FRIDAY NOVEMBER 3

I woke up this morning and felt pretty good. Only my shins and calves hurt. I think that is from the weight. My left eye has started twitching. The doctor said it was stress. I got dressed went to breakfast. Mom asked how I was doing and I said good. She said, I moaned all night and she was worried. I said, I didn’t know I was moaning and was sorry. Conner looked at me and said, does anything hurt? I said, only my calves and I thought that was from the weight. After breakfast Conner went to work and we all went outside because it was a really nice day. Hunter is still giving Conner funny looks. I think she wants Scott back. Everything was going great until about an hour before lunch. Everything started aching. I told Mom I had to go lay down. Cindy took me to my room(Mom’s room) and I went to sleep. The next thing I knew Conner was waking me up. I said, is it time for lunch and he said it was time for dinner. I slept all afternoon. I got ready and we went to the table. After sitting for a few minutes a person from the kitchen came to Conner and said, they were ready. Conner went and whispered to Mom he had a special dinner for me. Conner came and took my wheel chair to the elevator. He said, he had a surprise for me. We went to his room where there was a table with two meals set. He pushed me up to my plate. There was one red rose in a vase and my plate. It had a small steak wrapped in bacon, green beans with a really nice seasoning, cubed sweet potatoes and a large glass of milk. Conner said, I hope your like it. I told the people in the kitchen you were not feeling well when you didn’t come to lunch so they fixed this especially for you. I said, that is so nice of them. It looks really good. I wasn’t hungry even though I missed lunch but decided I better try to eat it. I started with the steak. It was perfect and everything else tasted fabulous. I kept looking at the bed and wondered if he was going to try and have sex with me. I started feeling faint. He saw me looking at the bed and said, Don’t worry I am not going to touch you. I just brought you here to keep and eye on you. I couldn’t forgive myself if something happened to you alone in Mom’s room at night. I had eaten half my plate and said, I have to sit a little. He said, we can talk and get to know each other. I think coming here has helped me get over my wife. Getting out of the house seems to agree with me. I have not worked since my wife died. I have just been at home working on the house and taking care of my kids. I said, how old are your kids? He said, 10 and 12? I said, what are their names? Jack is the oldest and Shawn is the youngest. They are great kids. I couldn’t have asked for better kids. I said, That’s great. He was beaming while he talked about his kids. I asked how his work was going with Carlson and he told me about some of what he was doing. He said, it was making him feel better getting back to work. I told him I didn’t want to talk about Matthew because I might get upset. He was a wonderful husband and I miss him. So we chatted about other things. When I was feeling better I tried to eat more but it was slow. I leaned back in my chair and said, you talk and I will listen. I was thinking, the food is great but I just don’t feel well enough to eat. I kept thinking. There is only one bed. Are we both going to sleep in it? After an hour or more he said, your food must be cold, do you want me to heat it up? I said, no. I just need to sit here. He said, you have not eaten much. When do you see the doctor again? I said, Monday. There was a knock at the door. He went to the door and opened it. Scott was there and saw me sitting at the table. He said to Conner, if you touch her I am going to skin you alive and enjoy every minute of it! Conner just shut the door in Scott’s face. Conner came over to me and said, while you work on your food, I need to take a shower. If you need anything just knock on the door. I said, ok. He went in the bathroom. I started getting dizzy. Thinking there is only one bed and he has gone to take a shower. I rolled to the door. My phone and a blanket was by the door. I put the blanket on my knee’s, took my phone and went to the elevator. Scott was down stairs talking to Paul and saw me. When the elevator opened Scott was there and said, what’s going on. I said, I am sick and going to the hospital. He pushed my wheel chair and Paul held the front door open while we headed to the hospital. Conner came out of his room in a shirt and shorts. He saw Scott pushing my wheel chair. He started down the stairs after us. Scott got to the clinic door and pushed the buzzer. The nurse at the desk opened the door and we went in. Just after the door closed Conner showed up. He knocked on the door while I was talking to the nurse. Through the intercom she said, Can I help you? He said, I am with them. I shook my head no. The nurse said to him, we will take good care of her. Call back in the morning and we will tell you how she is doing. We can only let in one person with the patient. She then said to Scott follow me. He started pushing my wheel chair and with one hand behind his back he was giving Conner the finger. Conner saw Scott through the window and it made him really mad. He went to talk to Mom. The nurse took me to her little room where she weighs, measures, pee test, blood pressure and everything. I told her I was dizzy. She called my doctor and told her everything. The doctor said, to put me in a bed and call the doctor on call. She wanted someone to check the babies. So they put me in bed and a man showed up. Dr. Tilman. He put jell on my stomach and looked at the babies. He said, they had turned upside down. He said, my blood pressure was way too high and he was going to give me something for it. He also wanted me to sleep on my right side. He told Scott I was fine and babies were fine. This happens a lot. We just have to keep her in bed and keep an eye on her for now. Scott said, she hasn’t been eating much. The doctor asked if I could eat something and I said, I think so. Scott told the doctor he would go to the kitchen and get something. The doctor said, good. Just nothing spicy. Scott left and the nurse got me all fixed up in bed. I fell asleep. Later Scott woke me and said, can you eat something. I said. yes. The nurse had hung a bag and I didn’t even know she had been here. Scott brought some pudding and a large glass of milk. It was good. Then I went back to sleep and woke up at 4am with a nurse taking blood. Scott was sleeping on a cote. He help me to the bathroom and then I went back to sleep.
