Monkey Dust

Dad was coherent today and doing much better.  His blood pressure  and pulse rate were improved, but his red blood count and hemoglobin were still low.  CCU decided to give him more blood transfusions to try to improve his condition.

Sadly, CCU apparently failed to tell Dad that Mom and I were up there all day yesterday and again last night, so when Dad awoke he thought he had been abandoned.  That really tore me up.    We reassured him that we had been at the hospital all during his surgery and with him in CCU when he was still flakey from the anesthesia, but he remembers none of it.  We stayed at the hospital all day until early evening, then went to get something for supper.

Mom wanted an omelette, so we went to IHOP and split a mushroom & spinach omellette and an order of their Stuffed French Toast.  Then we hit Publix to pick up a few groceries.  I had not been inside a Publix since I moved away from Florida three years ago.  I was shocked to find they had one of my favorite seasonings that is not available in Tennessee!  Officially, it is called "Everglades Seasoning."  Unofficially, fans call it "Monkey Dust."    I am so glad to find a source for it not so far away!
