This will take a course beyond any expectations.
I make appointments for haircuts using email.
My barber closed her shop and "retired" about 5 years ago. Of course, being the unimaginative person that I am - I followed along to her home. She set up her chair in her living room for about the 1st year since I must not have been the only person tagging along. Before too long, she had relegated the barber chair to her large utility room, just screening off the washer & drier. I continued to show up.
About a week after I'd asked for an appointment time, I got a reply from her daughter! "Mom's in hospital. Here is her friend's number." Another barber shop. That was yesterday, this morning I have this very strange email: "Been kidknapped. tall building in valley. others here. dialsis."
Just like that . . . wow! The email info says the same phone was used as the message from her daughter. I think I've got this figured out. I know that Mom & daughter in her 30's live together. Daughter takes cell phone to respond to Mom's messages - returns cell phone to Mom. Illness, confusion.
It really helps for me to sort these things out by writing. I could think of no other response to the email than: "? dialysis?" I don't use a telephone so won't call the daughter at home. I'm reluctant to take the drive to show up unexpectedly there.
I certainly know something about dialysis, illness, confusion . . . I just didn't know my barber would be going thru this. What an odd post on TEG . . .
