Happy Halloween From E-577

So I'm sitting in my hospital bed with nothing to do, so you get a blog update. I've got a blood clot in my left lung but I've started taking blood thinning medicine so it's only uphill from here. I got to the ER Thursday night/Friday morning around 12:30. I then went back for a CT scan around 2:30 and was informed of my Pulmonary Embolism (PE) around 2:50. I was admitted to the hospital at 4:30 am and hooked up to a heart monitor. Since then I've had my blood drawn 4 times that produced probably 10 tests. 5 of them are to see if there is an underlying condition that would have caused the clot. The others are to test my blood level and the thinness. I'm taking shots called Lovenox and a pill called coumadin to thin my blood. The shots are more temporary than the pill. 1 week vs 6 months. I've had lots of visitors and hoping for more. I will be here until Sunday. If you are unable to come visit, text messages and phone calls are more than appreciated. 801-652-5104.

Witchy Treats

This is a treat bag fashioned to look like a witches broom. I made it with my old roommate Abby and our "little sister." This week was my first week in joining Abby with her service in the Big Brother Big Sister program. The little girl is 10 years old and likes to dance. To make the treat bag you need two lunch sacks, a stick, ribbon and candy. Take one bag and cut all sides into strips for the broom. Place the other bag on top and fill with candy. Insert stick and tie the ribbon around the strips. Walah! Perfect Halloween goody bag.

Child Leashes

In short, I am against children on leashes. Leashes are for pets, not
children. Also, pets do not count as children. Contrary to Jessica
Simpson's belief you are not a mom if you only have a dog. Even if it
does get snatched by a coyote right in front of your eyes.

Blind Date Numero Dos!

I went on a date last night with a boy I'd never met. But, I guess this one can't really be considered a blind date since I've talked to the kid for two years, but still. He was in the MTC when Harry was there and started writing to me at the beginning of his mission. We wrote for the two years he served in Australia and finally met yesterday when we went out to dinner. It was a double date with the other couple consisting of one of his old mission companions and his fiance. It was a little amusing to have such a contrast in progress of relationships...engaged and just meeting. Pretty fun. We went to The Pie up by the U and had a really fun time. I'll let you know if there is a sequel.

These people know how to make a good party
