it has been a long time since i wrote in here and i dont even really know where to start at. i guess the beginning would be best.
so things have been interesting in our house. we have been very busy and i think that the days of layzing around the house doing nothing are going to be few and far between. every morning at around 8 either just my wife or all of us, me and her and the 2 boys, get going to go feed our new family member, Pi. he is a lovely horse and generally a good boy. we feed him and my wife trains him and we all love on him. he is a great addition to our family.
we have also been filling out days off together with fishing and setting camera traps for my wife’s research project for school. the kids love the fishing and me and my wife love that we are all out together.
We have also been doing a little geocaching as well. we were intorduced to this hobby by my wife’s cousin J last year at the cousins weekend camping trip. i emmediatly fell in love with it. after we got back from the camping trip we tried to do it with the GPS on my phone, but those are only good up to 30 feet. we tried and found a few, but we both knew that if we were going to continue this hobbie then we will need a good GPS. so thats what i got for christmas from S and i have been loving it ever since. I even started making our own family calling cards/ trackables to leave with the caches that we find. hopefuly someone will take it and email us letting us know were they found it and where they put it next. im very excyted to see if this will work. me and the boys have been going out while S rides Pi, seeing only one person can ride him at a time. lol. we have found most of the ones that we set out to look for, but some we havent been able to find. oh well. it is not the items inside that matter, but the find itself. i love this hobbie.
on a more somber note, and more recent one, my grandpa we rushed to the hospital late the other night with sever chest pains. he has had 2 heart attacks and has a stent put in. every time his chest hurts we all get very worried. while over there i got to see first hand the incompetince of our local hospital. when he got there he got an EKG and chest x-ray and a CBC done. the CBC came back normal and the chest x-ray was normal as well. the only thing that worried the dr., and me as well, was the inverted T waves in the V1 and V4 section of the EKG. these can signal some bad heart problems. they wanted to send him to SLC to get checked out. i urged him to go, so the sent him down there on a fixed wing ( air plane). my grandmother insisted on being down there with him last night and i, not thinking about it, offered to drive her down the SLC which is about 3 hours away from us, and then drive back because i had to work the next night. we had the plan all worked out so i called S to tell her what was going on and what i was going to do. She didnt like the idea and asked me not to go. that turned out to be the better idea seeing i had already been up for a while now and would be driving back with someone that would more then likely be sleeping when they should be talking with me helping me stay awake.
to be honest we did fight about it for a few min and she wasnt happy with me asking to go. but in the end she was right to not want me to go. it wouldnt have been safe. i dont like fighting with her and making her feel bad about anything.
so we have been getting updates about him and the Dr.s down in SLC looked his heart over and everything and the pain that he is feeling isnt coming form his heart. they asked about the inverted waves, because i told them to ask about it, and the heart specilist said you can get that when you put some of the leads on in the wrong order! WTF!!!! so now they flew him down there for no real good reason and they will be stuck with a 15,000 plus bill for the life flight! needless to say i am not happy with our local hospital. it seems like the health care in this area is going way way way downhill all the way around. oh well i guess. not much you can do about it when you live in a small town.
so now in the morning they will be having the internists look at him to see where the pain, ranging fomr a 5 to an 8 on a scale of 10, is coming from. I am trying to stay positive, with the help of my wonderful wife S, but soemtimes it is hard. he is an old school kind of guy. he never asks for help, never gos tot he dr for anything, and hates going to the hospital. with is hear attacks he had to be drug kicking and screaming to get checked out. so im worried because he was the one that asked for the ambulance. not my mom or grandma or aunt, but him. thats what really worries me.
well i think thats about it for now. i will try and be better about updating things here and keeping up on everything.
