    Those are a nice option but my fear is staying in any public facility right now. I just HATE this stupid virus and the anxiety it causes. After an emotional meltdown earlier, I talked to my niece who will set up a face time for me to talk to my brother if he is able.

    Peak: I have finally firmed up all the travel plans to go see my brother. We leave Friday morning and will drive to Birmingham AL, spend the night, then on to Douglasville GA on Saturday morning. We will visit with my brother and family, then depart for my sister's home in south GA for a couple of days. I haven't seen my brother or my sister in almost 2 years.

    Also finally caught the other pesky raccoon and he has been transported to the same spot where his mate was released a couple of weeks ago. He was a pleasant little fellow so he enjoyed a banana and a donut while in captivity. :D He didn't even want to leave the cage when my husband dropped him off.

    Pit: My knee is still giving me fits. I suppose it would be better if I'd sit down for a minute and let it heal but I just have too much going on this week. I'll think about that tomorrow, Scarlett.

    Pit: My brother lost his fight this morning; he slipped away peacefully.

    I am so sorry to hear that, Beth. It is good that you at least got to talk with him the other day. Are you still going to make the trip to Georgia and see your sister, and probably a funeral ?
    Sending you hugs and prayers for comfort in this terrible time of sorrow.

    Thanks, Gloria.
    Thanks, Yvonne. Yes, we will be going to the graveside service. His funeral will be at his church in Douglasville, then his remains transported to south GA to the cemetery where there will be a graveside Masonic ceremony. He will be buried next to my parents and his youngest son who preceded him in death. I'm waiting to hear the scheduled time/day.

    Pit: Sitting for five hours at the hospital today while my 95-year-old mother had a kidney biopsy.

    Peak: She got through it OK and is fairly comfortable here at her home.

    Pit: 3-5 business days until we get the results and start determining what is the next step

    So sorry ..but why would a 95 year old need a biosopy anyway? Just seems a bit extreme given her age. Hope all turns out well.

    She has a tumor the size of a large grapefruit on her tiny little kidney.

    It's causing her pain.

    She wants to live to be 105.

    Thus, a biopsy.

    Mama gets what Mama wants.

    YAY!!! Results just came in (So fast!) It's benign! There may still may be surgery needed but at least it's not The Big C.

    I'm sorry for your loss too. My brother died suddenly in June; it's hard.
