A Press...Muscles, Loins and a Thief.

Good morning, friends...

Sorry I'm late to the party but have been a tiny bit busy.

This is called a heat press. It's weight, in the box, is approximately 55 pounds. My husband has always been a very active guy. So... he decided he could carry this heavy box from the street, into the house and around to the back playroom...without a dolly. He is now 76.

Here's my husband, Larry, today. He ended up in the hospital because of bladder complications...

He couldn't urinate...He was fine one minute and several hours later, he couldn't "go". He had lifted the heat press two days prior.

It was his birthday (on the 14th) ...Tim and daughter Crystal, came to help him celebrate. They leave and that's when he decided to tell me. Needless to say, I got him to the hospital fast. Long story short... IF he hadn't lifted that 55 pound box...he would have probably died of bladder cancer...it pulled something in his bladder...most likely a growth and it blocked him...with a blood clot....yes, that's what they found when they ran test. The Urologist said if left, it would not be a pleasant thing. . . He got all the growths cleaned out and said he was almost positive the growths weren't the really aggressive type of cancer. Treatable...Six weeks of chemo bladder washes...one per week. But we'll still wait on the biopsy results, due back in about a week. This type of cancer is silent and sneaky...no pain...Ask your doctors to do urine test yearly!

My sister's (Ruth Ann) re-attachment surgery also took place on Friday the 13th...Larry's problem happened on Saturday, the 14th....his birthday...they are now in rooms 1507 and 1509. I'm a crazy woman...There's really only me to help both of them...My beautiful daughter came to be with me yesterday while Larry's procedures were done...did I say what a Godsend she is? Larry's side of the family is...well...just not there...I want to say useless but that might be unkind so I won't say that. Crys has to leave today though. Which is fine, I've got this. I'm bringing Larry home this morning...My sister won't be leaving for another few days so I can run up and still watch over her.

I'm a crazy woman...but me and God's got this...seriously. There's no other option.

I've girded my loins...I'm good...

Daughter Crystal and our sweet peach, Sloane.

At the birthday visit, before all the other happened...everyone had a sweet time. Pops and

Sloaneygirl having fun in her pool. She's not happy he's stolen her blankie...sun hat...baby and blankie! lol

Sloane...our heart...

Lol...right!

In other news...I bought this little puppy. I want to learn embroidery done on machines. This machine is a Baby Lock Aurora. It sews and embroiders.

I love anything Sherlock Holmes. I just threw this one in the donate bag...As well as I could ascertain, it's about a female relative of Sherlocks. Terribly confusing... I was either too tired to figure it all out or...it's just not my cuppa tea.
