Fred Flintstone in the Hospital

Fred Flintstone came to the hospital to see the Hubs.  Most of you know we spent a rough week in the hospital after the Hub’s emergency surgery.  The Monday after surgery, I came into his room and he was having problems breathing.  They rushed him to ICU to stabilize him.  The Respiratory Group kept coming in to check on him and give him breathing treatments.  The night respiratory person was named Jeff.  Every time he came in throughout the night, he {Read More}

Lost in Atlanta

Atlanta Skyline from Buckhead

Mom and I were lost in Atlanta on a hot summer day.  It was the weekend of my 25th birthday and I had to go to Porsche Cars North America for warranty training the following Monday.  She decided to tag along and we went down early to check out Hot ‘Lanta and sight see.  Now, normally getting lost– let alone lost in Atlanta– wouldn’t be such a big deal.  Except, my mom likes to ask strangers for directions…
