Dr. Day

I'm kind of tired. We were up at 3:ish this morning. Gk got up and didn't want to hang out alone so we watched some t.v and dozed until the sun came up : )
He had a doctor apt at 12:40. That went really well except for the point when the Doctor asked him why he didn't go into the Hospital for his high blood pressure yesterday. Gk pointed at me and said, "well doc, you know I don't drive much any more, she must have forgot". Ya, sure I did. He wouldn't go. Lucky for me the doctor knew better and just gave GK the stink eye I know your lyin' look and moved on. So, he put him on a diuretic to reduce the swelling in his ankles and feet and bring down his blood pressure.

Then we came home and I got to watch General Hospital and see how the lawn mower Mike fixed up for me (I'll take a picture) turned out.
Then it was time to go back to town for his x-ray and MRI.
Gk has to take "prescription relaxation" to deal with the "tube".
To say the least he is entertaining when medicated.
On the way home in the car, he found a half eaten package of cotton candy pop rocks. He finished off the whole package and was left wanting more. Pretty funny to see your doped up Grampy chomping on pop rocks smelling of cotton candy saying..."say, these are pretty good. Think we can get some more of these somewhere"?
So right now, he's heading farther out into left field. The medication takes six to eight hours to wear off. He just sent Mike to town to pick up a half carton of cigerettes. He hasn't smoked in over twenty years ; )
I think Mike will more than likley just come home with some burgers and fries.

See Ya!
