Longer and Longer...

I guess with my new busy schedule my posts become spread out ofer time a little more and more... I plan to resume my regular blogging habit soon. In fact I have a nice little laptop that is slightly larger than an EeePC that I will be sporting around with me more and more and I am looking for a portable internet solution... Then, no matter where the blogging bug hits me I'll be able to blog properly from a mobile location. Sure there are iphones and such but nothing quite replaces the feel of a proper querty keyboard when blogging. Not to mention it will become my mobile phone solution through means of voip.

'Nuff bout that... Now an update on my mother...

On Friday after my work shift I caught up on a bit of sleep. I had gotten some sleep, then went to the family doctor who took a look at my workplace injury... "You need to go to emergency and get stitches" My doctor is as blunt as a marble when he tells you how it is... Straight to the point, always and with a smile and a pat on the back... So, after having that done I layed down to rest before work that night... I awoke to the sound of the telephone at 3:38pm, then shortly after I heard my mother come up the stairs in a hurry to bring me the phone. By this time I had already made my way to the washroom so I was unavailable. "It's the school, they want to talk to the mother or father" Hmmmm, ok I thought... "Tell them I'll call them back, I'm in the washroom right now..." There was no response but then I heard her mumble half intelligently to the person on the phone "He's not available, can he call you back..." After that there was pure silence... After finishing up, I walked out into the hallway where I found my mother laying down on the floor with the phone in her right hand... "Mom! What are you doing on the floor?" She answered me without hesitation and with no trouble... " I'm just resting... I got up too quickly and then became weak..." Wow... I was shocked... She got up shortly after that and walked down the stairs...

My wife had been on her way home already so I figured I would just wait until she arrived to make a final decision... When she did arrive and told me that mom had been very sleepy the last day or two I went to ask my mom about it. Well, I found her already laying in bed and in fact already asleep... I woke her and said very bluntly... "Mom, lets go, we are going to TO general to have you checked out...". She certainly didin't seem surprised, and in fact opened her eyes and simply replied "Ok, I figured you were going to say that..."

SO off we went to the emergency...

Friday turned into Saturday then Sunday morning 3am and she was still in the hallway waiting to go upstairs... I will blog about what happened next time but I have to run now so I can't finish the story just yet...

:) Ohhhh the suspense!
