Grrrrrrr

Wesley Chapel, Florida

We’re still watching and waiting for TS Debby to get moving and decide where she wants to go.

The track now appears to be taking her into Florida.   We’re hoping it will track far north of us.

It was windy yesterday, but rain was minimal.  It’s a good thing because some areas have gotten 15 inches of rain and are flooded.

Yesterday, we went to the grocery store and intended to go home and watch the next episode of   “24.”    

It didn’t quite work out that way.

While we were eating lunch, we got a phone call from Mom saying she had gotten a call from the EMS.  My brother had a seizure at Sam's Club and they were transporting him to the hospital.

We rushed to the hospital, not knowing what was happening.  Mom was very upset.

They ran some tests and then released him, after determining he wasn’t critical.  He was told to follow up with a doctor today.

So……now he isn’t supposed to drive. 

Today I have my appointment for the  laser eye surgery for my left eye.   After that, we’re hoping to get Steve in to see a doctor.

Another fun day in paradise.

  5. I too hope the weather doesn't give you problems in this a time of family stress. I hope you brother is OK. We seem to do alright with our parents having medical problems, but when it is a sibling it sometimes is more disconcerting.

  7. I've also been watching the weather out your way and hoping that Debby goes way north. I wish she would just disappear but it doesn't look like she wants to go away. Hope everything works out for your brother. Life gets to be very stressful at times.

  10. Hoping your brother is okay and that the storm passes you by.
    Having lived in Georgia all my life, I am very familiar with tornadoes in the spring and early summer. Since full-timing, we just head to the nearest concrete bath house if necessary. Luckily (knock on wood!) we've only had to do that twice in 5 years....and nothing serious came of it. Hurricanes you can outrun....not Tornadoes!
    Stay safe!

  11. Gosh...life is getting complicated. Hope your brother is ok and they can figure out something for him so it doesn't happen again. Hope your eye surgery goes well...Hope Debby passes you by! Lake City and other areas in the panhandle got over 28 inches of rain!

  13. Do so hope you are doing OK. Doctors and floods and rain, all so incredibly worrisome. Hope all turns out ok and that things dry out and your brother is good and your mom can quit worrying. Saw some scary flood photos on the news this am and thought of you again.

  15. Hey Karen, Sure hope your brother is Ok. Hope your mother doesn't worry or get upset and make herself sick. Glad you weathered the storm. Just read about the comments by anomous. It appears he rode out the storm on the good side. The damage and winds are not equal all the way around the hurricane . We actually were on the worst side of the storm. But really liked your answer. Aren't you glad we're not still at USAA taking loss reports! Haha
