ER Visits

Hello hello! I'm back in Spokane after a wonderful weekend with the family. We enjoyed burning some slash piles behind our house, in addition to making swags, playing games and visiting with extended family and friends. It was a lot of fun! And of course there was PLENTY of food to go around.



Since coming back, however, I've been pretty busy. Scott and I started to decorate the house as soon as I returned. We got the tree, a nativity scene and a swag up within a few hours and it all looks wonderful. The evening took a turn for the worse, however, when Scott started spitting up blood. He had visited the ER earlier in the morning (before I returned from my parent's house) and the problem reappeared in the late evening. Although the ER staff didn't do much at all besides give him ice to chew on, we stayed for 2.5 hours until the bleeding was mostly stopped. Today we went back to his surgery clinic and talked with his doctor to make sure he was okay. Modern medicine is quite amazing, by the way. After spraying what looked like breathe spray in the back of his mouth to numb it, the doctor used what looked like a matchstick to cauterize the bleeding. He was a little annoyed, as we were, that the ER staff hadn't taken the extra step to do it, but o-well.

Now it's just back to the job-search grind stone. Today I am a beluga and a chai.
