Elegante Mother is under the weather. She has that dreadful cough, and sinus stuff that laid me flat in April. She’s been sick since last Thursday, with the symptoms increasing each day.
We went to the doc yesterday and he’s put her on a major antibiotic and a puffer. We need to go back on Friday morning for a recheck. She asked him to tell me to STOP NAGGING about eating. He weighed her, noted about a ten pound loss, and just smiled at her. He didn’t encourage me to nag, but he does want her to eat.
Because of the cough and the difficulty breathing, she’s been excused from exercise for the week, but he wants her to get up and move around regularly.
On top of all of this, Dear Husband seems to be dealing with kidney stones again. Poor man.
That makes two. I wonder when the third shoe is going to drop???

It’s rather aggravating when you can’t get into your own comments to make a comment!
I need to talk to the owner of RedEagleSpirit and find out what I’m doing wrong.
I want to direct your attention to a comment made in “To Test or Not to Test,” by my sister.
She works at an Alternative School in Indiana, where kids with all sorts of problems are given a last chance to have a public school education. Of course, one of the problems that the kids are trying to deal with is drugs.
If you read what she has to say, it makes sense for private schools and alternative schools to test their students for drugs, especially if the school is prepared to back up the testing with adequate support and counseling.
Her argument would even be enough to justify testing in public schools, and that may happen one day. Of course, you can imagine the firestorm of litigation when it’s first proposed. I bet in our lifetime we’ll see it happen.
Thank you, sis, for the clear thinking on the subject. I should have realized that YOU would be the expert I should have turned to.
