Food for thought

I'm still trying to figure out how the Constitution clearly states abortion is protected yet clearly states guns are not.

Mom is home now and is feeling better. She came home yesterday afternoon. It was suggested that she use a walker for a period of time, just until she feels a little more steady. I got her a walker and sat it next to her, when she gets up she walks around it. This morning I ask her if she was going to use the walker. No was the answer so I took it to the basement.

It is snowing today. We had three inches of snow Thursday but it did not stick around to long. Melted by afternoon, this snow looks like it will last a little longer. Spring time in Utah, it will be a month until I feel safe putting in a garden.

I am a bit rattled today. I had taken the day off to hang with my mom, I was down stairs making breakfast and I heard a very loud thump. My mom had fallen; I raced up the stairs calling to her. She was down on the floor not able to get up. I thank God I was home when this happened. I got her back on the bed asking how she was. We sat there for awhile and she said that she was fine, I did not believe her. She stood up a little unsteady but managed to get to the bathroom. I ran back downstairs to turn off the stove. I was cooking ham and eggs. I got back and mom was walking down the stairs, I stood at the bottom and watched every step. I got her on the couch and asked how she was doing. Again all I could get out of her was FINE. I told her she was going to the emergency room and she got up to get dressed. Mom did not make it crossed the living room she was wobbly and had to sit in the rocker. I called 911 and the paramedics hauled her to the hospital. Mom was in the ER for 7 hours, some bone headed administrator would not admit her because there was not neurologist on call. The ER Doc tried and tried to get her admitted to couple hospitals in the area. One was full and one said that it was Davis hospital responsibility to admit her. The ER Doc finally found a DR that would go over the administrator head and get her admitted. I was mad beyond belief. But mom is in the hospital and I hope and pray that can find out what is wrong. They have ruled out inner ear, heart attack, stroke, and couple of other things. I am sure I will post more later.

It has been wonderful weather the past few days. I believe we are in for some snow and rain for the weekend. But spring is here and I am feeling great about it. I am taking tomorrow off from work. I am going to spend the day with my mom and just hang out. I am sure that I will take her to lunch and whatever else she may want to do. I came down stairs this morning and found mom sleeping on the couch. It appears the three dogs were sleeping with her on her twin bed. There just was not enough room so she left. I explained that I would have handled it a little differently but mom said it was okay. The bride and I are going to buy mom a queen size bed this weekend and there will be enough room for everybody. I guess as long as mom and the dogs are happy my life is going well. .

The past few days I have been so tired. I have done nothing out of the ordinary but I am having trouble getting out of bed in the morning and having any energy in the evenings. I fell asleep at work today. Woke up about 30 minutes before quitting time, I just grab my coat, keys and headed home. I got a little cat nap, it helped a little. I have tomorrow off and I plan to sleep in as long as I can. I just hope that I am not coming down with anything.

Most of the snow is gone from my backyard. It looks like I can hold off feeding the birds for awhile. There must be 20 lbs of bird seed on the ground. I'll let the little guys eat most of that before I put out more in the feeders.

I am getting fishing fever real bad, but most of the water in the state is too hard to fish and too soft to walk on. I don't trust the ice this time of the year. Oh well i'll put another log on the fire and just kick back.

I leave for San Diego right from work tomorrow. We have decided that I need to go down and check up on my mom's house. Just need to make sure that everything is going as good as we are being told.

What a beautiful day, blue skies and a warm sun. About noon today I grab a cup of coffee and sat out on the deck barefoot. It may have been only 32 degrees but it felt wonderful in the sun. The day started with a trip to the airport to send my sister back home. Not the best start to the day but it was time for her to go home. I got home and I split a bunch of firewood, I’ll do some more tomorrow. It was wonderful to be able to work outside. Then the coffee and sitting on the deck. The back yard is ¾ covered with snow but you can see it melting. It feels like spring is just around the corner. The weather man is saying that we will have a weekend storm but I don’t think it is going to be a big one. If it is mostly rain it will do a number on the remaining snow. Life just don’t get much better then this

Mom had a wonderful time at her party. Many friends showed up and there was food all over the place. Just a wonderful time
