Gram G's Been Sick.....Post Views....22,951


YEP....it even happens to Gram G sometimes.  Good excuse for no blogging.  YEP!  Started mildly last Sunday into Monday.  Tuesday morning I felt better.  Good!  It's over.  WRONG...by late morning I suddenly hurt all over, especially my lower back and felt like I was moving slow motion. (Some in the family would argue that is normal for me.)  My entire digestive track was crampy and messed up.  Strange headache.  Low grade fever.  Haven't run a fever for over 10-15 years.  Almost considered going to the doctor, if I had a "primary care" doctor.  But I don't like going to doctors.  Endured the day and night with lots of fluids and Tylenol.  Early Wed. AM after a few hours sleep I woke up sweaty and not tense.  SO GLAD!  Though not completely well I figured I could keep a commitment I had made to a friend awhile back.

Kahana was born in Maui.  She enjoyed songs she is familiar with.  I didn't know there are cowboys and ranches in Maui.  Kahana says, yes.
