VFW Post 4006 Auxiliary meeting May 18
This week has flown by so quickly and I don’t have many notes of news to share.
I know one thing, having a medical procedure for me can be a challenge for nurses. Friday was one of those days. It took four nurses and six sticks to get an IV in me. Almost a week later, I still have the proof! They finally found a vein at the very top of my arm, near my shoulder, closer to my armpit. I still have those markings too. I think I set a record for the hospital! Afterwards, the doctor told Kacie that I was good this time.
Little Man and I went to church Sunday. He wouldn’t go to the front of the church for the Children’s message, but he did stand in the aisle and watch. Does that count for participation? He found a key chain in my purse and thought he was going somewhere as he waved and said “Bye Bye” to members in the church. His best trick was when he took off to the front door as we were leaving. I guess the line was just too long for him to wait. I was so thankful that Jim Britt caught that little escapee. Of course, Jim had to put him in the car again.
