R & R (Rest and Relaxation)









The end of last week 10-3-08 Gail had surgery on her ankle for ligament repair and a bunionectomy. The doctor said the surgery went well and that for the next 3-4 days Gail was to stay off her feet and do nothing but get bed rest. Luckily it was conference weekend so she was able to watch TV while in bed. We had a great rain storm and it snowed on the mountain. While
Gail has had a painful R & R being frustrated with not being able to get up and do things, I have enjoyed my R & R by carving on my walking sticks and driving up over the mountain to see the leaves, wild life and snow. (While I was driving over the mountain Gail decided against doctors orders to try and sort laundry. In the process she fell and had to crawl back to bed. That was her second fall for the day. Either she isn't a very good patient or I am not a very good nurse.) I'll post some more scenic shots of the mountain later.

Oh man Mom is lucky that I am not down there. You have got to let Dad take care of you and just relax. I don't want to hear about any more falls. I do hope you are doing better, good luck with the rest of your recovery.

Ya Mom! Be careful! I hope you take it easy and let other people help you. I know how hard it is to ask for help, because I have the hardest time doing that myself, but you need to. Love you!

Oh no! I didn't know she fell. I am going to have to do a better job of checking on her, not just taking her word for it on the phone that everything is fine. Take care, mom. I will come by tomorrow.
