After going out for breakfast and running some errands, we returned home to finish up some things. It was a busy weekend, so Josie was ready for a nap. While she napped I went out for a drive. I drove some back roads that I haven't been on in a long time and found some new sights to capture.
It may sound a bit odd, but I enjoy walking through and visiting the old grave sites. A remarkable image and I wonder how small the canopy was when the first was laid to rest there.
@lauriehiggins@luvmynynix@milaniet Thank you all for asking. Josie is doing really well compared to how she was feeling last week at this time. All tests came back normal. She is still having a little trouble with her vision, so with that concern her doctor is looking at a consult with a neurologist and possibly an MRA so they can get a good look at the vessels to make sure they are not missing anything. She went back to work on Wednesday. Probably the worst part of the whole ordeal was the visit to the ER. The efficiency of the care, the quality of the equipment, and what I see as a major error in the administration of the one IV Narcotic actually added additional problems to the initial reason for the visit. I am in the process of addressing that with powers to be. Most narcotics when administered via IV must be given slowly over a minute or more. After verifying this with one of the pharmacists where I work, I confirmed my suspicions as to why she reacted the way she did. She received a 1mg dose of Dilaudid, a powerful narcotic analgesic. From what I have been told, it should have been administered over a period of 2 - 3 minutes, a slow push. The nurse administered it within approxiamtely 10 - 15 seconds, causing an immediate reaction. Within a half hour we were closely monitoring her vitals (when the equipment functioned properly) because her respirations dropped down to about 5 a minute, and she suffered immediate nausea, and lightheadedness. The report they sent to her doctor was significantly lacking of all the details which triggered our visit to the ER in the first place. Not a happy camper right now with our local ER. When I accompanied Josie to her phsyician I provided her with all the details leading up to the ER visit, and she looked at me in surprise, then showed me the report she received. It had none of that on it.
Love this shot - gorgeous and a fav for me. So sorry to hear about your ER experience. My family has dealt with quite a bit of problems with doctors and hospitals so I can relate Rick. Hope you and Josie can get some answers since medical issues can be very emotionally draining.
You are the master of the lone tree shots, Rick.
