Slight Change of Plans

Well, I made it back from St. Thomas and then spent a few days at the beach in Panama City when I received a call from my father telling me that his doctor wanted to put him in the hospital. So I traveled to Albany immediately and have been here ever since. Not to publish his medical information here, suffice it to say that something is creating problems for blood flow to his leg and we are awaiting the diagnosis which should come later this week. He's out of the hospital, but on bed rest until further notice and a treatment plan is determined by his docs. So for now my travel plans are on hold until we know where this is going.

Albany is the town where I grew up, so it's very familiar, though very changed since I last lived here in 1977. My father has some awesome friends here and they have been wonderful. They have brought food, run errands, gave me tickets to the Little Theatre and have sat with Daddy so I can go out. Cooking meals is as easy as putting some of the wonderful meals they've prepared for us into the microwave or toaster oven to heat them up. We've had the best fresh butterbean, field peas, peaches and blueberries, and all kinds of other dishes that have been excellent. Gotta love that southern hospitality!!

Please send positive thoughts and good vibes our way!
