It had been rather hectic for the past few days for us. Mil got warded into the intensive unit on Monday. She has a blood clot in her lungs. The first 24 hours were a bit stressful for us as anything can happen within these 24 hours. Good news is, she got better after 2 days and is moving to the normal ward today. She will have to stay in the hospital for 3 weeks as the doctors still have to monitor her.
DD started to limp yesterday after her bath. She was whining about her knee/leg is hurting. She said she fell from her trampolin. We have a trampolin indoor. It got worse this morning and this time she had tears when she tried to stand on her feet. Took her to the doctor and he said he can't really see or know what it is (typical Danish doctors, isn't it?). I bet he must be thinking that we are one of the 100th parents who just bring their kids to them daily when they only have to whine about some pain. DD is not a whiner and very often she forgets her pain within minutes. If she feels the pain for so many hours, something is really wrong. He said to call him again tomorrow morning if she still can't walk by herself. He will then refers her to have an xray. Let's hope she still has her leg tomorrow.
These 2 incidents got me into recalling something. I noticed that something always happen each time we work in the garden. We had stayed in this house for more than a year. The first owner of this house is a plant and flower lover. A lot of people said he is really good at planting plants, trees and flowers which are easy to take care and also blooming all year round. All the neighbours told us that he took great pride in his garden before he passed away. Our main problem is that there are too many trees, plants and flowers all over the place. We started to chop down a lot of trees and took off a lot of flowers and plants. The 2nd owner who owned this house for 3 years was planting flowers all over the place. It just gives me headache to see flowers all over the place. I prefer to have them situated at certain areas. Last year, my brother in law was here helping to chop down the trees. He digged off 1 huge old tree trunk out that last time and went back to my inlaws on the same day to repair the garage roof and he fell from the roof. He broke his ribs and was in the hospital for 3 weeks. Me, got so sick for 2 months last May. I was working a lot in the garden, pulling flowers and weeds out.
For the past week, I had been pulling out weeds and took all the stones away (a little area just outside the main door for DD's planting). 2 days later, mil was warded into into the intensive unit and now DD has pain in her leg. So, isn't it spooky or am I just being too sensitive? Should I continue to work in the garden or not?
