Worst Birthday Ever


Hubby's birthday was today. He had planned on having a low-key, casual day. His vacation from work started on Wednesday, so he was sure to have the day off.

The kids came over on Wednesday afternoon to dump Bravo so they could go spend time with the in-laws. However, Bravo decided he did not want to have fun at Granny's house. He was a bad little B! Growled at the other dogs, growled at granny, chewed the rugs outside.

When the kids returned, we talked a while before going to bed. Watched a South Park episode that had been pre-recorded. Hilarious.

Planning on sleeping in early did not happen. The dogs were up by 5AM with me to go out to potty. It was raining and they balked. Went back to bed. Gave hubby his cupcake & candle & birthday song. KRL-N came up to let Bravo out with all the other dogs & Zeus piddled around walking the fence line as usual. KRL-N drooled against the door, falling asleep again. She was finally able to return to bed...with Lil Bit following her down to the basement & sleeping between her legs...

Then the dogs woke up an hour later with hubby and wanted to go out to potty again. Hubby's turn!

Hubby returned to bed. To sleep in late. NOT. Some kid knocked on the door. At 8AM. Dogs barking. Total chaos. Seems there had been an accident last night. One of the kids that frequents RMOR had rolled their truck while 4-wheeling & was in serious condition. The kid knocking on the door was his best friend since high school & wanted to fetch his truck that RMOR had been working on in the shop. So hubby got dressed & was gone out the door.

By 10AM, we got organized after a nice birthday breakfast of sausages & waffles. Even Matt ate! So we got lattes later & headed to Round Lake to walk the dogs in the rain. Was nice. Half way through, hubby's knee went out. It was awful. He was in lots of pain. Got home & called doctor. Orthopedic surgeon scheduled appt June 3! OMG! That far out? So we took him to general MD to get pain pills. Also a note from doctor saying he will not be able to walk, kneel, or exert pressure on leg until a 1 week follow-up.

Hubby in pain & on painkillers. Stopped to get drugs in Rathdrum, got gasoline at Costco, cheeseburgers for dogs at Wendys, dog food at Aslin Finch, leg brace in Hayden at other MDs.

For the rest of the evening, hubster rested on couch with leg elevated & brace on & ice on top of that!
