Making up for Friday

Because we went to the ER in the middle of the night Thursday-Friday, I was pretty worthless yesterday. I sat, zombie like, at the computer. I knew what I wanted and needed to do, but just could not make myself do it.
Today I have been to most of my sites. Made a big pitcher of tea for hubby, been to most of my daily sites. I sent out music selection to the lady that does the bulletin and finally planted the iris my daughter gave me.
The hose is running on my plants, and soaking up the soil.
I decided to come here, but I keep getting "called away" by my great niece on messenger.
It is time to check on doing some mowing after I turn off the hose.. So I will see you later. Image is mine, not related to post. Yarrow (achillea) growing in one of my gardens.

@GardenGerty I am so sorry to hear that there are more problems. I am so hoping and praying that something will come along to help.

@GardenGerty Praying for your hubby. Been having trouble with Mike's dad more frequently with UTI's. Been to the doctors with him 4 times in the past month and a half. Monday they checked and said along with the bladder cancer and uti he has a kidney stone. More antibiotics and something to shrink the stone. Wait and see how he responds.
He refuses to have anything else done with the cancer, stopped all treatments after his fourth surgery a couple years ago.

More urinary issues. Probably got dehydrated over vacation and has been fighting an infection and all that involves. Thanks for asking.

It is always a good day when I can enjoy both online and off line things.

It is hard to get going, after a night like that. Sometimes, I feel like I need batteries.

Or a jumpstarter. I got two spurts of about two hours each overnight and that just was not enough.

He has a UTI and it stops up his bladder. We have been twice this last week.

Hindsight is 20/20, we should have had labs run while at the urologist last week. Hubby would have gotten his UTI appropriately treated and we would have missed both ER trips this week. I need to harvest some of this plant. It is a very healing herb.

@GardenGerty Hindsight is INDEED 20/20. We all miss things from time to time though. Did not know this was something you could eat.

I did. It was good to get some things done outdoors.

My grass knows I don't have time to mow it, so it's been growing slowly. The weeds, on the other hand, have no such compassion.

Well, I cannot help it that my husband is not well. Taking care of things for him adds to things. I love doing the outdoor stuff, though.
