The big news in the blog is that Lori was moving quickly through the parking lot at Ross's in Durham and slipped in something "squishy" and fell. Hurt her wrist, but she continued shopping - 'tis the season!
She gets home and is thinking about putting ice on her wrist, because it does hurt, so she calls Carolyn (Dr. Hardin) who tells her to get to the Orthopaedic now. An hour later, Lori has a splint on her FRACTURED left wrist. She will see her doctor who will decide if she needs surgery or a lovely cast.
She says she is fine and sounded upbeat and happy when Mom and I talked to her yesterday.
Mom's cardiac stress test went fine. And her blood work came back good, so her lay around can't walk 20 feet diva-itis may not be medical. It could be just......her! Who knew?
I got up this morning and was at the Naval Academy by 7am to help unpack the wreaths for the cemetery. There were 10 of us and 2000 wreaths, but it went fast and most of us are returnees (my second year out of 3) so we know the drill.
I wore work gloves, fleece, a second fleece vest and a Land's End vest - well dressed for what was supposed to be 40ish. Well, it was really 36 with a very stiff breeze. It was nippy. I have a dui checkpoint in PG tonight - so I will dress warmer. Lots of fresh outdoor time today.
By the time 10am rolled around, there were so many people there to put the wreaths out - loads of mids, school kids came on a bus, officers, people from town - it was glorious and a testament to Carol and Bob Turman who arranged for this to happen. I put wreaths out for Scott and Dad and left before the ceremony. Got home before Mom woke up - she didn't even know I had left the house. That is a win-win.
I'd like to take a nap, but I have to make brownies and cookies for tonight. Nap later.
Go Navy!
