REMOVING STAPLES

I have been helping Nancy this week and she gets better every day. Today she went to have the staples removed and replaced with little bandaids on the long incision scar. Twenty eight metal staples were removed. The incision is looking good. She was able to walk in using her walker after her Physical Therapist came in a couple of days ago and found her walking without the walker and scolded her. She is now trying to walk 5 minuted each hour to strenghten her leg and it seems to be working.

After they took out the staples and took two X-rays we drove back to Acton to get her mail, and then she used her walker to eat at the Cotton Patch cafe in Granbury. We then spent a half hour getting a prescription from her eye doctor filled and got home just before the home care nurse came to check her blood. She had been out of range on blood thinness and finally today came back into normal so they won't have to come every day to check on her.

Yesterday I spent the afternoon in Fort Worth at the Annual Conference of the Methodist Church where my resolution on supporting creation science was debated and voted down. More information on that is in my creation blog. While I was gone, Nancy's granddaughter, the math teacher, who is out of school stayed with her and washed her hair.

I will return to Cross Plains to assist the Library during Robert E. Howard Days Friday and Saturday, teach Sunday School Sunday and make the Library board meeting Monday.
