No Memos???

The devastating chest cold that’s been wiping out West Michigan came to our house early last week and stayed—that’s why there have been no Memos this week. We all got the congestion and cough, but other symptoms seem random: Riley had fever, Paula had chills, and I had muscle fatigue. Worse yet, it fogs the brain and if I can’t think clearly, I can’t accomplish anything. The doctor prescribed antibiotics for Paula because she has a history of sinus infections, and two weeks is a long time to have such thick congestion.

We’re recovering slowly because there’s no hurrying this recovery. My optician said she’s had the cough, albeit less severe, for six weeks. As we recover, the Memos will return on a regular basis.

We’ve focused on the Super Bowl Webinar at noon on Sunday, Super Bowl X Webinar: Energy for Life. Luckily I’d already written it, and my voice has recovered, so it’s on. Because I’m sending out the log in information later tonight, you must have signed up or contacted me by 9 p.m. Eastern Time (6 p.m. Pacific Time). If you’re occupied then, you can register and I’ll send you a link to listen later.

Our daughter-in-law Kerri is a pediatric respiratory therapist. After a couple days of restricted breathing, we have enhanced respect for what she does, so a special thank you to all the RTs, researchers, doctors, nurses, and pharmacists who keep us breathing.

I’m sorry for the inconvenience; we really hate to let you down. We’ll be back to normal soon. For those of you on the webinar, talk to you tomorrow.

What are you prepared to do today?
