The Progeny
Cinco de Mayo
No, I'm not talking about the Mexican holiday.
It's been five years since Loren's heart transplant and he leaves early tomorrow for the annual check-up. He'll be back on Saturday, sometime.
His "last meal" has to be low in cholesterol, so tonight he'll be having two frozen egg rolls, 10 mg per serving. Come to think of it, might be the remainder of the package he had before LAST year's trip, heh, heh. I say, "Why mess with a good thing?" I'm sure they're still safe....
Blood work is always FIRST THING IN THE MORNING, on the first day, so after that, he can eat fried chicken every night. No, no...of COURSE he won't be doing that. But let's just say I didn't worry about what frozen suppers to buy.
It's going to be an early wake-up call. Around 4 or 4:30, I believe. The good thing is they don't allow breakfast before the blood work, so he'll save some time before he gets so hungry he feels like fainting.
Every day will be a new round of the same old fun stuff....Echo, stress test, kidney function test, etc....then on Friday will be the angiogram. He has to stay within 30 minutes distance for 24 hours after that, which is why he can't come back until Saturday.
Ma will try to keep the home fires burning, maybe do a little cleaning (HA!), keep certain kids from maiming each other, and watch the Craig Ferguson show, provided she can stay awake.
Perhaps I'll even finish a book, and if I happen to remember, cook meals for the kids.
Also, I can now snore with impunity.
I look on it as sort of a vacation.
