So went to a party this weekend and got 20 dollars stolen our of my wallet after what seemed like a great night. I was FURIOUS! Never caught the theif of course. It made me so mad. I would rather have blown the 20 on something then have it in the hands of a theif. Well, leaving that in the past, on the way home we made a stop to grab my car from my mom (lent it to her so we could take the suburban to fit more party-goers in one vehicle...) and as we turn onto their street, Mom and Dad are pulling away from the house. We roll down the windows and my Dad says, "We are going to the hosiptal, Grandpa had a stroke or something." So panick mode sets in but I am in pajamas and smoky from the night at the party. Not to mention exhausted after getting only a few hours sleep on an air matress. I rush home to shower and change, stop shortly to call into work and somehow through the tears manage to relay the message to my manager, who is more than amazing in his quick response of, "I'm sorry to hear that. Go do what you need to do and be with your family. I'll take you off the schedule for today." THANKS JT! Anyway, I get to the ER and my nurse mother and my Grandma are in the room with him. No one is sure what happened yet, but I am sobbing my eyes out. My Aunt Renee, Dad and 2 of my brothers are there. Dad trys to comfort me telling me Grandpa is ok, and he is coherent. But it wasn't so much that I was upset that he was non-coherent by that point. They had reassured me that he was ok for now, it was the terror of what may happen in the future that kept me crying my eyes out. My Dad has been spending the last 10 years or so telling us to spend as much time as possible with our grandparents, admonishing that we don't know how long we have left with them. Well, Grandma comes out and tells us the verdict. Grandpa passed out in church, the doctor's said he was dehydrated and anemic. This is on top of 2 other passing out sessions he has had starting in September of this year. He has an appointment scheduled with one of the best cardiologists in Houston coming up soon. Hopefully we can figure this out. The first pass out session was in St. Louis and coupled with through-the-roof high blood pressure, and the doctor was concerned he may have a series of small strokes. So needless to say, we are all on guard until we get this thing figured out. Please everyone keep him in your thoughts and prayers.
Update on mom - seems she just had some inflamation, and she seems to being doing ok now. Thanks for keeping her in your minds too! Love you guys!!!
So here we go again, another Monday. Someone tell me why it has to be dreary and rainy out? I wanna curl up on the couch and watch a scary movie. Halloween is fast approaching and I still have no costume....BAH! Worse comes to worse maybe I can pull out something horrendous from my closet and pull an Ugly Betty. Who knows. Turned in my 2 weeks notice at Guadalajara, much to my managers dismay. Started selling Mary Kay. I am pretty excited about that! That's what is new in the life of Heather right now. I am really excited about the doors Mary Kay will open, not to mention the extra money in my pocket! I have to give a lot of love out to Sherry Lonsbury, the woman who never gave up on me! She worked on me a year before I finally decided to see what she was so exicted about. THANK YOU SHERRY! And thank you Enterprise for letting me meet Sherry! Even out of the bad, good comes! That's going to be my motto for this time period in my life. As things naturally come together, I can just keep at it and work hard. The results will be my rewards. =) Thanks for checking up on me and my life at the moment! <3
