Senior Moment

I’m waiting for a call on the radio telling me our first campers have arrived at the welcome center. I thought I’d better update things. I’m going to tell on myself. I can do it now that’s it’s been a week.

I took some meat into the walk in fridge-freezer in the pavilion. I walked into the fridge and tried the freezer door. Couldn’t get it open. After trying and trying I thought I’d just leave it in the fridge part, tried to go out the the fridge door and it wouldn’t open either! I thought, this only happens in the movies, not in real life! Thank goodness I had my coat and gloves on. I just stood there in the fridge thinking what should I do. I knew Robert was out and about on his 4-wheeler and eventually he would come along and see my 4-wheeler running outside of the pavilion. It took about 10 min., but he came in calling my name and I started pounding on the door! I was never so glad to see any one in my life. He said it would have been funny except for the scared look on my face. You see, all I had to do was push on the fridge door and it opened…………da! What a SENIOR moment that was!

Another interesting thing happened this week. Monday I ended up in the Heber Valley Hospital emergency room. That morning I’d had chest pain and heaviness and shortness of breath. After resting for 3-4 hours it got better and then came back again. So, we decided we needed to check my blood pressure. We couldn’t find anyone with a cuff, even at the welcome center so we headed to Heber to Smith’s and used their machine. BP was 187/98. Well, that wasn’t good so we headed to the Hospital. After blood tests and EKG, they thought there might be a blood clot in my lungs, so off to the C-scan we go. No blood clot, but I do have gall stones and that could cause these symptoms. Nothing life threatening and I thank Heavenly Father for another of HIS tender mercies. Rob came to Heber straight from work in SL. He and Robert gave me a blessing. I know I am supposed to be here and finish this mission and I plan to do just that, (with HIS help)
