Alma 8:18-9:6
For CFM we discussed the questions in Scripture Helps.
Judges 15 - "hips and thighs" means complete devastation.
I started listening to the book, "A Proper Facade" by Esther Hatch.
I drove to Pierce's for what I thought was an appointment to have my veneer put on. When I got there Pierce came up to my car and apologized for double booking. He had a previous appointment with Nadine Singleton at this time and could I come back at 2. Of course.
I went home to pick up James because we are going to town and now I will look like a snaggle tooth.
Kat and Larry came and James got them started before we left for town. Our first stop in town was at Chase bank to get some cash to pay Kat and Larry. At Walmart I picked up my Folic Acid prescription. Dr. Brady has still not approved the refill on my Levothyroxin prescription and I will be out on Monday. He probably wants me to have my bloodwork done first. I am planning on doing that on Monday.
We bought a few groceries and then stopped for lunch at Culver's. We ordered 10 shrimp. I had 6 and James had 4, along with his cod fillet sandwich. While sitting in Culver's we made plans for our anniversary on Monday. First I am going to get my bloodwork done, then we are going to the carwash and clean the inside and outside of the car. Buy and plant flowers, and possibly fix the tire at Discount as it keeps losing air.
This evening I saw James working in the backyard. He took a nap when we got home and when he got up he complained of having trouble breathing and said he thought he was getting asthma. He felt good enough to work outside. I went in to work on my blog when James called me on his phone. When he answered he said in a low voice, "Can you help me?" I ran and opened the front door and saw him laying in the cinders in a rather contorted position below the tallest ladder in the world. I went to see what I could do and there was a pool of blood under his head. I went and got him a pillow. He couldn't move so I was going to call 911. James said no. I called Chuck but no answer so I left a message. I called Kathy and she sent Easton over to help me get James up and into the car. Kathy also came over on her ATV.
Easton and I managed to get James into the car to take him to the E.R. Easton came with us, sitting in the back seat. I gave him a couple of Tramadol to help with pain. I called ahead to Summit Healthcare E.R. to tell them his condition and that we were on our way. Two people were there to help him out of the car and into the hospital. Becky was his ER nurse. My phone was almost dead and she loaned me her charger. I immediately liked her. She was also very strict in a good way.
Bishop Crane and Susan were waiting for us at the hospital when we arrived. Bishop came back and gave James a blessing. Susan came with him. Bishops voice is so quiet I couldn't really hear what he said but I was confident it was a good one and it still brought me peace.
The ER doctor came in and said James had 8 broken ribs on his left side, numbers 4-11. Ribs are not surgically treated. The doctor said he also had a punctured lung and a fractured pelvis. He said James would definitely have to be admitted to the hospital and if he found anything else he would have to be transported to a trauma center in the valley.
Soon the doctor was back and said James had a broken tibia and fibia in his right leg and they would be transporting him to a trauma hospital in the valley. I asked for Chandler and they said if it wasn't full that would be their first choice.
Chandler is available so that's where in went, in a helicopter. Sheri and Kim met him at the hospital in Chandler. Stacy and Paul came up to drive back with me. They arrived around 2 p.m. Stacy wanted to do a turn around but Paul and I wanted to get a little sleep. Paul would like to leave around 7 a.m.
