Time to update on life with Granny... Some of these stories are posted on my facebook page, so bear with me if you are my friend...
Finally sold our Michigan home and with a long drawn out headache closed the Grand Prairie home in August. Mid-August the hubs flew back to help with the packers, movers, whatever we had to do. The packers came for 2 days.... We sat around the first day watching and twiddling our thumbs. They kept our beds together so we'd have a place to sleep. Packed the sheets but who needs those.. The second day started out same as the other... As the day progressed Granny started complaining of chest pain, couldn't breath... Her doctor had warned us of anxiety which could worsen during this time. In hindsight I should had gotten some meds for that. Anyhow off to the emergency room we go. The truck is loaded with stuff for the dump.. I asked the hubs, is that stuff ok, will it stay? Yes it will.. As I'm driving down the road mailing tubes are flying out of the truck... (When I ordered backdrops they are shipped in tubes). I am fuming.... I try to call the hubs... No answer, turn the corner and more fly out. I finally stop. An older gentlemen stopped and informed me I lost a bunch more back there... I politely nod and say thanks... I continue on after picking those up. Get to the hospital, get the nurses to come and wheel her in & I'm in prime form... The movers are at my house and she had anxiety and I don't have time for this..... After several hours they decide nothing is wrong however they will keep her.. (wise choice). I informed the nurses on the floor I may not be back much tomorrow, those movers you know....
The next day the truck is being loaded... I sent hubs up to check on her. I learn her pacemaker isn't working and she needs a new one! (award for most insensitive goes to me). Her chest pain wasn't from the pacemaker tho....
Trucks come and trucks go, hubby cleans the house, leaves for Texas with truck loaded and dog.. Granny and I will be flying down in 10 days, just a few days after getting her new pacemaker....
I was scheduled to shoot a wedding 3 days before our flight... Wedding was awesome, bride was beautiful.. weather cooperated....
Granny had a appt with her doctor before we left, (got those pills for anxiety)...
At first we were going to drive, then I thought about it 3 days in the car or 6 hrs of hell flying..... piece of cake.
Granny had never flown before. She actually did rather well. She didn't sleep but kept talking to me. It wasn't hell I was wrong. Hubby picked us up, got something to eat. Her room was basically set up (thanks to Hub). She went to bed and slept over 24hrs. We kept checking to make sure she was breathing.
Granny loves Texas, loves the warmth, loves the fact the sun shines daily.. We didn't get her in the pool this year, maybe next. She's adjusting slowly....
