It Has Been Hectic!!

 

Superstition Mountains from Kay's backyard

Where do I start.  My journey this winter has been a little dramatic, hectic, unexpected so far.  You pick the adjective.

Sunday - January 7

The morning started with me taking it slow with breakfast and my online games with family and friends.  I decided since it is such a nice day, I would relax and take it easy today.  My host Kay and her friend Dean are leaving around Noon to fly to Minnesota to take Kay's son, Gary for medical treatment and will be gone till the 20th.

I saw them off with a wave and Yuma and I sat outside in the warm afternoon sunshine.  It is cool for this time of year with highs in the mid-fifties, but that feels great to me.  It's the low 30s at night that are really cold.  I have no propane and it is cold in here.  I'll buy some small tanks tomorrow for my space heater.

That leaves Kay's mother and her mother's sister at home with a friend of Kays, Clea to cook and help them with their needs.  Clea invited me over for dinner so that evening I went over to have dinner.  

Just as we were going to eat, Clea went to check and see why Kay's mother hadn't returned from feeding the dog.  She came rushing back in from the garage to get me because Kay's mother had fallen on the sidewalk just outside the garage side door and couldn't get up.  She was in a lot of pain when trying to move her right leg.

It took me and Clea a good half hour to get her into a wheelchair that was one of Gary's old ones and get her into the house.  She is 89 years old.  Once in the wheelchair she didn't have the pain.  Annie, Kay's mother was adamant that we didn't call Kay, nor did she want to go the emergency room.   Like a couple of dummies, we did something we would regret.  We abided by her wishes hoping it was just a bruise.  We would take her to the emergency room in the morning, if she did not feel much better.  

By the time I got back to the WL, it was very late, so no Blog.  It's getting late so, I am going to let you know what happens on Monday, so stay tuned.

Thanks for stopping by.
