Things don't always go as planned!

I am happy to say that Tuesday is just about done! I think I might just turn off the computer and get in bed after this post!

Today, my 18 month old niece spent the day with my grandma and then went to the urgent care where she was diagnosed with croup.  My grandma, who has dementia, was taken by ambulance to the ER because she fell and they need to do a CT scan of her head. She had surgery on her hip a few weeks ago and most recently broke her arm and now has a bright blue cast! She also has disabled the sensor on her wheelchair so that the nurses/staff do not know when she gets out of her chair. Oh, and she tried to eat a bingo chip. What? Even my baby niece hasn't tried this.

Did you think I was done? Nope...no, not even close. My grandma ended up in a different ER tonight because of chest pains. So, my mom, dad and I headed to the hospital.  The ER was flu city, so gross! I asked to wait outside so that I was not infected by the germs. By now it is nearly 8 pm, I have not worked out or had dinner.  I had already logged my points in to ww based on what I thought I was going to eat. So while my dad went in to see my grandma and grandpa, mom and I went to the cafeteria. I ordered a cheeseburger and made a salad.  Yes, that is correct, no french fries for this girl! I wasn't going to get a work out in, but I was not going to shove greasy, carb loaded fries in to my face! I felt a big sense of accomplishment...it is the little things!

Grandma ended up confusing pain in her shoulder (from the fall this morning) with chest pains. So she will be going back to the home shortly.  Now I sit here thinking that the phone will probably ring at any moment, with my mom telling me she is taking dad to the ER....keeping my fingers crossed that his chest pain goes away. This is a daily occurrence for him, so we usually just wait it out.

Needless to say, I scratched my workout and re-figured my points for the day. I still have 1 point left, not too bad.

I started Week 2 of c25k and it went well (on Sunday).  For some reason, it felt a little easy. We will see how the next day goes!

I have had enough of this day and am ready for bed!
