Donald, Pancrea, etc
It has indeed been a tough week. I've tried 3 times now to post about Donald. Various reasons from all the words dry up to computer melt down have kept me from posting.
I need to say how important Donald was to me. When I told Preston two things, I realized he was a father figure to me. Donald's approval of Preston way back then was more important than anyone in my family. And it was Donald I asked to come check out our house when we were gonna buy. I can tell you how I got my pocketknife, Donald needed a tie fast, I don't remember the why. I was the first female he found, so he had me go with him to the men's store and pick out a tie. I didn't pay it a whole lot of attention (come to think of it, it may have been a fashion show we were getting ready for), I looked quickly at his suit and shirt, and grabbed a tie that I think was a blue and red striped. Never gave it another thought. Then I hear around that Donald thinks I'm the best tie picker he's ever met. Before too long, I have myself a real hand-me-down-honest-to-goodness pocketknife.
I can do Donald stories forever, but I'm still a bit too sad to enjoy them.
Preston is having another pancreas attack right now. He didn't want to tell me about it. If I hadn't come by the station, he would have just suffered through a remote on air for 3 hours. This time there is pain and throwing up. He's at home on liquids and pain meds for the holiday weekend. We'll see if we stay out of the hospital. He does have an appointment with the gastro..something doctor in about a week. I'm now worried there may be something else going on. Clearly his gp doctor does too, since he set up the appointment with the specialist.
I made Preston chili, but it's extra lean meat, no added fat product at all. Maybe too spicy. Sigh. I was going to make sugar free, fat free homemade chocolate ice cream. But, he can't have dairy when he's under attack. I may make it elsewhere and save him some for later in the week.
Oddly, I feel like I'm writing emotionless, which is so not the case these days. I need a shaker of good adjectives and maybe even some adverbs to sprinkle around in here.
