The big catch up post

 Well girls it has been a while since I've did a real blog post.Lots of pics and catching up to do so you might want to grab some sweet tea or lemonade and get comfy...Hubbies back has still been very bad.Most days he can't even walk so he has been unable to work,We do not have insurance and last week he was in so much pain and couldn't walk again so we took him to the emergency room.Well they didn't even really look at him,did no xrays and the Dr just decided herniated/ruptured disk and sciatica with no exam and hubby kept telling him alot of the pain was in the hip joint.Their remedy tell him we'll be right back to get you out of pain.They went to lunch and forgot him for an hour.The dr comes back and says how are you feeling now? Ummm the same nothing was done.So they give him 2 shots leave for another hour and when he tries to get up collaspes.So they decided to do IV and do not tell us anything about what could happen.Well thy gave him double dose of morphin,valium and some other powerful drug and didn't tell us what they are doing.Well they leave again and hubby starts sweating profusely,his blood pressure went way up and he started talking about strange stuff and couldn't keep conscience.The nurse comes back and says lets get you on the way.Well the IV is still stuck in his arm and I suggest maybe you should take his vitals.She says he could have a stroke better lay back down a while.They leave again for a hour.It's been almost 6 hours I decide it be better to take him home and just put him to bed so I have to go search for someone to get the IV out and bring me a wheel chair.They refer him to one of there Drs and they tell me I need $500 for the intial visit,that the will do a xray but not really do nothing till the follow up visit and then they will need a MRI which will be at least $600.I tell her we don't have that kind of money.Hubby can't work and our bills need paid.And why when a xray will not show anything would I need that? She says she knows it won't show anything and isn't sure why they wouldn't just do the MRI.I say well we can't make the appointment since they don't do payment arrangements.Her response your OK with that? Well no but what can we do...So I've contacted several agency about discounted insurance.But it's a process..In the mean time I've been doing 3 flea markets a week.Then out searching for things to sell 3 days a week.I've been having one day off but that day is spent cleaning,running errands and such.So I've been busy....

 We have been enjoying the Lancaster Flea Market it's a drive but the people are so friendly.It's very relaxing once your set up.Plus they have the yummiest food (mostly Amish) We get cherry turnovers,and mini pumpkin cream cheese muffins every week and I get to see my very dear friend Lisa.It's a tuesday market so it's a differnt crowd than weekends...Pic above and below are part of my stand...

 More of my stand..That's about half of it..No one can believe I fit all that in my vehicle..LoL..I'm a good packer and hubby has the knack of piling it in right..

 Loved the round antique basket...

 Colonial hanging cupboard..

 This market is in the middle of Amish country surrounded by corn fields.In the spring and fall the amish are out in the fields with there horse drawn plows..

 Wanna take the girls here one day....It's on the way back from market..

 Thursday was our small town carnival so we took the girls.Boy they are growing up too fast.I keep telling Hannah I want her to stay little longer and she politely explains she need to grow up so she can get married and have kids then I can they can spend time with me..smile...Brianna is in the tom boy stage right now..Of course wouldn't smile..

 Hannah still all girl...Gotta giggle Hubby said hi to a lady he knows and Hannah ask who she was? I said Tom's friend.Hannah goes Oh his lady friend don't worry Amy you are prettier than her..smile...
