March 17, 2017. Madison, Mississippi. Rita and Ian.

They are having a run of bad luck.  Their travel plans have been tipped upside down like a cocked hat.   In early January they were coming to Mexico to be with us in the condo.  Getting away from Ottawa in January and February is a good idea.  But Rita got sick just before Christmas and was in hospital for a few days.  White there, unbeknown to her she contacted an infection, so when she came home intending to recover she instead got worse.  Her infection is now gone and she is well, down to one nap every other day.

Next plan for them was to come to Mississippi to see our Mississippi family and our new home.  They have yet to visit us here.   But Ian was given a high number on his prostate test, so at the moment they are trying to figure out what to do.  They meet with the Oncologist and the Urologist to map out a plan next week.   Whatever their decision, the recovery will take time so they might not get to Mississippi after all,  at least not this Spring.

Some clever person once wrote a poem about best laid plans.  This certainly has the experience of Rita and Ian this Winter season.
