Closer to Normal

After bringing Stacey home from the hospital Thursday, it was touch and go for a while, we made it till about 3:30 PM, then we needed to give Stacey a Diazapham to stop the involuntary movements again. We followed up with another about 15 minutes later. We gave her a third tablet about 4:50 PM and that seemed to stop all the tremors and twitching. We continued to watch her nervously the rest of the evening and everyone slept lightly except Stacey. Friday was ok, we kept a close eye on Stacey and things went OK. We even went to Albany and ate at Burger King in the evening. Saturday morning everything was going good. Linda fixed us eggs and bacon with a few biscuits for breakfast, but Stacey was as grumpy as I have ever seen her. We couldn't tell if she was feeling bad or it was just the 'hangover' from the medicine. I guess it was the latter, because after about two hours she straightened up and was pleasant to be around. I went down to the hay shed and loaded the Mule with a bed full of wood, drove to the back porch and unloaded it. It filled the wood racks 2/3rds of the way. Back down at the shed, I tried to start the blue Ford tractor, but the battery was low on charge, so I jumped it off of the Mule. Instead of just letting it set there and run, I decided to fill in some holes with dirt. I scooped up a few buckets from the branch between the hay fields and dumped them where they were needed. I noticed Linda and Stacey were riding around in the Mule while I was playing in the dirt. It was a nice day, near 60 degrees and mostly sunny. Stacey felt good enough that we went to town and ate at Hamilton's BBQ. Linda was wanting to taste their stuff again, she missed our trip there the other day when she was working. When we returned to the farm, Stacey watched another Pacer game while Linda and I watched a movie upstairs as dark settled in on the farm. It's heck on our nerves having to watch Stacey constantly and it isn't easy for Stacey either. We're constantly yelling, "Hey are you ok in there?"
