I knew that airfares had gone up lately, but I didn't realize that flying now costs an arm and a leg!!
I'll be thinking of her too. All these prayers from friends should give your aunt a leg-up in her efforts.

Latest update is that United found the bag, gave it to US Airways and US Airways now has given it to America Worst. Tonight America Worst will hand it over to the luggage van who will make a 2 hour trip to deliver the bag.
United Express charged her extra because her bag was too heavy. Apparently America Worst had no way of knowing this so held the bag and didn't put it onto the next flight because it was overweight. That's what they're saying anyway.
God bless PENNY from US Airways baggage claim for personally tracking down the bag and getting it onto the next flight. Thankfully we had been told NOT to deal with US Air through their 800 baggage number but to find out the number direct to the baggage office at the airport. Since the bag might have been in any of three airports, we got lucky to find it in the first office that we called. We actually got told by one of the 800 number agents (can't remember which airline) that "most people just give up and never find their bags, it's just too confusing and too much of a hassle".
And of course all the airlines asked "why in the world was her LEG in her baggage"? and the answer is BECAUSE IT DIDN'T FIT INTO THE OVERHEAD! Bud-dum-pump!

When Aunt Peg went to get her replacement leg fitted she met a woman who's artificial leg was too short. That leg was shorter than her other leg. Her name was Eileen. There was also a Japanese woman whose artificial leg was shorter than her own leg. Her name was Irene.

sunburn1944, you should see what the nursing students and the cleaning help at night do/arrange with the practice dummies (both whole and dismantled into parts.)
I had to make a rule. No more than 1 practice model in a bed. One time I had to go bring one to be mended and when I pulled it out of my trunk, a man in a closely parked vehicle looked like he was going to faint.
We're not even going to talk about the organ models.
