Morning all


Coppied from another post...to tired to re write it. Let me know if i have boo boo's in it ivillage will not like, will you. too tired to check!



Ok got grant...he was at work friday morning. they were working on a cilender on the back of the truck. well without the trailer they just have a frame to walk on. Well he miss stepped and hit the cemembt floor on his back. He also hit the back of his head. It knocked the air out of him and he had a very hard time getting his air back to call for help. then when he did no one came...butt holes. can be noisy in the shop..but grant was sure people should have hurt him.
So he got up and lookede for the safety guy. his neck hurt. The took him to oxbow(to the quacks we stopped seeing years ago.), and the head dr saw hi...after he laid ion a room for a couple hours...butholes. In the mean time they took exrays. The dr looked at it at 1pm and then sent him home to rest with a soft collar.Monday morning at 8am he went back to the quack and he checked his neck told him to go to work.
Just before dinner the dr called me looking for grant. He asked for his number and called him at work. He wanted grant to put the soft collar back on and get some paperwork done and go that moment to regina for a cat scan. Well he had to come get me...as how do you drive long diistances to the city with a collar?? you can't see to the sides or do shoulder checks. He had my truck..for the first time in a long time.
So grant comes home and i have two suitcases al;most packed....so i called greg and told thomas and we were out the door.I fell down the front steps. I now have hurt my left heal, by back and my pride. Let my bladder loose i fell so hard...so back in to change.
we got on the road after 2 sometime. Then had to stp in oxbow for paperwork.Thanks god we had money in the bank acct(200.00) we had to fill the gas tank and part way there we needed drinks ect. Check went into the bank for payday later that day(auto dep.)


It stormed all the way to Regina.
We fianlly get to the general it is almost 6:30pm. There is a line up. So i stood there till 7 something, on my bad knee(right) bad foot(left) sore back, hip and headache.Grant in his neck brace..in pain. he is worried about me...i want to slap the hospital system. did you know you have to write the plate number and discription of you vehicle down or they ticket or tow?? I know now., i saw a girl go to the book and hear her telling her friend loudly.So still in the lineup ...
on the way ther we said i hope we don't run into my family or his. we are not speaking to either. So who was in the emergentcy hallway?? his cousins daughter the ambulance driver from oxbow. She is on of the biggest mouths. So uncle grant what happened?? cripe! everyone in the southeast and who she talks to otherwise will know.
So anyway we finnaly get seen and wait again in the waiting room till 9pm for the cat scan. took less then 5 minites. Grant never even thought to ask for walletsize pics LOL.
Back to the waiting room till 11 pm.Then he see's a dr. of course we are fed up, in pain, and now we se a foriegn dr with his file. well grasnt has hearing problems...so i think..now i have to translate...poo!. Luckly he did speak english well and loud!
we the dr looked at the film....he was not sure it was clear...so went to talk to the xray tech. We are thinking dr in oxbow called me and said a neck vertebre was cracked...#6. This dr came back and said...your walking. i can't believ you are walking. Grant looked at him funny and said...yes. then he says in pain?? not really...so go goes off to see the tech again. Comes back and says the vertabre jelly disc or the vertabre had squeezed together a bit but it was calciun they we seeing on the film.
So we left about midnight...to look for a room and something to eat. Grant missed supper and i had two small muffins at 11am. The day before i was sick so virtually nothing.
Burger king park was open..horroble burgers!!
We finally got a room at the sherwood house. The otherhotels wanted credit cards...but ours are maxed till payday LOL...earlier that day...but who had time to pay on them. The sherwood was the only place that took cash.we finally got to our room atr 1am. Up at 6 for me ...stupid people and diesel trucks!The fell asleep againThen someone desided at 8am to shovel the snow above us, and preak up the ice. LOL no winning.
The next morning breakfast at albert street humpties. horrible...so we left hungry yet.
went to value village and a look around rona.
Headed home and stopped at estevan at the incometax place and dropped ours off. The girl had it done before we left town...so in 10 days or so whe should have money in our account. Thank god...this will be road ban here by then.
So i hit sally ann and got new clothes there. dresspants...a brown tweed type, jeans, shorts, and clogs lik the to thongs shoes i wear in summer(new) a blue swede..nice, a dog river sweater (bunny hug) for thomas, and a nice(new tags on) ford shirt for grant. He loves ford!
oh in value village i got hot pink croc(yes the name brand), for 4 dollars, new measuring cups and spoons, and a thing to make burgers with...with the plastic disks. i want more disks. You see i can make deer and homemade burgers for bbqing and camping.
So we went to walmart and got thomas new jeans, and groceries. still forgot fruit, fresh veggies, and bread...no list made.
so home her about 7:30 pm.still tired!!Bed by ten. up today at 7am.

Pat


it was quite the trip...never want to do that again.


He will just miss the 4 days pay that he would have had if not for the quack!! sad, but true. We needed those hours in case he gets laid off. they go by the last 2 weeks you worked. They take the days and hours to see what you normally wait.cross your fingers there will be no layoff
