He just keeps getting us through this heartbreaking ordeal.

Last night, my hip started throbbing, and it just ached all the way down my leg.  This morning, it is just as bad as it was last night.  Sometimes it just takes my breath away.  So I can't walk at all today.  So I am stuck at home today.  I really wanted to go up with the family to see Carol, but I can't hide the pain and I know that would be hard on the family, especially Carol.  The last thing I want to do is to make her worry.  Plus my digestive track hasn't settled down yet either.

EO has left to go bring Bill up to the Villa to see Carol.  The kids are riding up together to see her today too, plus they have some shopping they need to do as well.  I will be home alone, but I have what I need, so I will be fine.  Especially since I won't be out of bed much at all. 

Leon worked outside yesterday.  He finished the barn, so he put the boat and other stuff in there.  He made some adjustments in the garage so our car and the girl's cars will fit in there.  His next project is the carport for Colton's car.  But tomorrow, he plans to just stay home and rest.

Leon talked to Bill last night and he said that Carol still continues to have trouble breathing.  And now she can't walk without help.  She needed help to get up, but now she needs help to walk.  It just breaks my heart.  Well, all of our hearts, to have to see her suffer so cruelly.  She doesn't deserve it, but she sure handles it like a real lady.  It is sad, because everyday she just gets weaker.  If her breathing becomes anymore labored than it already is, the doc wants her back in the hospital.  And they might put a drain tube in for that fluid that keeps building in the lung sac.  The docs just keep trying so hard to help her. 

Lauren doesn't normally work on Saturday, but my mom called her and asked her to help her for a bit this morning.  As soon as she gets back home they will leave for town.  Maybe around noon.

We picked up a new phone for EO, we just called today to get his number switched from his old phone to the new one.  EO has been wanting a flip phone so he will stop pocket dialing.  Even though we have the lock on it, he doesn't like that either.  And this new trac phone has a camera on it.  I wonder if he will use it.  Well anyways, it is pretty low tech but he doesn't mind, anything high tech and he just can't use it.  Once upon a time these low tech phones were $100, now you can get them for next to nothing.
