To think I may have been the top story on the news!

Probably not, but I don’t ever remember being as sick as I was yesterday. Lots of chills, coughing, phlegm. Especially the chills. You know the drill.

It happened months after getting my flu shot. I was able to listen to a webinar, but couldn’t think or read the rest of the day — just sleep. I want to especially “thank” the folks in my building for the fire alarm in the middle of my afternoon nap. The kids (cats) didn’t know what was going on with the sirens blaring and recorded announcements interrupting. How long? No clue. I do remember Casey under the covers when he probably had been on top. Why’d it happen? They never gave a reason.

But then I turned on the TV and the top story was the flu! Hospitals in Allentown and Bethlehem even set up tents as mobile emergency rooms, since so many people were showing up with contagious viruses! The story, unexpectedly to me, made the national news.

Luckily, I’m doing better today and am even able to think (somewhat). I hope the tens of thousands of others affected are feeling better, as well. Looking forward to less pressure over the weekend.

As for my mother, who fell in the kitchen about a week and a half ago, today she learned she did not damage her eye! That’s great news because she landed on a blood vessel around there and bled a lot. It wasn’t until the hospital that she learned she’d broken her pelvis in three places.

So after three days in the hospital, she was taken to rehab where she’s undergoing physical therapy and practicing walking again. It started out very painful and difficult, and still is to some degree, but there’s no alternative to harder and harder work in order to get well.

Thanks to the amazing number of people who visited. Hopefully, she’ll get out next week, be able to manage at home, and MAYBE even be as nimble as her granddaughter, Frisky!
