Here But Not Here

Mr. Fixit is back in the US, but he isn’t home. He’s in Memphis. He had to cut his vacation short. His sister who lives in Memphis went with him on the trip. She received word that a member of her family found out that she has a major medical problem. She asked Mr. Fixit if he would accompany her home. Her daughter had a doctor’s appointment Tuesday, and they thought maybe Mr. Fixit could help translate so they would understand the situation as clearly as possible.

The doctor should have the information he needs from some additional testing by Thursday, and then decisions will have to made.

Mr. Fixit said he wants to come home Friday, but I don’t know if he will be able to get reservations at this late date. Friday is a travel day for business travelers. I don’t know either if he can get a direct flight from Memphis to Greenville. I hope so. If not, I know there are lots of flights from Memphis to Atlanta. If he comes into Atlanta, I hope he waits until Saturday or Sunday because of traffic in the city on weekdays.
