Missionary Bear - Celebrating Birthday and rooting for USA
We have had an eventful couple of weeks. On Feb. 12th we had a party to celebrate the opening of the Olympics and Jordan's birthday. It was strange to not have him here for his birthday. But, he has almost reached the 10 month point. It has gone fast in some ways.
The opening ceremonies was "different". I was inspired to write a poem about it. (see my rambling writings) It has been amazing to see how they continue to not get the concept of the Olympic Flame. To see the public stuck behind a tall fence to try and see it has been a joke. They just didn't expect that people would be so interested in seeing it. (who would have guessed)
On Sunday the 14th we went down to Springville to Cindy's to meet a lot of the family for dinner. It was great to see everyone. It has been really nice to have family closer. We have seen everyone so much more in the last few months.
Today was one of those days that just doesn't go at all like expected. The phone rang at 8am. Joan was on the the phone asking if I could come over and help her get the Granny up out of her chair. She was having so much pain in her right knee that she couldn't get herself up and could hardly walk. I ended up taking her to the ER to see what was going on. We were worried because her right knee had been replaced 10 years ago, and were afraid that something had happened to the joint. Well, after blood tests and x-rays, we found that everything is fine with the joint. The doctor thinks that she has twisted it some. She is now back home with it wrapped and on some pain pills. Joyce is staying with her till Monday morning. We will see how she does and hope for the best.
