Chapter 28 - Emergencies and winnings

[Toomanywords]

Thanks so much for the positivity HappyToday.
Things do happen in 3's - emergencies have just been too common lately. In case anyone hasn't read my previous threads:
My grandfather on my dad's side went to the hospital a couple months ago for a heart attack. He was in rehab for several months. He came home just before father's day, but went back to the hospital just before 4th of July.
My step-grandmother on my mom's side went to the hospital and had to stay a few days for pneumonia.
My friend had a mental breakdown. She was in the hospital for several days and got out right before the 4th of July.
My dad had a tooth pulled and ended up with an abcess and very bad infection that required surgery. He was in the hospital for almost a week, he got out right before the 4th of July.
BF stepped on 2 nails at work, he went to the ER the night my dad had surgery. Then a couple days later he had heat exhaustion amplified by the pain pills - he was rushed to the ER from work.
Mom had a severe ear infection that landed her in the ER 2 nights in a row.
Then BF had a bad tooth ache and we found he needs a root canal, a wisdom tooth pulled and some cavities filled.
My dog had to go to the vet.
Then last week my mom and her husband were in a severe accident that totalled their new Ford F 250 & new 42 ft camper/trailer. If anyone is in the Erie PA area - you may have seen it on the news. i-79 was closed for a while.
That same day my grandpa on my mom's side went to the hospital. He's been having trouble breathing. He had fluid - not sure in his lungs or where. He wasn't getting enough oxygen to the right side of his heart. They put in a catheter (SP?) and he came home yesterday.

I told everyone - no emergencies for at least a year or so? Even work is sort of joking with me about taking family emergency leave since I had to do it for my dad's surgery (it was unexpected), for BF's heat exhaustion and then for this accident. 3 times in a month.


Yeah Spitty - 3 years. I can't believe it. In exactly 1 month it will have been 3 years. I can't believe what a different person I am, how much everything in my life has changed. I can't believe how much I've grown.
