GO, GRANNY, GO

A friend’s mother is 87 and in a nursing home in another city. One day, the friend called her mother to see how a recent doctor visit had gone.

Grandma said. "They changed the medicine on me again!"

“Really?” replied the daughter. “What did they change?”

“They put me on Levitra!"

The daughter, taken aback, said, "You go, Girl! I bet you are the most popular person at the nursing home!"

Grandma, confused, asked what she meant.

The daughter explained that Levitra is the medicine given to men who need a little help in the boudoir.

Very disgusted, Grandma rolled her wheel chair to the hall and bellowed to the nurse: "What did the doctor put me on again?"

Turns out to have been Lexapro, prescribed to relieve anxiety and depression.

The daughter deadpanned, “They either need to increase her dose or share it with me.”

Prayer request: Father, we lift up the family of Ben Mellor, who died of leukemia five days short of his 16th birthday after a courageous year and a half battle. His memorial service will be at 1 p.m. Thursday. In a touching sidelight, the family has asked that teenagers in attendance may bring their skateboards to the service. We pray that Ben’s faith, courage and love will live on in the hearts of all who knew him and heard about him, for he was and is “the beloved of the Lord.” (Deuteronomy 33:12)
