My dear friend BARB pointed out that I haven't posted an update on my sister Ducky (aka Martha) since my Sunday Dinner post.
I'm please to share that Ducky came home from the hospital this past Tuesday, Feb. 16th and is ever so slowly improving and feeling a little better day by day. With each day she's been able to eat a little more and growing a little stronger, but as we say around here, I don't think she's ready to whup a bear with a switch just yet, lol. ;o)
Besides the pneumonia that Ducky had, she also was extremely sick due to side effects from an arthritis medication that her rheumatologist prescribed for her recently diagnosed rheumatoid arthritis. She's been sick for 2 weeks with nausea and vomiting before the pneumonia set in and has lost 20 pounds. I don't think she recommends that particular weight loss program.
Ducky hasn't been able to go back to work yet and isn't sure when she'll be released by her doctor to work again. At the present time she's still too weak to even think about work, but I'm sure by the time her doctor releases her she'll be ready.
Thank you all for your words of support and your prayers for Ducky and please continue them as she's still not completely recovered, as I said.
On a somewhat related note, my sisters Donna/Zztop @ZZTOP'S LITTLE PIECE OF HEAVEN and Lisa/Cecil @ CECIL'S PLACE both have a birthday today. Neither of them blog much these days, but I linked to their blogs anyway.
Happy Birthday, Sisters! Love y'all like a hog loves slop! ;o)
Y'all have a great Friday and weekend!

Glad to hear that Ducky is back home again, may she now concentrate on a full recovery!! Of course I'll keep her in my prayers:-)
Happy Birthday to Donna and Cecil, hope they both have a terrific day!!
I giggle every time you write one of your sayings...love them! xoxo
So glad to hear that Ducky is home again and recuperating - praise Him!
My Mom has rheumatoid arthritis, so I know how debilitating it can be...I hope her doctor can find a medication regimen that provides relief without those horrible side effects. There are so many meds out there now (not so when my Mom was diagnosed - it was just 20 enteric coated aspirin a day then) that hopefully one or a combination of a few will be perfect for her.
I will keep her in my prayers.
Oh - and Happy Birthday to Donna and Cecil!!!! Wishing them both a beautiful day filled with all of their favorite things!
I have been a little behind in my blog visiting lately, so did not know about Ducky. I am so sorry she has been so ill. How awful. I hope she continues to feel better each day.
It's good news to hear about your sister.....good news is always so refreshing.......
