There isn't anything really new to report. We built four new garden boxes. They are spaced so I can reach them from the wheelchair on three sides. That is really great for me and much easier on Grammie's back.
I woke up a couple weeks ago and immediately realized my leg wasn't hurting. It lasted for three wonderful days. During that time I had big dreams of returning to teaching. Reality returned when it started itching like crazy, followed by deeper and more intense pain. I still don't have the constant raw road rash pain, which is nice. Usually my mornings are pretty good, but I'm climbing the walls by bed time. The only thing I can figure is whatever is causing this has moved from the nerves to the muscle. I'm starting pool therapy today. Maybe that will help with the stability.
We went to listen to Jenny Maples misson talk yesterday and had a delightful family dinner afterwards.
Gabe (Uncle Lionel's boy) found a floor (3ft x 4ft) puzzle he really liked at the hospital gift shop. I took him over on Friday to buy it. They had one put together and covered by plexiglass. When I picked up the boxed puzzle, he got really frustrated because he wanted the "big" one on the floor. I tried to explain to him that when we put all of the pieces together, it would be just like the big one. He wasn't convinced and complained all of the way back to Grammies house. Unfortunately his mom was waiting for us and he had to leave before we could get it put together. He didn't care because he wanted the "big" one anyway.
Aunt Emma starts classes next week. I'm going to do pre-school with Gabe during her class time. He's really excited for me to be his teacher, but can't figure out how we can have school at Grandma's. It should be at a school building. "That's why they name it pre-SCHOOL!" He's a lot of fun.
Lynn is doing good. He was here for the BYU football game last Saturday. Between Tyler (Marie's husband), Grammy, and Lynn I thought the roof was going to come off. They are pretty animated. Tyler and Marie, Hancocks, Dyers and I are going to the USU-BYU game. Grammy decided she didn't want to watch the game at home alone. So she is going too. It should be fun. For some reason, I think we'll be sitting on the BYU side (Yep even Hancocks and Dyers are BYU fans).
Due to house and car repairs, Grammy and I are pinching pennies right now, so we probably won't be joining you this time in Boise. However we would like to another time. We hope you really do make it to State - Jae. We look forward to FHE with Jeanne and Chad. We really hope Tonia and Doug will join us too. We miss all of you and love you dearly.
Aunt Kathy
