Sometime between dropping your daddy off at the cath lab yesterday morning and picking him up in the afternoon, I wrenched something in my back. It wasn't too bad this morning, so we went out and got Jakob signed up for soccer in the fall, and spent the rest of the day at the Carson City Multicultural Festival at the city college campus. But then we came home and I can't take a deep breath without stabbing pain in my mid-back, and I can't bend, twist, sit or lie down. Thankfully, I have an arsenal of painkillers at my disposal from the last few times I've been bad off enough to require meds.
Cath lab? Oh yeah. Daddy's heart is giving him problems again. He had some chest pain last week, and went in for some tests, resulting in getting cathed yesterday. They weren't sure if they were going to put in more stents or if they were going to have to crack him open again, so yesterday we were hoping for the best, but preparing for the worst. Luckily, they just went in, looked around a bit, didn't find any viable veins to stent, and sent him home, saying they will try and just remedy this with a change in meds and restricting his diet even more. More as this develops.
Signed you up for soccer today, Jakob. The mother of one of your teammates last year was at the registration booth; she's some kind of official with the regional soccer organization. She came over and was nice and chatted with us a bit, then walked over and talked briefly with the lady manning the registration desk right before we sat down and handed over our paperwork and our registration fee. Paranoid Momma of course just KNOWS that she was quickly whispering something to the lady at the desk like... "I don't want this next kid on my son's team. Put their paperwork in a different pile."
Isn't Momma awful?
Then we headed to Carson to see what Carson's version of "multicultural" is. I was thinking it might be a bunch of booths with various different shades of white people, but it was actually pretty cool. There was a mariachi band, Japanese taiko drummers, some martial arts demos, and lots of different ethnic foods, including Momma's favorite!!!
Indian tacos!!!
This is the real reason I drove us all here today. I had heard there would be Taiko drummers. I would LOVE to learn how to do this. Too cool.
Jakob's friend from school was there with his family, and they were running the Indian taco booth. We stole him away and spent the rest of the afternoon at the children's art area, where you all made Navajo sand paintings, dreamcatchers, Australian rainsticks, Chinese lanterns and Mexican bead bracelets.
Photo snapped at an off-moment. I think you guys actually had a lot more fun than this image indicates. Gawd, at least I hope so. Cheer up, guys!
Here's you and your friend. You guys had a really good time together today. I'm going to ask his mom if we can take him to a movie or something next weekend.
You guys with some of the stuff you made.
Well, the percocet's working and I'm feeling kind of muzzy. I'm sure I've got more to say, but it'll have to wait. Love you! Let's stay in tomorrow, 'kay!?!?
