    Lanette My partner just finished an audible book on the Spanish flu. I wonder if it was the one you are thinking of? It's by John M. Barry. The Great Influenza

    Beth Will be thinking of you as you get your disabled son home. I know the adjustment will be a challenge. Glad your younger son is there to help with the physical demands.

    Barbie Lots of meals from that nice turkey!

    DH just went to Aldi's. Fortunately he went at an off time. He got mad at me because he is right I was running around getting supplies more than I should have been. I did try to take precautions that I know he is not doing like wipes at doors. In and out as quick as I can. I did get take out from a One person show. This too will stop. DH still is behind in how serious this crisis is. He is still in the how this is effecting him. He will soon come to the place I am. In the meantime I just need to be patient and do what I can do to protect him from himself.

    Beth prayers I know you are making a good decision. I am glad we have a safe place to take our son when they are ready to release him.

    I did call hospital and told them I am ready to help son at home if he is up for it. I did request a two months supply of his meds. I know it goes against protochol but times are different now. I will leave it to the doctor to decide what is best but if I am ready to do my part to take some pressure off the medical system.

    Allie there are all kinds of things on line that are free for your granddaughter. Museum visits, exercise, yoga. These are great since getting out and many of the schools are scrabling for their educators to get things up and running for students. Having her write and read are always wonderful activites.

    DH is more paranoid about CoVid than me! Lol. Usually I’m the one. Think it’s because of the ghost park we are in.

    Walking a lot, reading, not a whole lot more. Trying to convince DH to order stuff for pickup at Walmart just to go for a ride.

    Li2love2life - Welcome! What should we call you? And where are you approximately? :D
    Your post caught my attention because of your profile picture. It is a Klimt, of course. Did you know that Klimt died of the Spanish flu? Aaaarrrgh! Actually, he may have had other conditions, but it finished him off.

    Amber - I remember when my elder son was very young, younger than JR, every time I went to the toilet he followed me in and when I tried take paper to wipe my bottom, he would shout, "I'll do it!" Used to drive me nuts! :o You are soooooo patient!

    Machka- It is wonderful you support your husbands baking. It is great for him.

    My office just pushed for us to work from home if we want to. Unfortunately, I can only work from home part of the day since some of my responsibilities require me to be in the office. I figured I can enjoy my coffee at home while I respond to emails in the morning then come in later in the day. Both of my teens are at home. I have a feeling that their schools will stay closed until the end of the year. We will see.

    Take care,
    Anna from OK

    On my Facebook page timeline I have a number of activites for children posted for those of you who have or know or children who need academic activites. A fellow retired teacher is posting them and the I put them on my timeline. The schools are working like crazy to create online curriculum for our students. So a big shout out for teachers!!! It will take some time to get up to speed so know theri is wonderful material out there already to use might help the parents who have not have to be in this role save themselves and their children headaches. I have two nieces who are now in this postion, so much of this is for them, too.

    I am involved because I have a good teacher friend who is in the throws of this and is not on Facebook because her district discourages them joining, so I send her these links via e-mail.

    Katla I do hope you can get this colonoscopy issue with your doctor over & done. As you know, I am pro-colonoscopy. But the Cologuard test in select patients is very reliable (99.94% negative predictive value). You have had a negative test. Why did you do Cologuard if you are going to have a colonoscopy anyway? That's the question I would want answered.
