Hurray for Holidays!

I am getting so excited for Thanksgiving & Christmas! Crazy to think its been a year since last years! lol. Ty and I has an exciting weekend last week. It was full of adrenaline. haha. We had a wonderful tastey dinner with Jess and Josh. They got back from their honeymoon wed. so Friday night we got together. We had dinner, went out for ice cream and then watched movies and chatted. Josh and Ty together are like little boys! lol They were so off the wall. They each had like 5 sodas. So that was part of it. lol But Jess and I always enjoy just chatting and all. So it was good. Looked at pics of their honeymoon and all. We started the second movie at like 1 am. So we decided to just spend the night. Meanwhile, before the movie Ty and Josh had been playing with the dogs. I went into bed just before 3 and Ty came after the movie was over. So about 5:30 Ty wakes me up, searching for his contact. He was really concerned. So I got up, turned the light on and OH MY GOSH. Ty's eye was HUGE. Swollen, Pussy, Red, and Sick looking. The pupil of his eye was indented! The white of his eye was SO SWOLLEN. So He thought maybe his contact had gotten stuck in his eye lid and all. But he was kinda in shock. SO I tried calling Mom and tried, finally we drove over there. She told us to go to ER. SO off we went to the New Riverton Hospital. It was a very nice facility! We walked in and walked out! But ends up his contact wasnt in his eye, BUT his eye was infected and scratched. It had a bacterial infection. PLUS the doctor numbed it so he could examine it, and used a swab to feel ALL over his eye. It was so sick. Makes my stomache turn just thinking about it. So it was MORE red from that. So it was about 7:45 am and I dropped Ty off and home and went to get his perscription and some benedryl. I go to Peterson's Market, and wala the pharmacy is closed till 9am. So I got benedryl and then was going to leave and without a second thought I went and got a Apple Fritter Donut. YUMM! Not even thinkin about Ty and home. So I get out to the truck, (Oh yeah, since we had woken up it was a BLIZZARD, and I only had slippers on). I climb in and turn it on to warm up. I get out the donut and take a bite and suddenly SO many emotions came all at once. Yet I was happy. As soon as I took that bite I thought : *Today makes it 2 years since Dad passed away, at almost the EXACT time 2 years before, Brian and I were there buying donuts cause we had all just gotten back from being at the hospital with Dad till he passed. Dad's favorite donut was Apple Fritter, I was his morning buddy, every saturday he would come in singing "Good morning marry sunshine, how are you today" (even when I was 18). and we would go to Petersons and get some stuff for breakfast, and I would beg to get a donut and we would get an Apple Fritter, BUT we had to share it. Never got a whole one to myself. * So all those thoughts in a matter of seconds as I chew that first bite. Then I find myself BAWLING in the car. People walking by. I finally got myself to come to it, and I decided to head up to wal-mart to get the perscription filled. (Riverton is still kinda small town, everyone knows our family , My dad grew up with the owner of the store and I didnt want to have to run into anyone else who might say something and make me start crying again) So off to wal-mart I went. LONGER story short. They were closed till 9. then when they finally opend the window, the perscription ended up being $119.00!!! So I didnt get it, and went to check out bank account, we would only have like $20 left AND we had bills due. So my mom gave us the $ (I tried to refuse it) and off I went. I took Ty and Benedryl and then showered ( I looked like Hell froze over). Then we went to get it, and we did. Then we got home and I went to put them in and Ty shouts "DONT". Well he was reading (with his one eye) the paper that they give you. ALL over it, it says "Do not use in eyes" "If contact with eyes seek medical attention". LOL So I call. I Couldnt get anyone at the pharmacy so I called the doctor at ER and he got ahold of the pharmacy and found they gave us the wrong one! SO we had to go BACK. Meanwhile its a BLIZZARD all morning and I was so ready to stay home in the warm house. But when we got the RIGHT one, it ended up being $12.00 !!! haha. So mom got her $ back and it did't BREAK the bank for Ty to not go blind in one eye.
So it started out crazy and sleepless, but it was a good day. We got a little christmas/wind thing to put at Dad's gave. Finally convinced mom to go with us to visit the grave, and then we stayed home all evening and got things oranized AND put up the christmas tree!! Ty decorated it and all. :) We got out the other stuff, but I refuse to put those up till after thanksgiving. lol
So far this week has been ok, I get my stitches out sometime soon, and I found out the spot on my arm is not cancerous. BUT it if I get more we need to get them tested cause it could be early signs. Tonight is relief society, and Ty gets a full 40 hr work week! So were doing good! Hope you all are doing good too!
