Can anything else go wrong???????
So this was the week from hell!!!!
Monday-
Pat and I went to strip a deck.
WARNING:STRIPPER MAKES DECKS VERY SLIPPERY!!!!!!!!!!!!
So as I was powerwashing the stripper off the steps and I slipped and I landed on my back! Holy crap did that hurt!!! It knocked the wind out of me and I felt like I was going to throw up so I thought it was best to call it a day.
That night Dennis said he was going to a friend's house (who I hate) and he would be back soon. Three hours later he wasn't home. He left his phone here so I called over there and he said he was going to hang out here. Mind you he always, I mean always calls if he's going to be late. So of course I turned into a female, I had these crazy thoughts that he was going to break up with me. My boyfriend in NY pulled a fast one on me one night and he "wanted some space" afterwards then we broke up so you can imagine what I was going through. So I called a friend and we went to the bar. So now I am drunk stupid female. Great combination!!!! So he called when i was there and said to call when I got home. I did and he came home. He knew I was pissed the second he walked in the door, which by the way is not easy to do, I'm kind of hard to read. So we talked and I explained the situation with my old boyfriend so he would understand why I was mad. He said he was sorry and he didn't realize that he said he would be right back. So I guess we're all good. But I really proud of myself for talking about it instead of holding it in like I usually do. So that was Monday.
Tuesday-
After taking a zillion Aleve I was in pain!!!! The bruise on my back it tooo gross to post a picture!!!
Wednesday-
Work was ok, my back was getting better. As I was making a fancy dinner of mac and cheese and hamburgers my brother called and asked where I was and I said home and he said stay there I'm going to get you and I asked why and he said dad was just brought to Maine Med for chest pains.
All the emotions from his stroke 3 years ago came back and I lost it, I mean lost it. Those of you who know me well know this only happens once a year. But Dennis was there for me, it's the first time he's seen me cry. I'm so sick of this happening, I feel like this is never going to end, I just want my dad to get better.
So Pat and Megan picked me up and we went to Maine Med, I swear it only took 2 minutes. We get there and wait, and wait and wait some more. The occasional doctor would pop in giving us the result of the tests, everything seemed normal, great! so why the F*CK is he in pain. During all this Dennis was calling and texting a zillion times but of course you can't use cell phones in the ER, but it was nice to know he was there, he wanted to come but I told him no cause we would be here all night.
So finally he got a room in the cardiac wing and I had to tell/yell at teh nurses to be careful of his left side cause of the stroke, even though it's in his charts you need to yell at these people, don't get me wrong, nurses are pretty much the hardest working people in this corrupt world of ours but you have to put your foot down sometimes! So I got home around midnight.
Thursday-
Today dad was supposed to have and angiogram ( I spelled that wrong) it's the test where they put a camera in your heart. But they kept rescheduling it, of course they did it when I wasn't there to yell at them. So I stayed most of the day.
Friday-
It was over 90 degrees today. Dad had the test done and they found a artery that was 70 -80% clogged!!! This may seem like bad news but it's actually good!! He had had chest pains ever since I can remember and nobody could find anything wrong. So on Tuesday he's having surgery to have a stent put it, it's this balloon thingy that opens up the artery. Oh, my mom was on CT until now.
After I got home i decided to go to the beach and chill out!!!
Saturday-
I needed a break so we went up to Dennis's parent's house. I was so nice and relaxing. We chilled out in the yard. Nakeeda(we changed the spelling of her name one night when we were wasted) was an angel!
Sunday-
We went fishing, I learned how to fly fish. Then Dennis fell off a rock onto a beer bottle and we had to go to the ER and he got 4 stitches!!!
That night we came home.
Monday-
Today I went to see dad and he's up on the intensive cardiac floor getting ready for tomorrow. This room had a cool touch screen tv and you can go online too, pretty cool.
The rest of the day I am going to sit on the deck and do nothing!!!
So that was my week. Man! Life comes at you fast sometimes!!!!!!!!!

Sun!
The weather this weekend rocked!!! Friday night we went to Ev's for a few and I think i was in bed by midnight. Saturday I did stupid crap in the morning then hung out in the sun all afternoon, I got a $5 grill and we cooked up some burgers.Sunday Dennis' parents took us out to lunch at Bailey's, yummy! I haven't had seafood in a while. Then we went to my parents house to give my mom her present. Then we took the pup to Great Pond and now she's sick, it might have something to with the fact that she ate a whole tennis ball. Oh! Dennis finished college this week!
Dennis loves when I take pictures of him!
The sky was blue!
The garden that I found when we did yard work.

Nice Weekend
This was a pretty good weekend. Friday night we went to bed a 11, yep, I'm wild. Saturday I took pictures at the Food Festival at SMCC, my mom made me, good food though. Saturday night we stayed up pretty late doing a whole lot of nothing. Today we walked Nikita at the Fort, she's finally doing well on the leash. Then we did yard work, it felt so nice to be out in the sun.
