Happy New Year???!!!

The day was going fairly well yesterday. I cooked a pretty big dinner for the boys and myself. We were all stuffed and planning to just hang around the house and digest until bedtime! Not to be!! Around 6pm my Mom called and said Pop was having severe pain in his right lung area and needed to go to the ER. Since neither of them can see well enough to drive after dark, Dan and I headed over there. We got to the ER at St. Francis (Bon Secours) Hospital around 7pm. After 5 1/2 hours, blood tests, lung x-rays and CT scans we got the great news that it was just some inflamation in his lungs (no blood clots - thank God!!!). To the staff at St. Francis I just want to say you are first rate. We were well-treated. The nurses were friendly, kind and caring (my Dad is a real comic and they played along with him which made his day). The doctor was thorough and continuously reassured us that they would find out what was wrong. All of our questions were answered completely and without a hint of annoyance (we can be annoying on occasion, especially where Mom and Pop are concerned!). A toast to the staff at St. Francis! You guys rock!!!!!
