Guess this will be a good day to settle in with the book I'm currently reading and finish it.
The flu is rampant in this area right now. Â Little Buddy fell victim this past weekend. Â Sunday she was running 102 temperature, complaining of aching all over, of having a sore throat, and of a headache. Â Holly and Bevan took her to an urgent care clinic where a test determined it was the flu.
Since she had just come down with the symptoms  that morning, the doctor prescibed Tamiflu, which is only effective if the flu is diagnosed in the first 48 hours. Â
Thank goodness he did because it knocked it very quickly. Â She was much better even the next day. Â Bevan is one of those Republicans who has a paranoia against the flu shot. Â Next year, I am going to personally take them to get a flu shot. Â That is such a ridiculous reason not to get a flu shot.
I was worried because Holly had to be out of town until last night. Â She and the CFO, who is also the group President, and three divisional heads had to review the Greenville, TX. location, the Tulsa facility, and the Mississippi locale.
They were able to get it done in three days. The corporate jet makes it so much easier and quicker. Â This trip would have taken five days if they had flown commercially.
Speaking of my son-in-law, sometimes he amazes me. Keep in mind that this is a man who leads us in prayer before we eat, whether we are at home, McDonald's or the nicest restaurant in town.
Tuesday, I had a colonoscopy...don't even get me started on how much fun that little procedure is. Â
Bevan had to pick me up, since Holly was out of town. Â The girls, who get very upset if I go to the hospital for any reason, wanted their dad to tell them WHY I had to go to the hospital that morning.
He tried to calm their fears by telling them that it was just a test. Â That, of course, was not enough. Â They wanted to know WHAT KIND OF TEST.
Bevan, who always uses five sentences where one would suffice, began laboriously in his explanation by stating,Â
"Do you know what the colon is?" Â They got that; after all they take science in school.
Then he explained that the doctor uses a scope to look at the colon.
If only that had satisfied them! However, they had to know JUST HOW the scope could look at the colon. He explained that the doctor does it with a camera.
But they, Kenzie in particular, wanted to know HOW the camera could take the pictures because the colon was inside.
Bevan, who was getting in deeper all the time, finally blurted out. "They put a tube up her butt." Â
I just know I could have done it in a more diplomatic and tactful way, but that is men for you. They have a real time working their way out of a corner, once they get backed into one.
Little Buddy spilled the beans, telling me what Daddy had said. Â I blew it off, and we all had a laugh last night after Holly got home. Â That is, Holly and I had a laugh, though we both could not believe he had actually said that.
Bevan began stuttering, getting red-faced, trying to explain how the whole conversation with the girls disintegrated to that point. Right back in that corner again.
