We weren't going to PA this year and Lynda and Bob weren't coming for a visit, so Larry decided to add a little excitement to Christmas Eve. All afternoon he was at the church for the 3 outside church services. When I was there he mentioned to me he had a pressure in his chest, but thought it was indigestion. He came home at 6 and we had a nice ham dinner. As the evening went on he had a back, neck, and head ache. So with advice of a nurse he talked with we called 911 at 9 o'clock Christmas Eve. Soon flashing red lights were at our door and it wasn't Santa.. Larry's blood pressure was high so they recommended he go to the ER. I took him to the one that is a few miles from our home. After more test they felt they should transport him to South Lake Hospital in Clermont for further testing. Christmas morning they did several test and felt there was some indication that he should have a heart catheterization. Of course it couldn't be scheduled till Monday morning, with it being Christmas and then the weekend. The good thing was I was allowed to spend the days with him, so we celebrated Christmas in the hospital and Saturday and Sunday. At 3:30 Monday afternoon he had the heart catheterization done. They were able to go in through his wrist. Some blockage was noticed but the doctor did not feel it was severe enough for a stent and could be controlled with medicine. Getting the bleeding at his wrist to stop took hours and he was finally released from the hospital at 8:30 Monday night.
Now Bob couldn't let Larry out due him for a bang at the end of the year. So Tuesday afternoon Bob fell on black ice and fractured his tibia in his left leg. So he was at home but in pain.
Bob gave both my sister and me an echo show. Now to get it set up and doing all the amazing things it will do. Not only will Lynda and I talk each night we will also see each other. Lynda gave me a beautiful pair of gold twist earrings.
A cherry candy cane Danish I made for breakfast Tuesday morning.
