And.........................

Well I'll start where I left off. Mom got here last weekend and I was sick as a dog. My allergies turned unto a bronchial thing and I was a mess. Cliff went on Friday and picked her up at the airport. She said if she had known I was gonna be sick she would have stayed home. Cliff told her that I only got really sick the night before so oh,well.

Saturday I rallied a little and drove her to Vegas to Uncle Hugh's funeral. It was held a Palm Mortuary on Eastern and was really the nicest funeral I have been to. Really about him and not full of preachy BS. It was also nice because many of his friends spoke who really knew him and it made me feel like I really knew him much better. It did make me sad that we sat there (his family) and had no idea who he was, while his friends knew him so well. I guess that's the way it is most of the time. Most people are who they are "suppose to be" to their family and only their friends know the real "you".

By Sunday I was in bed all day again, Aunt Helen came over and her and Mom visited but I was pretty out of it. Got up Monday and dropped Mom off at the airport in my pj's didn't even put on the boobus just went commando. Came home and stayed in bed the rest of the day. When I went to the doctor on Tuesday morning, he took one look at me and told me I had pneumonia . Gave me a bunch of prescriptions and sent me off to treatment. By know I am burnt so bad that I look like a trauma victim. I am amazed that they take it as far as they do, I guess they have to but they should warn you cause "bad sunburn my ass" more like Hiroshima victim. Anyway I finished my last radiation treatment on Wednesday sick as a dog and came home. I was already blistered, swollen, and peeling. Just big weeping sores, so disgusting. I haven't had clothes on since Wednesday and now it's Monday morning and I am still in my pj's (don' t freak out they are clean , cute ones).

Cliff and I have laid around until we are about insane. Now he is coughing and sick and has a swollen groin. We looked on the Internet and it said the swollen groin could be from a cold or infection so he is now on antibiotics. We are just a mess. We were going to leave last Wednesday to go to Toby's in Oregon but have now put it off until about the 20th. Hopefully we will both be well (or at least a lot better) by then. I am also taking benadryl cause I have a rash all over the left side of my body that itches like crazy. Lord, I pray this gets better soon. So that's our sad story. Hopefully I will have something awe inspiring to write soon but as for now I am just sitting here scratching and moaning!!HA
