35 Years and A Weekend to Remember

Monday, Phil and I celebrated our 35th wedding anniversary.  Somedays I find it hard to believe that I am old enough to have been married that long!  But apparently I am!   He bought me a lovely Pandora bracelet.  I dont think I got him anything?  Bad wife!  I guess I really should have bought him something!  Actually I did have a gift in mind, but have not been able to find the right one yet.  When I do I will present it to him!

Friday I got a call from my hubby, he asked if I would like to go away with him for the weekend!  I thought for a moment ...  a really brief moment... then said YES!!!!!

We dropped Brian off with a friend, and headed for the Langdale Ferry.  Checked into a great motel in Davis Bay on the Sunshine Coast.  Watched the sun set from our room. We had dinner at a nice pub in Sechelt.

It was a wonderful weekend of catching up with each other, seeing friends, shopping for Tanya's birthday present and eating lots of really good food.

It was very hard to say goodbye to the coast this morning and head on home.

BAD DEJA VU

Flashback to July 2009!  Rushing to the emergency with Phil

Flashforward to May 2010!  Rushing to the emergency with Phil!

Yes you read that right.  This morning at 5:30 Phil informed me that he thought he should go to emergency.  He had severe pain in his side.  Again, flashback to July 2009!  This time the pain was on the right. 

So off we went!  Thankfully the hospital is a short drive from here.  He was asking me to hurry.  I wondered if I should have called an ambulance. 

Got him into the hospital, where they promptly got an iv started and pumped him full of gravol and morphine.   6 hours..... and a couple of morphine shots later, he had a ct scan. 3 hours later we were informed that he has a 4mm kidney stone and he could go home and pass it,  Once passed we are to take it to a specialist.

Now we are at home, he is well medicated with some sort of pain killer anti inflammatory, asleep in his chair.  And I am exhausted...
