Well Wednesday saw me back down off the mountain after a morning of working around the cabin alone as Nancy was still in the hospital down in Elkin. I started the day with well before 5 rollout as I had lots to do on my mind and besides I could work as long as I wanted to with out any advice from her. I did my morning routines that begin with some quiet times to honor my lord, JESUS, give thanks for another day and to lift up several by name. All are holding and I would learn later in the late afternoon that Nancy would be released from the hospital. She did fine on her nuclear stress test but her BP was still some what elevated and they finally put her on an additional BP medicine which really helped.
I worked outside after posting this ramble as daylight had broken finishing up another large veggie bed in the back woods yard. I also worked up another bed for the marigolds and now just need to get the seeds in the ground as well as the circle drive bed. I'll wait to get the rotor tiller to work that ground up and plant bedding annuals. I stayed busy right up until 11 when I then headed down off the mountain to the hospital. Nancy had just got back from the stress test and was doing alright but still had a red face which worried her. I think a big issue with her BP is anxiety and worry which causes lots of stress.
I stayed at the hospital until 3'ish then made a trip over to Lowes for a new battery for the lawn mower which luckily they had as Wal-mart didn't have any. Its a different model but in the same class so I'm hoping it will work. She called me and let me know she would be going home with me after all which was good news as her BP while still elevated some what but was being lowered by this new medicine. The hospital called in two medicines to Sparta so we headed there to pick up those scripts. Before we left Elkin we ran by to visit briefly with Helen and then she was able to get an appointment by phone with a local doctor regarding her care while in the mountains. That was a blessing so we will head back down the mountain today for a 1:30 appointments and then again next week for a new patient enrollment.
Well after getting back in Sparta we stopped at the Food Lion for some goodies for supper and then made a stop at the meat market for some veggie seedlings. I hope to get some of them in the ground this morning or at least this afternoon after we do our main shopping while in Elkin at Wal-Mart and Lowes for flowers and more veggie seedlings. We still have lots to do to get ready for Amy and Family on Sunday, but I'm just glad Nancy's BP has stabled. It was down in the 130's by bed time. I watched a little of the Ray's game that was a bust after leading the game early. By 9:30 I was ready for some shut eye, LATER
