I just caught hell from my octogenarian mother. She lives in Maryland.

"Hi mom."
"You write about everybody else when they are sick. Why don't you write about me?
"Alright, mom, I'll bite. What's the matter with you?"
"Well, the doctor now says I've got MRSA and low sodium, UTI and advanced kidney disease."
"I'm sorry mom. I will make sure to write something."
"Well, don't be mean. And don't write bad things about Obama. Romney would be even worse."
"I pick on everybody mom. I have to get back to work. Love you, bye."

Four new diseases in a week. She must be ecstatic. Hope she gets and feels better soon.
