Wed., 6/3/26, Took Bill to ER to see if he could get some pain relief, went to VA afterwards, went to Chick-fil-A, I worked on area under maple tree

Bill in the ER.  He couldn’t even smile he was in so much pain.  They gave him an IV with a steroid and then gave him stronger pain medicine.  He had been taking Tylenol.  

Only have the little area behind the tree to go.  Pulled weeds and picked up lots of sticks.  Tomorrow I should have it ready and be able to plant ground cover that I will transplant from my other ground cover under another tree.  I have to transplant the plants under this tree somewhere else.  I should have taken a before picture.

The cart is full of sticks and the yard waste container is almost full of weeds, and leaves.

Got up at 8.  Bill was already up and reading his Bible.  I made us both a bowl of Cheerios and granola for breakfast and made coffee.  Then Bill asked me what I was doing today.  I told him just yard work and working on my Bible Study.  He said he wanted to go to ER at Covenant.  I told him of course I would take him.  He took his shower and got ready and I got ready, then we left.  I parked the car and when I got in he was already registered and waiting to get his blood pressure, and vitals done.  I went in with him when he went in.  Then they took us back and put him in a room right away.  It was roomy and nice, not crammed like the room was when I took Sue.  I took my book on the Holy Spirit with me, so I read some of it there.  Everyone was super nice and the emergency doctor was nice and very knowledgeable.  I put Bill on our prayer list at church to get people praying.  Pastor Gabe called me right away after he saw it to see if we wanted him to come up and pray with us.  I told him he could just pray where he was at because we didn’t know when they were taking him for the X-Ray.  He was super nice and so caring.  We are blessed with our church family.  So many are praying for Bill and me.  Bill had and EKG, X-Rays, blood tests and got and IV.  Finally after 3 hours, they put him on stronger medication and sent us home.  We went to the VA to pick up the prescription the ER doctor called in.  I parked the car and then went in to find Bill and I didn’t see him.  I called to see where he was, and he told me he was in the Patriot Store buying us candy bars.  We were both hungry.  That was so sweet of him.  We ate them and they held us over until we went to eat.  

Debbie, Bill’s sister, texted me back when I let her know about Bill and said she fell and broke her arm and sees a surgeon tomorrow.  She was in lots of pain too.  We prayed for her as soon as we found out.

We went to Chick Fil A and both got chicken wraps.  Bill got chicken noodle soup and a shake too.  We saw the owner, Jon, who goes to our church there.  I ate half my sandwich there, then we stopped at Panera and I got a free drink there to drink with the other half when I got home.  

 

We took a short nap, then I read my Bible, Bill read our prayer/devotion and worked on my Bible Study Lesson.  It is so good.  I went outside afterwards and watered the front flowers, the sod, and the garden.  That sprayed my flower garden too.  I raked up all the sticks under our big Maple tree and then used the 3 prong tool to loosen the soil and get the weeds out.  It worked great.  I got it at a garage sale for $3.  Jared used it here the other day and the end broke, but he secured it good and it’s better than it was before.  I don’t think it will break on me now.  Thanks Jared!

I might be able to finish the little bit left tomorrow and get the ground cover planted.  It’s going to look so much better.
