laura’s day. Molly did well and of course everyone loved her. Who wouldn’t? She is a cutie!

Friday the 20th...At this moment we are sitting at the hospital and Sparky is in having his heart Cath. We went to St. Luke’s East which is where he had his last procedure. Well, once we got there and got him checked in one of the nurses came out to inform us that the “machine” was down. Someone was to be there at 9am with a part to fix it. However, they were not there at 9. So we could wait and “maybe” the part would fix the problem and no other parts would be needed. IF it was fixed, he would have his procedure, if not, we would be rescheduled for Monday. OR, we could go to Overland Park to St. Luke South and have it done today. So, we decided to go with the for sure thing and we are at South. We brought our computers along this time. Larry is catching up on work stuff and I’m bloggin’. Took a break from reading my book but I am anxious to get back to it.

UPDATE…Well, I wrote this blog earlier and the site was down and I couldn’t post it. So it is now 11:35pm and we are home from the hospital. I know, you are thinking…What is she doing bloggin’ this time of night? I don’t know that answer because we are tired and I hear my pillow calling my name. Anyway, to report on Sparky…The procedure went well and they placed the 2 stents. When he got out of recovery he was having discomfort in his chest and he was really wanting to sleep. He said that this one was worse on him than the last one. The nurse said that the discomfort was not unusual. Sparky said, “You guys go and do whatever you need to do”. Larry asked, “Are you grumpy and sleepy and want us to leave”? He said, “Something like that”! So we left him alone to sleep. We laughed when we got to the hallway. It was funny! We goofed off and went back later and he was snoring so we took Aunt Carol to dinner then went back to check on him. He was feeling a lot better and was laughing and talking. We were glad to see him feeling better. We chatted for a while and then made our journey home from Overland Park (For all you GA folks that’s the edge of Kansas City) We got home and Molly was OH SO happy to see us. She was home alone for at least 15 hours and she was super excited!

Ok, time to get some shut eye. Got to get to the hospital in the morning to get Sparky.

Lots of love to all!
