White Rock, Feb. 17th, 2010

Pete, being "reflective" LOL!
The sun was nice and warm

This was Pete's lunch, fish and shrimp....YUMMY!

I had the fish and chips with dill sauce, it was SOOOOO YUMMY!

Enjoying the sights and sounds of the day :)

Pete was SO happy to be out in the sun, and not stuck in bed :)

So it was sunny today, and Pete didn't want to spend the day in bed. So, he put insurance on the Maverick, and off to White Rock we went! LOL! He was medicated all day, and happy :) We had a really fun day!

I have not posted in forever, sorry. Christmas, health issues in the family, and pretty much life, got in the way. Will be posting more often now, I promise. Just wanted to let you know we are still here...LOL!

Our newest family member........Jessey!

We got her from the flea market. There was a guy there, GIVING kittens away, since he had too many. There is nothing wrong with the kittens, he just had too many. I got to name PJ, so Pete named this little girl, Jessey (after his daughter). PJ and Jessey have been trying for the last hour or so, to get to know each other. Clearly, this is going to take time.
They have both been hissing and growling at each other, but I'm sure that soon enough, they will be friends....they just need some time :)

For Halloween this year, we decided to "stay in". Which meant, going over to the neighbors, for food and fun!

Pete, about to try some of Rob's drink
Mmmmmm......the food!Laughing SO hard, I was crying...I hadn't laughed THAT hard, in a long time! Cindy, laughing so hard, she almost spit out her food! LOL! If one is good, then two is better???

Yesterday I had a headache all day. I thought, no big deal. Around 5pm. I started feeling nauseated, and got the hot/cold chills, and body aches. It felt like post chemo pains, but I knew it wasn't. I took my pre-chemo med cocktail, hoping that it would do the trick, and then took a hot bath. After a hot bath, I felt even worse!!! I then started getting an upset stomach! I asked Pete to take me to the hospital. We got there, and at the front desk, I told the gal my symptoms, and right away she asked Pete and I to put masks on. She told us we could not go back into the waiting room, and told us, we would be segregated to a different area, behind closed doors. We had to sit in theses chairs. It was at this point we found out that it would be FOUR HOURS before I would see a doctor!!!!!!! I kept getting worse, and then the diarrhea kicked it! I ALWAYS have meds with me in my pill container, and thank goodness for that. I was popping Imodium like it was candy, and it was NOT working! I knew I was in trouble. We sat there for an hour and a half while medical staff walked by and ignored us. It wasn't until I threw up ALL over, that they rushed me to a bed to lay down, and they hooked me up to I.V. right away. I had two bags of fluids, in one hour! They said I was severely dehydrated! After blood, urine and stool samples, they concluded it WASN'T N1H1, like they had originally thought, just the REALLY bad flu. Finally we got home at 2am. The doctor said LOTS of Gatorade and rest for the next couple of days. He said I am highly contagious and to avoid people.

I was feeling really rotten still at this point
Pete had worked all day and was exhausted. He caught a few winks, sitting up. Poor guy. I was exhausted!!!!! Tired, beyond tired. Pete was such a trooper!!! He tried to make me laugh, rubbed my back for me, grabbed me warm blankets, helped me to the bathroom a million times.


I still feel pretty rotten today, but not as weak as yesterday. Thank you for all your prayers.
