After failing to hear from state Sen. Ophelai Ford by late Saturday afternoon, concerned family members were planning to head to Nashville to bring her home, said Shelby County Commissioner Joe Ford.
We know that she checked out of the Holiday Inn in Nashville but we don't know what other hotel she checked into," Ford said of his sister. "But we will be going to Nashville to get her."
Ophelia Ford has blamed a string of bizarre episodes in Nashville on 'chronic anemia." She has flatly denied any suggestion that she has a drug or alcohol problem.
Joe Ford Said he hopes to be in Nashville by today with a niece to bring his sister back to Memphis, but that depends on their ability to reach her by cell phone. She has repeatedly ignored his calls, Joe Ford said.
"We just hope she will answer her cell phone and tell us what hotel she is at," he said.

Yes as a consultant...For those who aren’t sure that’s her nephew FORMER US Rep. Harold Ford JUNIOR. The Joe Ford in this article is her older brother.
Wonder what hospital she was in for that two week stay? Was it rehab?
Very sad looking woman. She certainly looks like an alcoholic. M
Is she elected to her state’s Senate, or the Congressional Senate?
It’s been something every day for about a week now. When they find her this time it’s gotta be straight to the hospital under lock and key.”
Sounds like she needs to pair up with Britney and Lindsey Lohan and go partying!!!
State Senate. Heaven forbid that thing would make it to Congress, but there’s been far worse.
Just ridiculous. She needs to be dragged by the hair to the dry-out clinic.
Anemia.
Hah!
Suuuuurrrrre!
State, she ran for her disgraced and convicted brother John Ford’s seat, first the dead/criminals won her the election by just 13 votes, the state senate vacated her election and then she won by over whelming margin this last election. Now this drinking stuff surfaces and we are stuck with her because she is a Ford.
She better have lots of money to afford those hotel rooms, we only pay for them when they are in session, not when they aren’t.
Ophelia her pain.
I’d check the next Anemiacs Anonymous meeting for her.
Thank you for the (distressing) information.
Whatta mess.
Thanks for the info.

Just fyi.
(She's suing the senate now it seems)
Can’t they kick her out of these committees or force some kind of rehab if she doesn’t straighten out? Having had an alcoholic husband and three alcoholic siblings, I can empathize with what she goes through but the woman needs help fast and the Senate needs to address this, especially when she shows up drunk.
Just look for a crack pipe. She’ll be nearby.
