I'll add info under natural remedies...
Thank you
@MoBookworm1957 , those grandbabies sure do become our whole life...
Prayers that she is not seriously ill.
Prayers for you and the upcoming surgery.
Apply heat to that knee everyday as often as you can.
Gets the vascularity up for the bones and muscles...for quick healing.
Every little bit helps.
Mine is beyond my expectations.
Let us know about that little GD.

Prayers for your sweet granddaughter, and for you, Mo.
Snappy 1: recipe for the fig butter, please?
45 min drive to dentist, 2 hrs in the chair, 45 min home. My face hurts. Did some grocery shopping. Pork butt was 97 cents a lb. Got 3 big packages.
Made some hamburger soup for supper, but husband won't be home till late, so I'll wait for him.
Cousin called to catch up, but I could hear her teeth chattering in the phone shack.

Forgot to say: will be putting that pork in the crockpot to cook all day tomorrow, then I'll shred it. The kids will come home from school and ask what's for dinner (like always) and I get to say a pig's butt. It'll be funny.
UGH! I hate it when that happens.
It didn't get here today, at this point its passed me twice on the highway.

We can all say some prayers. I hope it is not serious and that granddaughter gets well soon.
@MoBookworm1957 Prayers to you and grand baby. Keep yourself well first. You can't be run down going into surgery. We're praying for you both.
@Amish Heart Ouch! Good buy on pig butts though.
I worked at my old job today and will tomorrow then Friday back to "new job" which is for ourselves but means I will be playing catchup.

Okay, one more. Has anyone heard from @hashbrown ? Don't these folks know they are supposed to keep us informed so we don't worry about them?
@LadyLocust hashbrown checked in over thanksgiving. If he gets busy he might not post for a few weeks... normal.
I had to go to the courthouse to take care of business for dad, did a little shopping while in town. I took it easy afterwards, just worn out.

I stopped by a battery store to buy an unusual one for my laser sight. The sales person - very nice guy - said they were having a sale on LED lightbulbs. A pack of eight of them for $2.43, I think they were 9 or 11 watts each - equivalent to a 60 watt incandescent. 30 cents per bulb. Now that's cheap! So I bought a box.
Came home and thought I would do the family a favor by replacing some in the guest bathroom (my sister is visiting). We have an old six globe bulb fixture in there from the 80's. I'll admit, I had let the bulb replacing slide over time (those globe bulbs are expensive). We were down to two out of six bulbs still working. They were 25 watters, so we had 50 watts of yellowish incandescent light up there until today. Now we have 360 watt equivalents at 5000K kelvin color temperature (bright white)!
I'll tell you, the first time my sister turned on the lights, she screamed. It's like the surface of the sun in there! Doesn't help that the walls are painted white and the counter tops are white marble. Large mirrors all over too. We ended up unscrewing five of the six bulbs to protect our eyes. So down to only ONE of those Binford 2000's for now.

It's 6:55am..so im watching the news and drinking coffee while posting this.i'll be doggy sitting a neighbors dog later on.
Just for the record, an electrical glowing glass sphere is called a "light bulb". Which is why the smiley was entered as one word instead of two.
I'm off until at least January 2nd. I've got plans but nothing earth shaking. I'm now trying to figure out what to do for today. Not trying real hard though...
After having so much success turning or bathrooms into supernova intensity tanning booths, I decided to go for kitchen light replacement today. I was so happy to find 3 foot LED fixtures in Home Depot. We have recessed ceiling florescent tubes. 4 foot is common, and cheap. 3 foot is a totally different story. Of course, the stupid builders put 3 foot in our house and we've been suffering with it all these years. Like $10 per tube to replace, and you don't even want to know what the ballasts cost.
A bigger job than I thought, but I'll finish it one of these days. Will be nice to have LEDs that shouldn't need replacing during my remaining years.

Update on grand daughter.
She had vomited in her sleep, choked was turning blue when her mama found her.
She was life flight to Children's Mercy Hospital Tuesday night.
They have taken blood.
Seems someone didn't do his job completely in June.
ENT surgeon put tubes in her ears in June, but didn't take out her tonsils or andnoids.
So my little girl has been suffering to just breathe since June.
Her tonsils are so swollen they're touching each other.
She also is suffering from Obstructive Sleep Apnea.
She has lost 3 pounds this week.
I'm still rocking, praying.
Yesterday, while I held her while they were taking more blood.
She was singing Frere Jacquez?
Granny teaches her songs weekly.
We're home today.
I have her again tomorrow at my house.
Oh, she's allergic to her sister's cats too.
But so is Granny.
Terri, she and Strawberry were trying to play today.
Hopefully her tonsils come out next week.
Next Wednesday, her Pulmonary Doctor is doing a sleep test Wednesday.
To see if it's safe to take the tonsils out.
As for the doctor whom didn't do his job.
He will have a review board meeting.
My Grand daughter could have died.

Thank you for the prayers.
It means so much to me.
Please keep praying, .

So sorry... an airway check is so basic. Swollen tonsils should have been caught. Sounds like someone is on the ball now... This incident will guarantee she'll be checked with a fine tooth comb, so maybe some good can come from it. Wishing you and yours the best.

Yes mam, I am so glad that she is ok
Shouldn't be surprised though.
We ask God to take care of her and he did.
Hope y'all have a good visit .

Poor sweet girl. Prayers for you, too, Mo.
This is Duck day… getting all my ducks in a row. Transmission and oil filters changed, fluids topped off, new shock absorbers installed. I still have to check the tires for proper inflation. I need a new air gauge. I no longer trust the two old ones I have. They are good enough for a tractor or baler but I wouldn’t trust them for a truck or car.
Laundry in the wash. I’ll pack my bag afterwards, clothes I’ll wear already hanging on back of the door. I’ll pack my meds and tinctures on Sunday morning then I’m off.
I driving up to the big city Sunday afternoon to stay the night. I have my hotel rm reserved. Out patient procedures and appointments begin at 0600 Monday morning, it’s going to be so much fun. With any luck I’ll be headed home by early afternoon.

Praying for Peanut and Mobookworm's grand! Please do updates when you all can!
Yesterday was doc appts, mine for semi annual and DH for COPD. Both went well or as well as expected. Stopped at thrift shops, but spent nothing. Got goat feed and then Walmart for next year's eBay folders. Then home and all chores done.
Today is National Banana Bread--really banana fruitcake-- Day (at my house, anyway). Will get started as soon as I am off here.

Thoughts and prayers Mo.
Used up some comp time today so I could work on a couple Christmas gifts. Picked up a Walther P22 and added some HiViz sights for my youngest boy, he is tired of sharing guns with his sisters. Then I picked up an Aero Precision lower and completed it with a Midway lower parts kit for my oldest boy. He has an AR-15 with two uppers, now he will have two complete AR's. Or he will after Christmas anyway. In just a bit I need to sneak out to the store and pick up a couple things for the wife for Christmas from the kids. Not gun related... unfortunately. I also need to chop some ice off the drive way get a pork loin in the smoker.

All the best for your granddaughter, MoBook...
I've got a powwow with the foot doctor this morning. Going to try and see why my plantar fasciitis isn't getting better. Also going to do a once-over just to look and see that being diabetic hasn't caused any changes in my foot. Routine stuff...
