Long, Slow, Waiting

I hurried home last night to quickly do the chores and feed Elsa before loading her back up in the Tesla to drive up to Babcock Ranch to pick up Sadie whom I am watching for a few days while Ali and Shugs are out of town.  Shugs dad and girlfriend are staying at their house.  They have a place on Fort Myers Beach that took heavy damage from Ian.  They told me crazy stories about what they both experienced and some of their neighbors went through that decided to stay put.  One of those stories included swimming through storm surge to grab on to the railing of a house that was still intact, insane.

I had a quick bite to eat but didn’t stay that long as I had an hour drive back.  Sadie is really struggling.  Her ability to walk is minimal, her one eye looks like it has a cataract and the other eye has some type of infection that we are giving her eye drops for.  I feel bad for her as you can tell she wants to do all the things she used to do, her body just won’t allow it.

So I reached out to the med center repeatedly yesterday, wanting to get the results from the CT test I took.  The entire day passed without that happening, which annoys me.  Early this morning I got a call from them saying they wanted me to come in to go over the results.  I said I would prefer to just get them over the phone but they insisted it had to be done via an office visit, which I arranged for later this afternoon.  So my knee jerk reaction was that this meant there must be something bad in the CT, which could be the case.  However I have had to go into the office for other test results as well which weren’t necessarily bad results.  My buddy at work said recently he had to go in there just to get the results from his X-ray, which was clear.  They wouldn’t tell him on the phone.  So my hope is this is just a HIPPA thing where they are not allowed to disclose medical information on the phone.  Mid-afternoon I’ll be turning the page, one direction or another.

This weekend I have small projects around the house. I would like to continue on cleaning up the chicken area.  I can repurpose most of the Ring cameras that are out there and get rid of some more things that were only useful in my role as a chicken keeper.  I may go to a comedy show that Cindy’s brother is participating in locally.  I went to another one of his shows shortly after the split and it was a good time.  I could use a good laugh or two.
