First of all, I woke up with a terrible sore throat and have been congested most of the day. I think it’s cold, but it could also be partially due to the weather (cold, rainy and windy). I did buy something for it but unfortunately it is a nighttime remedy, so I am trying to hold off on taking it until bedtime.
Second, my grandmother has been taken to a Hospice Care facility. She has been there since late last night and we are unsure if she will ever come back “home”. After having 15 bowel movements last night, all of which had blood clots in them, the Hospice nurse felt this was the best decision. I am hoping that it is not a permanent stay but if it is, I know she is in great hands and will be taken care of. My mom lives about 20 miles from the facility, my sister and aunt live about 4 miles from it - there will always be someone there with her. This has really started to make me consider flying home. I am absolutely terrified about this but since Jo is unable to travel there and back by car/truck/bus, this is really the only option for us. It makes me queasy to think about but I know it is definitely something I have to consider at this point.
I am fixing to call my mom right now and get an update on my grandmother’s condition.
PS; I will be announcing the winner of the handbag contest later on tonight. Be sure to check back later for that.

I feel you on the whole throat thing. It’s just that time of year apparently because everyone Indiana to Canada seems to have this stuff.
I’ll send good thoughts to your grandma. I hope it’s only temporary. I know I have never flown in my life…yet…and if I were you’d I’d be torn. I’d definitely want to go back home, but I’d be scared to death to fly alone. I’m a wimp like that.

Hope you get to feeling better! I also hope your grandmother gets better. Flying isn’t bad, and it will get you there faster than car or bus.

Weird we all got sore throat and weird coughing thing yesterday morning too! It seems to be better today, I’m hoping it was just the weather or something.
