Dr. Mom

Mother of six. Cosmetology degree. And seemed to have been shy of a MD because she always seemed to know how to diagnose and cure our every ache and ailment.

I have been sitting in this recliner for almost a week. For the first time in my life I have Pneumonia. I wonder what little home remedies she would know about this one.  Before I went to the doctor this week I could hear Mom's voice telling me to gargle and rub myself down with "Thieves." (Which was her cure for everything!)  So I did. I even drank an 8 oz. glass of water with about 7 drops of tongue burning Thieves. Did it work? No. Did it bring back memories? Yes.

Whether it was holding my head on the sofa with a fever, cleaning up the bathroom from my terrible aim in vomiting, or making me some hot tea and heating pad for my monthly visit from Mother Nature. She was good. She was one of a kind!
