- Friday 5pm, left work and headed to the mall. Unsuccessful at finding shoes, but successful at finding a few other things.
While on my way to pickup Mark at work, got a call that Barb was on her way to the emergency room. Grabbed a quick bite at Taco Bell with Mark (was supposed to eat lots of pasta in prep for my long run Saturday morning), so didn't eat much.
- Waited with Barb until they took her back, drugs, xray, ctscan, discovering a fracture, postponed the Saturday morning run, consumed 2 bags of chips, hearing the same drug-induced story mutiple times, and about 5 hours later... on the way home.
- 1:30am, Barb was rested in bed, Mark was on his way to pick up the perscriptions and pizza. We ate food and then fell asleep on the couch until Barb's 4am drug dosage. The drugs were working so well that when I woke her up she realized she had completely forgotten she was injured ;)
- 8am medication, 10am medication (4 and 6 hour incriments) and I finally got out of bed.Barb didn't.
Here's what I did yesterday:
made breakfast
watched a movie
cleaned up the kitchen
not sure what else, but it wasn't productive ;)
gave Barb regular medication, food, pillows or anything else she needed
cleaned 1.5 bathrooms
walked down to get the mail
checked email
watched another movie
put some clothes away
threw a load in the laundry
watered plants
wrote a few thank you cards
ate dinner and watched another movie
It was an all-in-all very relaxing day and I can't remember the last time I didn't go anywhere all day, it was kind of fun.
Today I made it out long enough to run 15 miles (4 miles shorter than we were supposed to go). I REALLY did NOT want to go, but was glad I did and was actually surprised I made it out. After yesterday's home day, I didn't want to go anywhere! But I did.
Other than running and hitting the store for coffee, jam, and pancakes supplies, I've pretty much just eaten, rested, helped Barb get settled on the couch, continued to give her medication and now I'm going to try and get myself in the shower. But I HATE showering in the middle of the day and hate showering in general so am not sure what kind of things I might find to distracted myself with between now and then. Although I might eat first since I'm hungry, again.
So, that's been my life this weekend. The nice thing is that I didn't have too many plans so staying home with Barb while she's recovering a little, worked out just fine.
4 weeks, 1 hour and 40 minutes from right now, the ceremony starts! But who's counting ;)

Barb is being loved and cared for so well by you. Such a special relationship the two of you have!
It must have been nice to have Mark keep you company through some of it AND get an outing in!
Please tell Barb that we are praying for a smooth and quick recovery!
