Rich's Birthday

Rich's birthday was yesterday, and the day before. lol
We treated Monday as his birthday and he decided on pancakes and sausage for breakfast followed by a cuddle session with his baby girl and Scooby-Doo on the tube. He picked out the only existing Soda Shop around here which resides in our neighboring town of Hoquium. It's really nicely decorated and still has a lot of it's old charm. It has the original soda bar with stools to sit at, a "penny candy" section, a neat display of old antiques, old window curtains with matching table clothes and iron heart chairs. They had a nice menu of melts, salads and sandwiches, soda and ice cream. Neat place. :-)
From there we dropped off Nana and Livie and went to see Indiana Jones together, ALONE, together, by OURSELVES. LOL a present in itself right mommies and daddies? :-) Good movie, well done, but a very non Indian Jones twist to it. Good, but not what i was exspecting.
From there, we went and hung at the house for a bit then all of us went to a local resteraunt named Billy's. COOL place. Nice and clean, great ambiance, neat old building. Used to be a bar with an upstairs bordello back in the day. lol It's a cool place, they had a really nice old bar you could sit at, with a lot of great booths for dining. Definitely a place i wouldn't mind hanging out at. If we had friends, and wasn't preggo and could nurse a drink for the evening. lol :-) ha
The foods really good, juicy hamburgers, good menu. mmmm
Topped the night off with his favorite chocolate cake. can't get better than that for my Richie. Time with his favorite girl, good meals and chocolate. lol
On his actual birthday we did another of his favorites, steak burritos and the rest of his cake and some ice cream. He got off early and was home by 6!! that means he only worked a 10 hour day. lol

My poor Richie, keep sending good thoughts his way please. His mouth is almost to a pain free level every day from having his 2 molars and 2 teeth pulled and thank god the swelling and bruising in his leg is finally down except for the original point of impact where he'll probably have a good hematoma for a while. But at least our fear of blood clots and possible surgary is over and we're thanking god for that. Those were a truly scary 3-4 days. "You have a really high red cell count, the ultrasound looks good except for one vein we can see because of the swelling, it might be a possible blood clot that could let go and kill you, but just go home, put your leg up for 3 days, if the swelling doesn't go down, come back, we can probably do a surgery and cut out the area where the blood clot might possibly be. Just keep your leg up and wait." (deep breathing is required for me at the memory of that) He's back to work now though and starting to feel better. But his life is always in 3's. And it's been his teeth, his leg... we're waiting for the 3rd. Good thoughts, prayers, whatever is your preferred method. lol

What the ????

What happened to Rich's leg? Wow, that is extremely scary! I'm really glad it's in the clear now.

Glad to hear that he had such a great birthday - 2 days in row.

My good thoughts are with you for a very mild third.
