With my mother's improvements, my parents are actually thinking about taking a trip. My father turned 75 last year, and for his birthday my wife and I gave him a trip to anywhere he wanted to go. (And of course, if he wants to take my mother along, that's fine also. ) The idea got put on hold when my mother's cancer came back last fall. And since then things have been pretty dicey.
But now he's actually wondering about them taking a trip together. He's keen on seeing Alaska (which I loved when I visited) and my mother is more interested in going to Provence in France. Either trip could have its complications with my mother's health.
I hope this gives them something to look forward to and think about.
And I hope it's Alaska.
Planning a trip anywhere is a delicious form of hope! Just the photo of the cruise ship brought me feelings of joy for your mother. I had planned to visit you yesterday to tell you about the ginger, a practice I am going to implement for myself, and I wanted to let you know about it for your mother. I did get a comment from a Zach today, but no email or url, so if that's you, then you already know. If not, I think its worth consideration, as long as it doesn't upset her stomach. We have used ginger tea and lemon for colds for years. I am going for the capsules on this one. Dalene
