A Few of My Pretties

I've been sick again. Last week and again on Monday. This is getting too regular. I spent most of the day at the hospital yesterday. After running a slew of tests - I have stones in my gallbladder but that was not the root of my illness. Doctors determination was that I am having gastric problems. Had there been infection in my gallbladder they would have removed it yesterday. He has recommended that I go to my doctor at Victory Health (a not for profit facility created and run by doctors and volunteers who provide care to those who are employed but have no insurance). I hate going to the doctor these days. All it means to me is lost time at work that cannot be made up not to mention the cost to go the doctor. I feel like I am digging a hole and it is getting deeper. Sorry guys I hate to whine but that is where I'm at.

On another note I am about to give up on the idea of having a veggie garden. The area is tilled and cleaned. I just can't see me working it and keeping it up this year. I think it is getting to be too much. I am feeling old lately and whining a lot about my problems. I hate that I do that. ENOUGH of that.


Imagine my surprise and what a nice one it was yesterday when I came home from the hospital to step out to this little beauty. I am so happy that they are going to bloom since they were just planted in mid January. It was a good buy - $5 for 55 bulbs.
I was happy to see that this snapdragon was blooming. I love the colors - lavender and white. This one I planted last year and it has come back. yea!

The azaleas are about to burst open. The bushes are full and are beginning to open. The azaleas are on display in nearly everyone's yard here on the coast and along the streets.

The bridal wreath is stunning here. They are blooming everywhere.

Hope you all have a great day and good gardening.

Last Night it Was The Hospital

Ya'll I am not a hypochondriac. I became so sick yesterday morning. I spent the day hugging the toilet. I hurt so bad all I could do was rock back and forth and moan and cry. When I lay down all I could do was squirm. I became dehydrated since I couldn't hold any liquids on my stomach. My man friend came to check on me and wouldn't take no for an aswer about the hospital. I have never had such pain that it caused me to be delireous but I was confused and could not think reasonable at all. The ER sent me home with an RX for pain and phenagren suppositories. They say I had 2 injections while at the hospital but I don't remember much of anything. I don't recall them telling me what was wrong. Probably a stomach bug.

I am feeling a little better today - no pain except lots of soreness and tender feeling in my abdomen. I am at work today. I wish I could have stayed home but since our hours have been cut already it is going to kill my pocket book to lose another days work.
