Grandma's Foot Update

The doctor took another look at Grandma's foot and decided to have a CAT scan done. Well, surprise, surprise, it has "at least 5 fractures." They just didn't show up on the x-rays. We feel so bad for her!!! She is a real trooper. We love her.

Grandma's Foot Continued...


LaRita and Dean came over Saturday to visit and LaRita said to take a picture of Grandma's foot and post it so you can all see how awful it looks!! Believe it or not, it actually looks better than it did a week ago.
By the way, Dean looks great!! Keep up the great recovery!

Grandma's Foot

Grandma went to the doctor yesterday. He told her she has the most "unique" injury he has seen all year! She actually called him the day before to ask about the blister, because it just kept getting bigger and bigger. (We decided it was about the size of a half of a large orange sitting on top of her foot!) Anyway, he told her to poke it so she did. She said lots and lots of stuff ozzed out of it, but it felt better to not have so much pressure.

Her garage is almost finished. The sheetrockers have been there and Don has all of the siding on the outside. It is really nice! My favorite is her new driveway and sidewalk. I totally agree with Melissa...I would love to have something like it at my house. They did stained, stamped concrete. I told Don yesterday it is almost too pretty to drive on!

I don't know if everyone knows or not, but Grandma tripped in her back yard last Thursday and twisted her foot. Don was there working on her garage, so he took her to the emergency room. The x-rays showed that it wasn't broken, but it sure is black and blue! She also got a huge blister on the top of her foot. (They aren't sure why) She is supposed to stay off of it completely for a week. Kathy got her a wheel chair, so she can push herself around her house. Hopefully it will get feeling better soon!

When we stopped yesterday to visit, Danny had stopped to see Grandma and say Hi. It was fun to see him too!

Love to all!

Grandma's Garage

On Haloween we went over to Grandma's for Trick or Treating. She was sitting out on a chair on the sidewalk near the street, because she had just gotten her new sidewalks stained.

This is a dark picture, but it looks AWESOME in real life. WOW! I wish we had done something to neat on our sidewalks!!

Here's the garage! It's going to be so nice for Grandma. Don hasn't done the driveway yet, but things are coming right along. They have the siding on the side of the garage put up, but I didn't take a picture. Everything is looking so nice, and we are happy for Grandma that she is doing something so nice for herself! (We all know she deserves it!!)
