Now my Mom is ill

The most indestructible woman on the planet.  The one who has nine lives.  The one who has lived through multiple car accidents, rare diseases like Ludwig's Angina, renal failure, double pneumonia, already went into and then out of a nursing home from age 58 to 60, is sick.  This time, it is probably for real.

But if there is a 1% chance that anyone lives through this nasty organism in her lungs "Pseudomonas Aeruginosa", it will be Yvonne King Wood.  I was just down in Texas for a visit.  She is pretty thin and pretty tired.  She can hardly walk.  But she will be damned if she doesn't get her cigarettes.  She is also quite unapologetic about it, and does not care to try to quit.  Like everything else she does, it is her call for sure.
