Evacuation

It has been a month since my last visits with the drs in SLC so it was time for me to come back. I called my parents as I was on my way over there and found out that my mom was in the hospital  . . . . . AGAIN. It was late when I got in so our visit Sun night was short. Dad and I went home to Elwood. As I walked in the door I could smell gas. Dad could not smell it but said that other people had smelled it before and the gas company had not found anything. Monday morning I could not smell gas, but he still called the gas company. I'm glad I decided to shower before they came. The gas company guy checked around and found a leak in the underground line. He evacuated us out of the house. He said we could go in and get what we needed and then we would not be allowed back in. So I spent most of the day visiting mom at the hospital. They did not get the gas line completed Monday night. The problem with that is Carl needed gas to have hot water in the barn. As of Tues afternoon the gas line still was not complete. There was gas in the soil and they needed to do some welding. Hopefully they got that done today.

I saw my new rheumatologist today. I learned that rheumatologists treat up to 70 different ailments. I like her alot. And that is a good thing because I think she likes me too. I think we will be seeing plenty of each other. Today she had about a liter of blood drawn for tests. She is trying to find the cause for some muscle weakness that I have.

I took my pressure canner in to get tested today (in between my dr visits). My canner didn't do any better with it's dr visits than I do with mine. I was told that they do not recommend that I use that canner anymore until I have replaced the gauge. I have a new gauge ordered. I don't have any plans to use it right away anyway so no big deal there.

Rachel arrives tonight and Steph is coming to join the fun tomorrow. I will be getting some kind of produce to take home to can. Let the fun begin!
