Rains ... pours ... you get the idea.
Oh, great. I just checked my voicemail. There was a message from my aunt saying they were at the ER with Nana and could I call them back ASAP. So I did. Nana started throwing up at 3 a.m. last night. She kept throwing up, was really hot, and very out of it, so they took her to the ER. The ER folks say there's nothing they can find wrong with her, so they're treating the superficial symptoms, i.e. anti-nausea drugs, etc. My aunt wants to know if I can come stay with her for a few hours today so she can get some sleep. I was already planning to stay there tonight for a few hours to give her some time off. I wanted to be here today to help Jimmy stay off his feet. Also, I'm still sick and though I slept through the night last night for the first time in days, I kicked off the morning with a pretty nasty cough. I think it's my body trying to get the last of the gunk out of my throat. But it hurts. DAMN IT.
Did I mention my mom took a nasty spill earlier this week? She was carrying a box, so she couldn't catch herself when she started to fall. She landed on blacktop, bruised and scraped up her bad knee *and* her forehead. When my aunt found out about that little accident, she said, "Geez, what else can go wrong?" She should never have said that. NEVER, EVER SAY THAT. Especially not if you are part of my family.
