Thanks, guys. You have no idea what your thoughts and prayers mean to me.
My sister called and said not to go to the hospital. The place is jam-packed with flu victims and is a huge incubator of illness. I got my flu shot a while back, but it's not a guarantee. (Mom had her flu shot too, and look where it got her.) Evidently that town (Hagerstown) is experiencing an epidemic of classic proportions. She laid in a cubicle in the ER for 11 hours before a bed opened up for her. Everybody in the hospital is wearing face masks- they make everyone put one on when they walk in the door. Sis said, in regards to my coming for the "vigil", that a doctor told her to keep me away that with my new hip I'm particularly prone to infections of any sort (including pneumonia) effecting it. I'm thinking perhaps I'll go anyway.
Gary,
Darn....You may have to bring her to Montgomery County...plenty of hospital beds here. I think Hagerstown only has one hospital.
Doc
