So much for vacation.

2 days ago, FIL thought he got bit by a something or other while siting in the garden. Yesterday the eye started swelling a bit, but all the dr's offices were closed (holiday) , so had to wait till today to go to a doctor.  They admitted him to the hospital and he has to stay a week.  Seems he has the same virus that causes chicken pox (although it is "not" contagious , only to pregnant women hmmm).   Dh's sister can't take time off, and his dbro wouldn't let us know in time so dh in his wisdom made the split decision to go on Tuesday (not even a week later DUH . Not only will FIL still be in the hospital but he did  not remember that we have to take care of Coffee over the memorial day weekend while  ds is travelling away for that weekend.  So we have totally cancelled the tickets. What an expensive ordeal,,as here we paid the original ticket of course, then 30% more to change it to a date when we can't go and then another % to cancel it entirely.  Now I'm gonna bet my bottom dollar that dear sis IL  will show up to "save the day"...  instead of commiting to staying here for a week so we could go on our vacation.  Bets are on.....         LOL

Oh, that's a shame, and how horrible of your SIL not to help out! I hope you are able to get that vacation soon. I know how you were looking forward to it.

Ann that's very kind of you to think about the mental vacation and doing the schedule as volunteered.
