Property Appraisal and Night At The Hospital

Linda had found out that Betty Garmon was selling some of her lilies flowers because the highway was taking their property and she was going to have to move them. So, Linda went down there in the Mule and bought enough to fill the rear of the Mule completely full. The next morning, Stacey began having trouble around 6:30 AM and we began giving her Valium. I had to set the flowers out of the Mule and behind the house so Linda could water them before transplanting to their permanent location. At 12:10 PM we gave Stacey more Valium for a total of 35 mg. An appraiser for the KY State Highway Department had made an appointment with me for 1 PM to look at our property. He arrived and showed us a few drawings of what their plans were going to be.

I immediately told him there were some new things on the plans that I didn't like. One was a temporary easement that would cause them to remove several trees near our fire pit where the old house used to stand. We talked about that a while, then a few other items I was unsure about. Next we walked from building to building while he took pictures and made notations of the measurements he took with a laser device. We eventually had all the building photographed and measured and he also took pictures of the hay fields, our picnic area and fire pit. My feelings about the road project are that we are going to get the shaft. After the guy left, my attention returned to Stacey. Linda had been keeping an eye on her during the appraisal. After a couple of hours, Stacey began having more involuntary movement in her arms and shoulders. Linda and I had reached the limit of the Valium the doctors had given us to administer, so I called Dr Rice's office and they talked to the doctor and he advised we take Stacey to the ER at the hospital. We loaded Stacey in the HHR and drove to the ER. The ER doctor had an IV started and was monitoring Stacey and was able to observe her involuntary movements. He was concerned about the amount of Valium she had been given, so he administered Adavan to stop the involuntary movements a little after 4 PM. They admitted Stacey for 24 hour evaluation and Stacey was visited by Dr Rice around 7:30 PM. He gave her 5 mg Valium through her IV at 8 PM and that stopped her involuntary movements. Stacey was wide awake and talking after taking 40 mg of Valium and 10 mg Adavan during the day. I stayed at the hospital and let Linda go home and change into some warmer clothes as the AC was cranking out the cold air. She returned about 10:30 PM and I went home to sleep. I woke and returned to the hospital around 4:30 AM and let Linda go home and sleep. Stacey slept without incident through the night and was very sleepy during the morning hours. Linda returned to relieve me around noon and I left for about 2 hours, then Linda called and said Stacey had been released to come home. I returned to pick them up and bring them home.
