Sis and I took a quick trip to Wayne.
Carol A., right in black sweater, watches Dee playing bingo in the assisted living center below the water tower in Wayne. Carol A. had called her the day before so she was aware we were coming.
Ron, Dee, and Carol A. in Dee's apartment. She has a corner room and lots of light and windows. She has just had knee cap surgery which did not look correct. The knee cap or bend of knee was at least 3 inches higher than normal. She was a wiz with the electric wheel chair that she was using. A physical therapist who had worked with her on the "other side" (more care side) came to visit. She plays rugby for a club at Wayne State and was very excited about an upcoming trip to the East coast for a tournament. Anybody know that Wayne State or Wayne had any rugby experience?? The men's and women's teams are apparently POWERHOUSES and beat most opponents by large scores!! Who knew!!
Then to Donna's for a visit. She bought her favorite picture on the wall behind her for a dollar at an auction many years ago. Her dog, Muffy, is 13?? She played a neat DVD with photos of her kids. They had put it together for her last birthday. She rattled off all the kids, wives, children and grands as we scrolled thru the show.
A posed shot with sis. Sis took a shot with myself and Donna but I think it was a video!! Maybe sis will share one from her camera??
The willow bowl at Wayne State is being renovated. The new steps are in and a couple of small willows have been planted. When we first attended (late 1940's) Hahn School (in background), the Willow Bowl was a beautiful, signature entrance to the college.
We drove to Sioux City to visit Frances N who had major surgery for a colon blockage. It was mainly a tumor with a very small spot of cancerous material. They removed a section of colon including a spot with diverticulitis (spelling?) and rejoined the colon, so no colostomy. They also removed an ovarian cist. She looked very good and was delighted to have visitors. Connie had not told her we were coming, so she was also very surprised.
We arrived at 7:20 and visited until 9pm and Frances was still alert and involved in the conversations. Her only complaint was the "girdle" bandage that was around her midsection which kept pinching.
All of the "aunts" said to greet all the folks at the lake. So HI GUYS!!
