Another week in the books and boy am I glad! So basically Grandpa got out of the hospital for two days and is now back in. He is in ICU and has some internal bleeding...lots of internal bleeding. They don't know if they are going to figure out what is causing it and try to remedy that or... well, I don't know what else. I'm hurt, confused and angry and I don't wanna see him go out like this. He doesn't deserve to suffer so if God decides to take him, I hope he does it quickly. Plus my Uncle spent 5 days on a barge in the middle of the Gulf before FINALLY deciding he should come home Thursday. I'm pretty much spent and here is a wonderful picture of what I would choose to do if only I could!
We did watch some movies this week. We watched "The Strangers: Prey at Night" and I loved it. Mr. Barb did too. I have to say Bailee Madison did an awesome job playing a punk, grunge teenager. We also watched a Nicolas Cage movie called "211." It had horrible reviews but for a movie that went straight to DVD/streaming, it was pretty good. We plan on watching "Tomb Raider" this weekend.
I have been able to read some. In fact, it's pretty much the only way I can keep my mind preoccupied. Several of you have seen some of my comments on one of my current reads "The Wild Inside." Strange doesn't even begin to cover this book. I'm also a few chapters into "Intermission."
Then I'll probably start another review book.
Oh and I forgot - Mr. Barb fell off a porch. He and a neighbor were replacing the back porch steps and the bottom one wasn't nailed yet so he went flying and his head bounced off the fence and his body off the ground. He's okay but me and the pups gave him special care for a few days. So that give you a clue what kind of week I've had - I almost forgot all about it and it was just last Sunday.
So I just want to thank everyone who takes the time to visit my blog and comments when they can. Sometimes I feel like I can't give it enough attention, but the friends I have made and the enjoyment I receive from it always keeps me coming back. You guys rock!
Oh no - your grandpa - I feel for you and send you best wishes and hugs.
ReplyDeleteThank goodness that reading can at least help a little.
All the best.
Lynn :D
Thanks so much Lynn.
DeleteOh no what a week you've had☹ I'm sending good thoughts to your Grandpa, I can't imagine how stressful this is. And Mr. Barb too! Ugh. Take care, Barb.
ReplyDeleteThank you Tammy. Gpa's holding steady so if they can figure out why he is losing blood, maybe they can help him.
DeleteOh Barb I'm so sorry...I hope you get some answers and that whatever happens he doesn't suffer. I hope Mr Barb is ok. What a horrible time you guys are having right now.
ReplyDeleteWe're hoping for the same. Mr. Barb is doing good. Those puppy kisses can heal about anything :)
DeleteSorry to hear about your Grandpa. I hope he won't be in pain anymore regardless of the outcome. My Grandpa will be 93 in July and I know he is in pain everyday just from being old. I keep praying that God makes the pain go away even if it means taking him home with Him. Glad to hear y our hubby is ok. I like the cover of The Intermission. So cute. My hubby won't allow dogs in the bed so I have to make due with naps on the couch with my pups. Have a great weekend.
ReplyDeleteThere's no way our dogs would ever stay out of the bed. However, they both like their beds so at most, they usually visit. Thanks for the kind thoughts. Gpa is not usually very ill and it really has hit him later in life so it's hard to see him not-active.
DeleteI am sorry to hear about your troubles.

Thanks Sherry.
DeleteOh, Barb! What a tough week, I'm so sorry!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much Angela.
DeleteI find reading to be a way to shut off my worries sometimes too. I'm sending prayers your way:)
ReplyDeleteMe too. My mind tends to race all the time so when I'm reading, I'm making it focus which does seem to help when I'm worried.
DeleteSounds like a rough week, Barb, so sorry! My thoughts are with your grandpa, I hope they find out what's wrong!

Things are definitely on the upswing now. Thanks so much.
DeleteOh no, Grandpa. I hope that they figure out what is going on and get him feeling better very quickly. I am sorry that Mr. Barb was hurt but glad it sounds like he is doing better. I can't wait for your review of The Wild Inside since I love weird books :) Hang in there!
ReplyDeleteWell, by now you've seen my review and have seen how weird it actually was!
DeleteI'm so sorry to hear all of this Barb! I'm hoping they can figure out what is causing the bleeding for your Grandpa. Hugs to you and hubs and the boys.
ReplyDeleteThey have and thankfully he is on the mend now.
DeleteOh no, Barb! I hope for good news for your Grandpa, and I'm glad Mr Barb is on the mend. I totally understand the picture now!
ReplyDeleteYep, just wanted to hide under the covers for awhile but couldn't because life wouldn't stop :)
DeleteI'm so sorry about your grandfather. It is the most difficult thing to watch a family member in pain. I hope they can at least figure out how to make him comfortable. (((((HUGS))))) I'm sending all good energies your way.
ReplyDeleteThanks La La. He is doing better now thank Heavens.
