Today started out good with a crochet class and the Frederick Yarn Festival. I wasn’t hungry so Matt got a chicken sandwich from a food truck there before the class. Then we came home and I had a chicken sandwich with leftovers from Matt’s Costco chicken dinner last night.
We got pandan doughnuts at a bakery that I think sometimes does the baked goods for the local Filipino restaurant we like. They were based in Rockville, I think, and this is the second store in Frederick. They are amazing and I wish they weren’t an hour away.
Matt ate dinner but I wasn’t hungry yet. He made corn muffins and broccoli and had bought shrimp cocktail at Costco.
I had some later and it was interrupted by the hospital call. Matt had gone to drop off the nonprescription hearing aids, visited and had just left when the doctor called and said he had coded and was revived with basic CPR. They seemed very surprised and we are still waiting for him to be transferred to a hospital that may be able to help him more. Matt was probably just driving away when it happened!
It’s really been a lot, especially if you think he had just been walking his dog and living his normal life early this week! Hopefully they keep him stabilized.
The doctors keep calling my old landline which is fine when I’m here but I don’t know why! Luckily no one called while we were away. Then they called back while I was turning off the sleep setting on my iPhone and somehow it didn’t go through so they called the landline again! Anyway, I’ll take that phone to bed with me tonight.
It’s so nerve wracking but at least we put plans in place after my mom died. My dad didn’t want to handle her health stuff for various reasons and it was tricky since she still had a living spouse. Now we have it all set up that it’s me and then Matt as a back up and I just update my brother. It’s not a job that’s easy or anyone wants but it does make talking to the doctors so much easier.
