We got up at 7, but didn't get out of bed until 8. Then it was pet stuff and breakfast before going to do the wash. After the wash we went to Touchmark.
Mom was in bed (surprise). We woke her up and got her going. It took her quite awhile to get out of bed, go to the bathroom, and comb her hair. It would have taken longer except the drug lady came in and helped with the hair and hearing aids.
We took Mom to the quick mart/bar/sandwich/coffee place that's down the road from Touchmark. It was expensive, but good. After we were finished eating we moved to the gas fireplace they had on the deck. We got into a conversation with a woman who was planning on moving her sister into Touchmark.
We took Mom home after that. We got there at 2, just in time for the lady to take her on a walk. A ceramic bird was in pieces on the floor. We couldn't figure out how it happened, or even where it had been placed before it fell. We went home after that, traffic was OK.
We surfed for about an hour when we got home, and then went shooting. Lucy spent a lot of time out in the grass field and came back licking her chops.
We had dinner - sloppy joes and scalloped potatoes. We were watching TV about 8 when Lucy suddenly got off the couch, staggered a little, and barfed. Then she staggered to the door. She barely made it down the steps and out on the grass. She staggered around a little and then barfed up everything she ate at dinner. Then she stood there shaking and then staggered back to the trailer. I lifted her up the steps and to the living room while Ellen called emergency.
We drove her to emergency in Tualatin. After an hour or so the doctor came ouiut and said that she appeared stable. He described a course of action - blood test, IV and IV lipids (soaks up poisons). We said go ahead. He's supposed to call us about the blood test about midnight.
I guess we'll stay up until the call.
