Escape of Notions

Well, the doctor said it DID look like a blood clot in Mother Roberson's leg, and recommended abdominal sub-q heprin.  She refused, of course, saying, "that stuff 'll kill ya."  No one could convince her that the blood clot could kill her too.  She is into herbal things like I am.  She has been taking garlic tablets to thin her blood, and cranberry juice to flush her kidneys.  The blood clot seems to be dissolving, and her leg healing.

My herbal interest came from Lisa, and Laura Culberson's grandmother, Granny Culberson.  Ever so often, Mary Alice, Lisa and Laura's mother, would load up Granny Culberson and off to Jemison to the herb doctor they would go.  We got such a kick out of going to the herb doctor.  I was fortunate to be able to go with them on a couple of occasions.  Granny would have her little plastic bags full of herbs waded in her hand, and off we would go, back home.  When I started learning about herbs, I emailed Laura laughing about it; she laughed back and admitted, she was into herbs too!

My hubby is coming to take me home tomorrow!!!  yippy....

Precious memories, how they linger...  What a great song.
