Sunday Stitches

Well this day didn't turn out exactly as expected. My grandson Nathan is on a traveling baseball team. Jim and I decided to go watch him today. Since Lisa, my daughter, and I were both sick all last week and have been very busy we were looking forward to not only watching Nathan play ball but chatting.
My other grandchildren were playing on the basketball court right behind our seats. It was only into the first two innings of the game when Ryan, my oldest grandson, came to us grabbing his knee. He had fell down and landed directly on his knee. We grabbed the only band aids we had and tried to mend it but it kept bleeding out and looked pretty bad.
So Jim stayed to help with the grand kids while Eddie helped coach Nathan's team and I drove Lisa and Ryan to the ER.

After about 90 minutes of sitting in the waiting room and watching people walk in and out of the ER with various injuries and tales of woe Lisa and Ryan came out with Ryan's leg wrapped in an ace bandage around the knee and he was hobbling along without bending it.
He had three stitches and was told to keep it wrapped up for 10 days and not to bend it! That if he bends it it may split open again and if it does they cannot restitch it! He will get the stitches out in 10 days and then he still needs to wrap it for 2-3 days after to keep it from splitting open!

Ryan is 12 years old. He was disappointed because he has started as a referee on his sister Sarah's soccer team and was thoroughly enjoying it. He'll have to miss a couple of games. But he's a great guy and he likes to draw, watch shows, play video games, computer whiz and play board games.
One good thing is that Lisa home schools and Ryan can continue his school work and not have to struggle with walking around.

So it was a strange day but I'm thankful that there wasn't anything more serious and that I was there to help out. This was the first game that I was able to make it to during this traveling team! Nathan being the sweet 9 year old kid that he is called his brother while at the hospital to see if he was alright.

All in the life of busy grandchildren!

It's October

I have to say that I think October is my least favorite month of the year. Why? Well, every single year at this time I get sick! First of all living in southern California is suppose to be so wonderful, however, it is entirely tooooo dry here! We need rain so badly! This time of year we get what they call santa anas........warm, hot, dry, dusty, windy....... all adds up to fire danger. It all also seems to aggravate our sinuses so badly that everyone gets sore throats, swollen glands, headaches. We're all just a bunch of sick grouches! Guess that's fitting for our Halloween costumes!

Do you blog like you talk?

So this is the next question given to me.

Ahh, I think I blog like I talk. I know that I make mistakes on the blog just like I do when I talk! lol! I'm not ever trying to be something that I'm not and most of the time I'm just trying to figure out what to say which has been a problem of mine all my life!

So if anyone reading this wants to join in..........do you blog like you talk?
