I totally forgot to tell you another Aunt Happy story. Remember when she discovered the lingerie at Kohl’s? You can read the post here.
Guess what she wore to the hospital. Panties and camisole In black. The nurses all commented on how pretty it was and Happy was in her glory.
She is not going to be allowed to go home for a couple of weeks. Because she lives alone and not in assisted living, she is going to a physical rehab facility until she is strong enough to take care of herself again.
I also just found out that she may be 101 instead of 100. She was adopted as a baby and does not have a birth certificate. 100 years ago things like adoption were not discussed openly and throughout the years the information from her Mother and Dad changed as to her year of birth.
Yesterday was doctor appointments for Jim. The most important one was with the oncologist to get the results of his last cancer scan. However, we got a phone call early in the morning. Dr. Gordon was sick and they had to reschedule our appointment. So now I have to wait and worry until the 18th.
(No, our girls didn’t poop in the hallway. I just thought this was so cute.)
He did get his breathing test done and saw the pulmonologist. He has some decreased lung capacity which is considered normal since he had part of the lung removed. The doctor gave him a breathing exercise and also told him that the best thing he could do is to develop his stamina. So we will be working on that.
Played cribbage last night and I finally won. Been a really really long time since I’ve won so it felt kind of good.
You have to take your victories where you can get them--cribbage!
ReplyDeleteohhh hate that waiting business... why do 'they' do that?! and oh, Aunt Happy and her black lingerie... love it! 100 or 101... man oh man....
ReplyDeleteyay cribbage victory! never played cribbage... but yay!
The waiting is the worst part. Love Aunt Happy, even though I've never met her... what a woman!
ReplyDeleteLove the photo of the pup - the comment is so appropriate to that look. LOL
ReplyDeleteI guess the older I get, the better "wear-unders" I need? I think it's wonderful that a woman can still feel sexy at Aunt Happy's age. I hope I do. :)
Those waiting games are frustrating for sure. Hope all goes well.
ReplyDeleteWhat a character aunt happy is!

ReplyDeleteWhen I grow up, I want to be EXACTLY like Aunt Happy. At least when the kids ask me what the heck am I doing, I will have someone to blame it on.
ReplyDeleteAunt Happy has an attitude and it's the right one. I hope the rehab is a quick one.
ReplyDeleteYou know what our mothers said about wearing clean underwear. It worked for Aunt Happy. :)
ReplyDeleteMichael has been really kicking my butt at cribbage lately, but I did win one game last night. I like Judy's comment! :)
ReplyDeleteYour Aunt Happy is a real riot! Made me chuckle. I'm sorry to hear of Jim's illness. I wish him the very best.
ReplyDeleteOh I remember your post of Aunt Happy's new lingerie very well. Didn't need to click.
ReplyDeleteLove that cartoon! Aunt Happy in black lingerie - she is a great example of what womanhood should be in our older years! Sounds like Jim needs to go to the Gym.
ReplyDeleteHope Aunt Happy and her sexy lingerie come home soon. Congrats on winning the cribbage match. Try not to worry too much about Jim's upcoming appointment ... things have a way of all working out.
ReplyDeleteBlack undies. Hilarious.
ReplyDeleteGood wishes to Jim.
Ugh! Boy we can certainly empathize with you over waiting on doctors. How dare Jim's doctor get sick? You'd think that being a doctor, he'd know every trick in the book to prevent it.
ReplyDeleteOr he could have come down with the "golf course flu"... :c(
Welcome back to the Valley. Hope to see you soon.
ReplyDeleteYou just have to admire someone over 100 who still dresses up for a hospital visit:)
ReplyDeleteSome oldsters wear red hats, others wear black undies!! Aunt Happy is sure an original - love her.
ReplyDeleteSo does increasing his stamina mean he needs to do more fishing? I'm sure his appointment will be good news, but keep us posted. He was so lucky they caught it early.
ReplyDeleteThat man is going to need to spend less time sitting in his boat and doing some exercising. Poor thing....Prayers continue for good reports.
ReplyDeleteWaiting is the worst! It would have to be the most important appt too. Hopefully the news will be very good. :)
ReplyDeleteAunt Happy sounds pretty darned spunky--good for her! So sorry you have to wait until the 18th to see the doctor. That waiting stuff is hard! Love the photo of the pup--what a look!
ReplyDeleteAnd hey, hey! Cribbage Queen--congratulations! Take good care. Will be thinking of the two of you on the 18th.
ReplyDeleteHope all the health stuff goes well. I got a good report from the dentist today, so I am happy. Love the picture! That one is a keeper because the expression is priceless!!
ReplyDeleteHope you are staying cool! The temps are going thru the roof here in AZ.
ReplyDeleteWaiting is tough. I wish the best news for Jim, as everyone does. I'll check back. Think…the longer you wait, the better the celebration. Pats to those two little pups. 101 years old. Holy cow is all I can think of to say! Hope she does well and recuperates quickly. What a lady!
