Back From Visiting

I am now back from visiting Nana and Connie. Aaron came with me this trip. It was Aaron's first time to the nursing home, where Connie now resides. Connie seems a bit more "with it" and a bit less depressed than he was at the hospital over the last month. But, his spinal abcess contiunes to cause too much pain for him to sit or walk so he has now been confined to bed for over 2 months. He's lost quite a bit of weight. His kids have looked into a homeopathic medicine that is derived from oregano. It is a lotion, drops and pill combination 3 times per day (with meals). They started him on it today. Might as well try it; traditional western medicine seems to have no real hopes for getting rid of that nasty abcess. Nana seems pretty good. She, Aaron and I all went out to Paul's Restaurant for dinner. Her 82 birthday is this coming Friday, 7/22/05. I need to call my sibs and seeif we can all go over and tkae her to dinner or something.
That's the update form Shute-ho for today.
