U-turns and Drive-Thru Boobs

Today Kathleen's recovery took a u-turn. She caught a viral infection and needs to go in semi-isolation. What does this mean exactly?

• No one other than family can enter the house.
• Kathleen cannot leave the house until she sees her doctor next Tuesday
• Everything must be wiped down with rubbing alcohol or anti-bacterial products
• No body contact with family
• Cannot share telephones, laptops or other items that could carry bacterial
• Very strict diet of cooked foods

Kathleen also had to be put on antibiotics. If there are even slight changes to her symptoms such as bloody nose, increased fever, diarhea, we are to call the doctor and she will likely be hosptalised. In a sterilized isolation room.

This caught all of our attentions so we had to make some quick changes to the schedule over the next five days.

Firstly, Kathleen is not permitted to go Colleen's dance recital Friday night. As this was an event she was so looking forward to, I will video it for her to view.

Secondly, Kathleen was to make a guest appearance at our two-day Bounce-athon this weekend, however, that too will be taped for her.

Thirdly, we have had to make alternative plans to celebrate a girls night and to honour everyone for their support in this whole experience. I was going to treat Kathleen and her mom Halina to a dinner out at a restaurant called My Way, a restaurant Halina has wanted to go to for 8 years. The pulling power of this restaurant is this guy named Sonny- he sings all of Frank Sinatra Songs (he used to open up for Frank years ago). So now, the plan is to prepare dinner at home, dress up and listen to Frank Sinatra tunes. Rumor has it that another friend (also named Frank who also opened up for Frank Sinatra) will call in and sing through the speaker phone. PLUS he takes requests. Stay tuned for updates on this.

Lastly, Kathleen has been looking for something to pad out her bra (since she lost 3/4 breast a month ago). Her mother found a place that has prosthetic boobs in any shape and size. The original plan was to go there on Friday, however, now that she's under house arrest, we had to think of an alternative. For a few moments, she toyed with the being driven to the place in a clean car. She had it all planned out. Whilst she'd sit in the car, I'd ferry boobs back and forth for her to try on (yes, we have tinted windows). Then an idea was born...Drive -Thru Boobs. Only in America. Only with our crazy sense of humour.

We are so flexible in our approach to life, we have become bonifide ELASTOGIRLS.
