What an Interesting Weekend...not!

I did 5 round trips to Cooperstown this weekend starting Thursday night.
Thursday after supper Jeff & I went to Lowe's coz he needed a hole saw. He was changing the kitchen door's lock & knob and the new one wouldn't fit in the old holes. After we got that he told me he was having a problem and we probably should call his MD. So we did...after we went home and put all the tools away, went to Urgent Care...which was closed, and he stopped for a ciggie. Anyway, he finally talked to the MD and she told him to go to the ER. Good thing I'm use to driving to Cooperstown. I just put the car in cruise and steered to the hospital. They were quick about hooking him up to monitors & taking blood but then we waited for 3 or so hours until we saw a MD. There was blood in his stool and his blood count was a little low. They admitted him...but there weren't any rooms available so they moved a bed into one of the ER cubicles and that's where he stayed the night and I drove home around 1:30am. The next day his sister and I went down together and got there in time to hear the MD tell him they were going to do another colonoscopy...but it wouldn't show anything, maybe another endoscopy...but that wouldn't show anything either, and possibly more barium x-rays...but they woudn't show anything either. They finally got him a room about 4pm on Friday and they did the colonoscopy Friday night. Of course, it didn't show anything, so they did another one on Saturday morning. (He drank 2-64oz bottles of pineapple flavored elixer in 12 hrs. If he wasn't bleeding before then, he sure was afterwards! And the smell...pineapple baby shit blood.) Still no source of the bleeding. Now they had to do a transfusion coz his blood count was so low. Once they unhooked the IV's, Jeff wanted a cigerette. He had gone from Thurs evening to Sunday afternoon w/o 1 and he just wanted 1. He got into a discussion with a nurse and eventually went outside for his smoke (MIBH is a 'smoke free campus' where you find piles of butts on the street corners), scoring some brownie points with other staff members while arguing his viewpoint. His sister and I left him at the hospital Sunday thinking there'd be a nuclear tracer test on Monday and then maybe he could come home. But the bleeding stopped just as suddenly as it started. I got a phone call at work yesterday to come an get him and when I got to the hospital he was standing outside waiting for me. So far no more bleeding and the tracer test can't be done unless it starts again. He's got to see his regular doctor this week and he's going to ask about side effects of long-term use of some of his meds. In the meantime he should take things easy. He did take a nap yesterday afternoon but I found him stirring up the compost before supper and trimming the apple and lilac trees in the backyard about 8:30 last night. And he had finished putting in the new door knob before supper,too. That's taking it easy?

I want to post some new garden photos I took Monday morning but don't have enough time right now. You can't tell but the tomatoes are starting to ripen and we've got a load of bell peppers! Oh, a hummingbird has found our feeder, too!
