We left on our cruise to the Bahamas on Jan 2 and returned to the port in Charleston, SC five days later. I posted that our daughter, Tammy had surgery the afternoon we got back. It went well, but nothing's ever typical with our girl. She's been in pain since then (almost a week ago now) and was at the ER Friday with a partial Ileus which is similar to a bowel obstruction. She's home and doing just a little better, still in pain. But we're still trusting God to heal her; I know He loves her even more than we do. We've all had a rotten head cold that has gone through most of the family. My husband had it during Christmas (which turned into pneumonia), our son got it midway through the cruise, I got it the night we got back to Charleston, our son in law got it the next day, and our granddaughter caught it from her boyfriend at Christmas. The only ones to escape so far are the two grandsons. But we're all getting better, just feel bad and coughing. I'm scheduled to sing a couple of specials at church next Sunday, so sure hope I can sing by then. Our grandson Nathan is enjoying his car he got for Christmas...came over yesterday for dinner and helped my husband pour concrete for a new walk way. Hope all y'all are well. Winters can breed a lot of nasty germs, so stay hydrated, don't touch your face or anywhere above your neck to maybe prevent getting germs inside you, rest when you don't feel well if you can, open windows when possible, and spray lots and lots of disinfectants! The photo is when I sang this song at the Karaoke lounge.

@1creekgirl I rarely get colds etc but managed to get a chest infection a few weeks ago. Not sure who gave it to me.

@1creekgirl I got an antibiotic that saw it off but was left with no energy for about a week after.

@xFiacre These colds and respiratory issues really zap your energy.

So sorry so many of you got sick and that Tammy is still in pain! We both got colds/bronchitis around Christmas. I was lucky and didn't get sick until the day after Christmas. Hoping that you can sing next Sunday. What a good grandson! Take care and y'all get well soon! Great pic of you!

Thanks, Linda. I'm glad to hear you're improving...is your husband better, too? The photo was me at karaoke on the cruise. I did "Help me make it through the night" and my version of "Perfect."

@1creekgirl I thought it might be karaoke. We are all better now, thanks. There must have been a LOT of cold viruses going around at Christmas and New Year.

Hope your daughter recovers quickly, doesn't sound fun at all. So far, I have managed to avoid a cold or the flu, but then I have been avoiding people!

This time of year, it's probably a good idea to avoid people as much as possible.

I think most of us are better. Our daughter's still dealing with several things, but praying she'll be well soon.
