Hertzler Doings~Sept. 19-25, 2016

Mon.-Drove Susan out to her classes through storms and torrential rain. I met Phil at Starbucks. It is his 60th birthday and Michael's 25th. Did a little shopping and reading. After class, we went to the Immediate Care Clinic and the doctor was surprised that Susan was doing so well and wanted 6 lottery numbers from her. "You're the luckiest person I know," he said, and promised to split the money if he wins. In good conscience, due to the accident's severity, he said we needed to go to ER. ER doctor confirmed that she was good to go and that her bruising and stiffness and pain were to be expected. We were so glad she didn't need more tests. Every day is a constant reminder that she is a walking miracle. The doctors both said that she has a virus and the first one said that she has an ear infection but that it is viral. She is having a hard time swallowing even water.

Tues.-Susan drove herself to school in Appomattox and came home, watched movies, and rested. I am exhausted and am resting with her. Got to talk to Lindsay for awhile. That was nice.
Susan's temp was up to 100. Pharyngitis and ear infection bothering her more than accident aches and pains.  Went to Michael and Jessica's in eve so Michael could help Susan send her homework to professor.

Wed.-Mickey took me to the dentist and I slept well afterwards.

Thurs.-Went to Farmville and ran errands. Susan went to school and to work afterwards.

Fri.-Cleaned house, made chocolate cake with peanut butter icing, sloppy jo, and lemon bars. Phil, Michael, and Freeman went to men's encounter. Jessica, Susan, and Alli had a movie night. She tried to get Nathan to sleep earlier but he just knows something is going to happen and won't settle down. Susan is feeling so much better. We cancelled her doctor apt for today. She can eat and drink now. Dr. T. said that she was experiencing spasms which made it difficult to swallow and breathe. She was going to go see him today and also the doctor but she was almost herself today. I'm so thankful.

Sat.-Had a great day with Alli, Nathan, and Jessica. Went to Lavender Farms and each of us bought a print of beautiful old hands. Went to Chinese for lunch and then to the flea market. I bought book ends of a little boy and girl reading. Also got someone an early Christmas gift since I had her name. Went to Kroger and Walmart and came home, tidied up, and said good bye to Susan as she left for work. Watched a movie, caught up on my blog and reading, called Rosalee-Annika is in labor, and talked with Naomi. Phil's at Encounter. It's nice to have an evening at home alone.

Sun.-Great service. Wonderful to hear the testimonies from Men's Encounter. Susan and I made the cauliflower sweet and sour vegan dish for lunch which we ate around 3 and watched a movie called 'Genius.' Pretty good. Annika had Ariel Joy last evening/
