Pleurisy
Do you have any idea what Pleurisy is? I didn't until Friday night.
I had 'stabbing' pain in my right side since Tuesday. It got so bad on Friday that no matter what I did, I had more pain. I ended up going to the Lewisville hospital and had 2 xrays. They gave me a shot of muscle relaxant in my hip and then prescribed Motrin, a muscle relaxant and Vicodin. I will tell you now, I had a very UNEVENTFUL weekend. :-)
Pleurisy is an inflammation of the lining around the lung. It is usually due to a viral infection or pneunmonia. It lasts 10 to 14 days. It causes sharp pain with breathing, coughing, sneezing and movement. (Right from the hospitals information paperwork)
My UNEVENTFULL weekend started with Saturday. Mike made pancakes for breakfast. I ate, took my pills, fell asleep. At lunch he made hamburgers, I ate, took my pills, fell asleep. I woke up to get in the pool for about an hour. I didn't do a whole lot since I had pain, so I just floated around. Then we decided to get some dinner. As soon as I got in the car and we were moving, I felt sick. We ended up at CheeseCake Factory. I ordered the Chicken Teryaki, which I totally love, and was unable to eat it. Just looking at it made me feel sick. I felt so bad for Mike, he tried to do such a nice thing and I ended up not eating. It made a very good lunch on Monday though. When we got home I took my pills again and fell asleep. Mike woke me up to take my pills again and then I went to bed. Sunday was pretty much the same except we stayed home this time. There was no way I was going to go any where after Saturday.
So, as you can see, a very UNEVENTFUL weekend. (tee hee)

Amazing
Can you believe someone would do this to their pet?
Sebastian, a Persian cat with long black hair, sports gold crowns on his two large teeth, which grew sticking out from his lips in an underbite similar to a bulldog's. Concerned that his cat's exposed teeth could be damaged, Dr. David Steele a dentist from Alexandria, Ind., had gold crowns made for his cat pet. (AP Photo/Dr. David Steele via The Herald-Bulletin)

Texas Weather
We have been in Texas since February 19th. Since that time we have had the following weather:
31 days that were OVER 100 degrees. On July 18th it was 107 degrees during the day and on July 17th it was 83 degrees at NIGHT.
It has been over 100 degrees for the last 9 days.
37 days we had rain, the measurement of the rain ranges from .001 inches (August 11th) to 3.44 inches (March 19th).
The lowest temperature was 31 degrees on February 19th, during the day, and 24 degrees that same night. This is also the smallest range of temperature in a day, 7 degrees.
The largest range of temperature in a day, March 10th. 86 degrees during the day and 50 degrees at night. That is a 36 degree difference!!
So as you can see, the weather here is odd. But I keep reminding myself...it may be hot, but it isn't humid.
