This and That

I am home again. Did you notice that once I got home my messages ended? I got home Wed afternoon and plastered myself to the couch for a couple of days. I think I am mostly recovered now.

I was visiting with Jami tonight (on the phone). She is helping me with my new house. She said if I want a basement, just get a shovel and get to work. Then I need to let her know when I am ready for the house. I will need 6 pieces of plywood and 6 2 X 4's. She is going to get me a fancy blue print made up so I will know exactly how to connect the plywood. She also said that a tarp is optional. And the best news is that she will do all that AND even give me some color schemes for the outside all for her low price of only $1,000. I hope she gets this outside plans done soon because I am anxious to get going on the interior design also. I will keep you posted as the pictures come. Oh and Jeff says that he will find some property for me to put my house on. For some reason, I'm guessing that the property would have Jeff's name on it. So much help. (I wonder where they will be when I start packing boxes).

Now here are a few pictures of my adventures in Utah.

This is Rachel just after surgery. They had just got her in her room. I can't believe how good she looks, even though it is not a very flattering photo. Sorry Rachel. You weren't into posing yet.

This is the day after surgery. Rachel wanted to check out what Becky had put on the blog about her and check out her photos. Once again, she just wasn't acting sick enough.

This is Rachel the 1st day after surgey. The real question was what was she doing in the bathroom-----she had a catheter in her and the other end had no clue what it was supposed to do but she just wanted to go sit for a few minutes, so we let her.

Then I decided to give Rachel a short break and I went and visited mom. I was going to get a pic of dad too, but forgot. Next time. Mom is walking around with a walker quite a bit. Her leg is still very sore to put weight on, but she says that it is getting better slowly.

This is Jami on the other side of the bed. She was at Huntsman for a dr app't and stopped to see Rachel. This is day 4 for Rachel.

And this is just proof that I really was there.

And Becky and James and Anna came to visit.

Anna helped Aunt Rachel with her lunch so the nurses would think that Rachel was eating. Anna chose the green jello. Rachel was never going near the hospital jello. I think that if eating the jello was a pre-requisite for getting out of the hospital, Rachel would still be there, unless............ Anna could help her out
