I don't know that I could choke down a cup of hot water. I'm not crazy about water to begin with, but then to heat it up....
ReplyDeleteYes, to worries about the husband's health. I hope yours is better at keeping appointments and following directions than mine is. We are 6 months post having the stent placed and his breathing is as ragged as it was before.
I saw Lord of the Rings long ago and one other though I don't recall which one. I'd like to see the whole series though. I've yet to see all the Harry Potter's either.
ReplyDeleteI am currently 5th in line for the Sequel to The Plot.
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry so many worries bedevil you.
ReplyDeleteYour comment about your grandfather made me chuckle! I'm sorry you have so many current worries. We've lived through several years of people with health issues. I hope all of your folks improve!!
