Having Sean staying with us "indefinitely" has not come without some hiccoughs. I need not rehash Easter dinner, but I will tell you the latest event that could have been a barrage of needless medical bills.
Me little grey haired, apple cheeked, Mam was busy today. She did her laundry, the kiddo's laundry, tidied up the house, sweep the back deck, fed the rabbit, rinsed the dishes and decided to take a break. She went onto the back deck with our dog to relax a wee bit. Already out there sunning himself was cousin Sean who did not a lick of anything all day. Anyway, Mam is out there enjoying the breeze, the quiet when Sean interrupts her peace with this:
"Due ye always shake like dat aunt?" He asked her.
Well, me Mam wasn't aware she was shaking but she looked down at her arms resting on the chair and oh dear she was shaking like a leaf.
"Well . . . I be a bit hot frum werkin' house chores," said she continuing to shake.
"I tink maybe ye should goo inside dare auntie, yer gonna haf a heart attack out here in dis heat."
"Oh my," she said, "the breeze wuz coolin' me off it wuz. How's me colour?"
"Well, when ya came oot ya looked kinda red in da face ya did, but now yer kinda pale."
"Oh my," she said, watching her shaking getting worse.
"I'll drive ya ta da casualty." Sean said about to get up.
That's when I came out to take in a breath of fresh air. I could see right off something was amiss and heard Sean's offer. I asked what was the matter. I was told me Mam was probably having a heart attack or worse stroke from doing too much housework.
She looked perfectly fine to me, except there was worry on her brow. I watched the shaking and noticed the dog was leaning up against her chair panting. Un huh, thank you Sean.
I called the dog to me and miracle of miracles, the shaking stopped.
"I suddenly feel better," me Mam said noticing she wasn't shaking anymore.
I tell ya!
I explained it was the dog doing the shaking next to her chair and that she was perfectly fine no thanks to Dr. Sean who looked quite a bit embarrassed about upsetting the olwan. Can you imagine if he did drive her to casualty and they sent her for tests? Gees Louise! I am grateful he be looking out for Mam and all, but couldn't he be a bit more observant before he puts the fear of God in her and has me paying large medical bills for nothing? Oi!
