    don't know how to do the photo thing. It isn't a priority with me. At least right now. I had another Aunt (she divorced my blood Uncle years ago because of his alcoholism, but she is still the only Aunt Carol I'll ever have) go in for hip replacement. She had a stroke the following morning. I saw her today. She has lost weight she really didn't have to lose. She recognized me instantly. Speech is a bit slurred, right arm not responding very much. She has regained about 95% control of her other limbs. This is the first time in her 72 years she has been ill, and is frustrated.

    Visit the elders you care for, you never know when your last opportunity, really was. It is worth the time.

    Glad you're back honey. So sorry about your Aunt Carol but pleased to hear she hadn't lost her functions. Weight can be regained.

    You give sage advice.

    So true FBG. Hoping Aunt Carol has a full recovery.
