Dad called this morning and said mom was in the hospital with blood clots in her lungs. She's been having trouble breathing for a couple days and thought she had asthma. I guess it got so bad last night they went to the hospital first thing this morning.
They put her on blood thinners and I guess plan to keep her for a day or two. My sister and I plan to go in this afternoon and will learn more then.
I got another letter from King Soopers offering me $5 for filling out a prescription survey on why I transfered my prescription. I got that and then got mom and dad some candy bars and a bag of frozen shrimp for me. I was looking for Milky Way caramel bars since that's mom's favorite, but couldn't find them at either Safeway or King Soopers. They used to have them everywhere, maybe they took them out of our market.
I watched Rango last night from Netflix - it was cute.
I finished reading the library book Sam's Creed by Sarah McCarty. Romance - very good.

your post led me to do some figuring. It is now 65 days since my 93 y/o dad has been out of the hospital/rehab which is MUCH better than the previous 12 months w/5 hospital rehab stints. Of course, it has been VERY $$$ with a FT 24/7 caretaker=>14k but he is getting GREAT care.
